Scott, Levine to quarantine following possible exposure to Covid-19
Record-breaking case numbers part of 'holiday surge,' officials say
First wave of vaccination includes ski patrol, law enforcement, firefighters
Testing dips over holiday week; gathering ban back in place
State reports 130 new cases; officials question lag in vaccine arrivals
Others are more inquisitive: "Picture below shows people at Roxie's in Bomoseen VT around 5 pm. I am the only one wearing a mask. Can u ask the Governor at his Monday press conference what citizens should do if they witness these blatant violations of his mandatory mask order?"
They all refer to a rapidly evolving part of our social contract: compliance with Covid-19 public health guidance. Over the past two months VTDigger has received hundreds of coronavirus-related emails, phone calls and online messages from readers; many call out specific places or people not following the governor's Covid-19 emergency guidance.
Peter Erb of Hinesburg was among the emailers. "I just did a foray to the recycling center and to get gasoline and probably not one in ten people has a mask on," he wrote on May 4. "We have made too big a sacrifice for this to fail," he added. "Governor Scott must mandate face masks as we loosen up or all will be of naught."
The governor and attorney general have taken an intentionally light-touch approach to coronavirus enforcement. Scott often says he prefers to "lead," rather than "drive" — even as he is taking small but steady steps to reopen the economy and social interaction. The governor "strongly suggests" that individuals wear masks to protect other people from getting Covid-19.
That has made shame and public scolding two of the main sticks in Vermont's coronavirus compliance system. From social media groups to news website comments and official channels set up by the state, many Vermonters are not only proudly falling in line, they are on guard, and going public with their grievances.
Jens VonBulow emailed VTDigger about a trip to Walmart on April 26. "As I waited in the truck I noticed that most people were not wearing masks as they went in to shop. Some were, but most were not," he wrote, adding that his wife observed the same thing inside, along with staff wearing masks around their necks.
VTDigger is underwritten by:
"We won't be going back to Walmart anytime soon," he added.
VonBulow said in a phone call last week that he considered calling Walmart about the issue. "I just decided that I wasn't gonna waste my breath," he said. "Because what would they do that they weren't doing now? I'm sure they weren't gonna buckle down and require people or ask them, you know."
Instead he emailed VTDigger. "I just wanted to vent I suppose," he said over the phone. Asked about VonBulow's account, Rebecca Thomason, a Walmart spokesperson, said the company posts banners, decals and other reminders around the store to encourage compliance with social distancing and wearing masks.
"I understand that in Vermont it's not required, but we are absolutely trying to suggest and follow that everyone is mindful and and wears their masks for the sake of everyone," she said. "But at some point, we're doing all that we can to make sure that the public is aware and to ask that they follow it."
On this week's Deeper Dig podcast: Why we tattle.
Some big box stores, including Costco, are now requiring customers to wear masks, a decision that has drawn its own social media backlash. Walmart's enforcement philosophy is rather similar to Vermont's. "I'd rather have people want to do it for the right reasons than force them to do it," the governor said in an interview Monday.
If VonBulow had instead turned to the Vermont Department of Public Safety or the Attorney General's Office with his complaint — as hundreds of Vermonters have done — the companies could have been among those who the AG has "reached out to…to alert them that their activities – if accurately reported – may be in violation and to request voluntary compliance."
That list numbered seven Thursday and included three cosmetologists, one real estate agent, one property inspector, one tattoo artist, and an oxygen supply company, according to Charity Clark, the attorney general's chief of staff.

The patterns and the theory
The team managing Front Porch Forum, Vermont's hyper-local online social network, has watched usage surge — up to 43% above expectations for the year — amid the Covid-19 pandemic, according its co-founder and CEO Michael Wood-Lewis.
It has also increased scrutiny of the facts being presented on the platform about the virus and how people should stay safe.
"While we have always done a light review of every posting before publication, we weren't looking for misinformation in the past… We left it to the community to review those things," Wood-Lewis said. This scaled-up scrutiny has meant detecting bad information about the coronavirus coming from places like Facebook, before it spreads onto FPF, he added. "And we intercept that and decline to publish it."
Wood-Lewis said there is some neighbors-scolding-neighbors type of posting on the forums. (FPF curators block messages naming specific individuals, he noted.)
"What you find is for every one of those that gets published on Front Porch Forum you will see multiple people rally in the following days to say hey, let's, let's come together, let's support each other, let's be thoughtful about what other people are going through," Wood-Lewis said.
"And so what we see are a lot of calls for good health practices of course, but also a lot of calls for neighborliness, and stability, and coming together during these hard times," he added.
But wherever you look, at least some Vermonters are informing on each other, or reaching out for someone to tell. Police departments also say they are getting calls, but haven't been much solace to those seeking punitive enforcement of Covid-19 public health guidelines.
As of Tuesday, police officers in Burlington "have not undertaken any enforcement on this issue," Deputy Police Chief Jon Murad said in an email. But the department did "sometimes have to navigate balancing neighbors' requests to check on others' compliance (or lack thereof) with the extent of our powers under the emergency order."
Although the worst fate for these public health scofflaws is a scolding, many Vermonters remain on patrol, online and through official channels. But why? Is it all legitimate fear? Are we bored? Maybe it's a "misery-loves-company" complex; if I'm not having fun neither can you.
Liz Pinel, a social psychology professor whose research has focused on interpersonal connections, had a different way of looking at citizen enforcement. Her explanation revolved around "Terror Management Theory," which explains how humans act when we are made more aware of our own mortality, such as amid a pandemic.
The theory has been prominent in social psychology since the late 1980s, she said, and was based on the work of Ernest Becker, a cultural anthropologist who wrote "The Denial of Death," which won the 1974 Pulitzer Prize.
Here's how Pinel boiled it down (edited for clarity):
"The theory states that people, like all other animals, have this desire to self preserve, but they — unlike other animals — they know that they're going to die. They know that this desire to self preserve is ultimately going to be futile in the end, and this can cause paralyzing, potential terror. And so we can make ourselves cope, right we need to do something to restore [the sense of] reality that we're all mortal. And what we do, according to Becker and terror management theory, is we just have what they call the 'cultural anxiety buffer.' So essentially we develop culture. We develop standards for behaving. And we follow those standards. Basically we decide what it means to do the right thing, what it means to be a person of value, and we try to abide by those guidelines, those standards for behavior."
Pinel said the theory not only helped explain why most Vermonters seem to be following public safety orders, but also why they may be abnormally willing to tattle on or scold neighbors.
Research shows, she said, that when people are put in a position where they're thinking about their mortality, such as writing about their own death, "you derogate people who do not abide by your cultural worldview."
"I do think that that has a lot to do with … why people are calling [out others] who are not following social distance guidelines. Because we're living in a time when mortality is incredibly salient for people," she added. "This is what we need to do to be good members of our worldview, and people who aren't doing that are challenging our belief system and they are sort of laughing at it, and that makes us feel more vulnerable."
Pinel pointed out that Covid-19 showed just how quickly rules for good behavior can change, and the lengths people will go to maintain our psychological "dam" holding back the terror. "You know, and if other people are saying, 'Well, no, we don't have to do that.' Then that is, that's like a little hole, a little leak, in your dam that you need to stop."

To enforce or not to enforce?
Faye Hilliker, a recently retired nurse of 45 years, said she went to the Wendy's in Newport on April 15, and was surprised to see the employee handing her takeout bag wasn't wearing a mask or gloves. (She noted that the Scott administration first advised Vermonters to wear masks on April 3.)
"We went once, and I said to the girl in the window handing my husband — and I've got a bag and I'm saying 'Jim put it in the bag' — you should have a mask on. And she smiles at me, so I called Wendy's. I talked to the district manager: 'We don't have to do it.' And that was the answer I got. We don't have to," Hilliker recalled over the phone. "OK, well, I don't want to go back."
Wendy's did not respond to a request for comment sent to their corporate office on Thursday.
A manager of the Wendy's in Newport said she wasn't aware of the specific complaint, but that operations had adjusted in the past few weeks. "Oh yeah, I mean a lot has changed, we're all wearing masks and everything else now," she said.
Hilliker said that where she lives, many people still are not following the governor's advice on social distancing and face covering, despite the Scott administration's repeated claims of widespread compliance and anecdotal, regional examples backing them up.
"I can tell you, the demographics — I live in the Northeast Kingdom — the demographics up here … I don't want to sound stereotypical, but I am telling you that the majority of people up here in my area are out and about, not as much as they were, but when they are, even in the grocery stores, only maybe half, if any" are wearing face coverings, she said.
"I mean Burlington is a different place. Montpelier is a different place. Just go out, Gov. Scott, and take a little ride around the rest of the state," Hilliker added.
Apart from the governor's observations that most people are complying with his executive advice, he has also challenged the notion that ordering people to wear masks will inevitably increase compliance.
"Even with enforcement, it doesn't mean that you're going to accomplish your goal," he said Monday. "Because then there'd be resistance, then there would be people doing more reckless things, possibly."
Hilliker, drawing on her own experience as a nurse and medical research on the effectiveness of masks in stifling disease, doesn't want to hear it. She compared coronavirus compliance to smoking indoors.
"You can't, because your behavior is now affecting other people," Hiliker said. "And when you do that, your freedom stops where mine begins. So, yeah, you're the governor, sorry, guess what that means, you make laws and you make sure that they're put into place."
Hilliker said potential pushback on punishments like fines could be tempered with a clear and creative public service campaign — something like the "this is your brain on drugs" ads of the late 1980s, or a PSA meme her daughter shared with her about how pants protect us from peeing on each other, and masks protect us from spraying on each other.
"They don't believe it, and they're not stupid people they just don't believe it," Hilliker said of those in her community who refuse to follow Scott's guidelines. Why aren't her neighbors staying in line, like her? "I don't know," she said. "I have racked my brain trying to figure it out because I was very angry at first, and then I'm like I gotta let this go."

Peter Erb, the Hinesburg resident who took a foray to the recycling center, said on the phone Friday that he also ventured recently to a lunch spot in North Clarendon. Apart from being in his 80s, placing him well within vulnerable age territory amid the pandemic, Erb said he was not particularly vulnerable to the virus or its effects.
Erb was disturbed by the experience: he said staff members weren't wearing masks, and were handling food without gloves. He had planned to buy a sandwich, but decided on a container of macaroni salad instead. "I figured there was less chance of them handling that than the cheese and bread and everything, and it was probably in the cooler for a while," he said.
Why did Erb go out for lunch despite the risks? "Probably because I was stupid and hungry," he said. "You know, I mean I have a mask on, I distance, I have an alcohol spray which I keep at hand and use."
Among the governor's reasons for avoiding punitive coronavirus orders has been not wanting to further burden Vermonters already coping with the many challenges of the moment. Erb said he'd like to see the government enforce the public health orders on businesses, simply by adding masks to the "no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy.
"Governor Scott is clearly in control of what businesses are open or not open, so the order shouldn't be directed at the individual. The order should be directed at, if you, the individual, want to partake in this particular business, you have to wear a mask, and if you don't do it, fine, don't do it, that's your choice."
Erb said it's also dangerous to have citizens enforcing the rules against each other — pointing to violent incidents in other states when citizens have attempted to enforce the rules. In Michigan, a security guard at a Family Dollar was shot and killed after he told a shopper to wear a mask. An order requiring people to wear masks in a city in Oklahoma was dialed back to a recommendation after a slew of threats of violence in the first hours the order was in place.
Erb said he worried the coronavirus compliance divide, played out nationally, could turn angry and politically partisan. He also pointed to a more personal experience.
"You know my wife got into a fairly contentious discussion in a grocery store when somebody wouldn't back off, had no mask and just wouldn't distance," he said. "And, you know, that's a fairly controlled situation, and, you know, in Hinesburg."

The Canadian government has introduced nuclear liability legislation that will increase the absolute liability limit of operators from $75 million to $1 billion and permit Canada to implement the International Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage. The Convention is important for Canada as it would establish nuclear civil liability treaty relations with the US, which is already a party to the Convention.
Canada's nuclear industry supplies about 15% of Canada's electricity. This initiative will complete the modernization of Canada's nuclear regulatory framework. It also addresses a recommendation made by the Commissioner of Environment and Sustainable Development in his fall 2012 report.
"The legislation applies to Canadian nuclear facilities such as nuclear power plants, research reactors, fuel processing plants and facilities for managing used nuclear fuel"
Bill C-22, introduced on January 30, will replace the 1976 Nuclear Liability Act, following through on the Government of Canada's commitment to strengthen this important area of nuclear legislation. The legislation establishes a compensation and civil liability regime to address damages resulting from a nuclear accident. It applies to Canadian nuclear facilities such as nuclear power plants, research reactors, fuel processing plants and facilities for managing used nuclear fuel.
The new legislation will maintain absolute liability of operators of nuclear facilities for civil injury and damage. This means that anyone affected does not need to prove fault when making claims for injury or damages.
The new legislation will permit operators to demonstrate their ability to meet potential financial obligations with traditional insurance and up to 50% of their liability with other forms of financial security. The government will provide coverage for certain risks for which there is no liability insurance. It will also partially indemnify lower-risk nuclear facilities, such as small research reactors.
In a related development, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and the United States Department of Energy (US DOE) have signed an amended Administrative Arrangement pursuant to the Agreement for cooperation concerning civil uses of atomic energy between the USA and Canada.
The Administrative Arrangement provides 'further clarity' regarding the exchange of information between the CNSC and the US DOE, allowing for the continued transfer of nuclear items for peaceful uses, in accordance with Canada's nuclear non-proliferation policy.


From a political point of view, we were motivated by the realization that the right has often used, and still uses, magical tools in order to obtain consensus and shape its ideology. We refer, in particular, to the use of meme magic by the alt-right in recent years, and the recurring reference to authors such as Julius Evola by increasingly influential fascist thinkers, like Steve Bannon and Aleksandr Dugin. We believe that this resurgence of magic in right-wing environments calls for a radically anti-fascist demonological guerrilla, based on a foundational shake-up of the principles of the Right-Hand Path magical tradition.
…we wish to leave twentieth century magic behind, and propose a new millennial – and millenarian – magic, that, instead of barricading itself inside the boundaries of human consciousness, reaches beyond the human through all means available. Because of this, our magic has been widely inspired by scientific thought as a divinatory tool that can allow us to reach into the inhuman depths of matter, both theoretically, particularly through Boltzmann's statistical thermodynamics, and experimentally, by rediscovering the experience of the chemical laboratory as a new form of anti-human alchemy.
We do not wish to substitute a hierarchy for another, but to build circles without centers, that explode towards the outside instead of reaching for convergence.
This view of the cosmos as an equilibrium of polarities is rooted in our cultural substratum to the point where it is perceived as natural and, therefore, sacred and immutable. We believe, instead, that this notion of equilibrium conveys a clear political agenda, and that, far from being a perfect theory of everything, it contains arbitrary – and even absurd – assumptions. The absurdity of circular cosmology is, put simply, that it relies on perpetual motion, and thus denies the evidence of time as a material drive towards disintegration.
Finitude, transgression, excess and imperfection are essentially demonical: they belong to the realm of un-being and becoming. In this sense, there is some sort of demonical presence even in the simplest of actions, such as deciding the position of a door: when is it too far to the right or too the left, too high or too low? This is an aesthetic judgment, devoid of obvious causal links and ratio (measure)or, perhaps, completely devoid of them (an example taken from Wittgenstein's Lectures and Conversations on Aesthetics). So, the refutation of the validity of the economic principle does not make us merely arbitrary: to be revealed is the arbitrariness of the world itself, its groundlessness and the similarities it presents with games (in regard to its construction by humans but also to its self-construction's faculty aka Nature). In the frame of speculative materialism this is the core principle of Hyperchaos, led by a principle of unreason.
The barbarian is a revolutionary catastrophe incarnate, which stems from the catastrophe of modernity, that accelerationism diagrams so well, but does not perfectly coincide with it.
In my opinion, this obsession with time and recent (or even highly hypothetical) technologies you found in accelerationist circles is part of a right-wing (or right-hand path) hegemony: all eyes on the West, "Look at us, we are the future!". This is a strident contradiction: why universalize time and relative cultural traits (unifying them into an Order or a Unit) while proclaiming to be some kind of "multitude" or fragmentary assemblage? This ethnocentric fallacy is absent in the CCRU Writings, so it should be dated at least to the second wave of accelerationism (the one who spawned L/Acc and R/Acc).

Peco Bauwens
Intl. since:
Hometown: Koln
Speaks: German
Peter Joseph 'Peco' Bauwens played 1 match in Germany's national team in 1910.
One of the most important referees of his time, Bauwens officiated in 82 international matches, one of them the gold medal match at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. He was a member of FIFA executive committee 1932-1942 and president of the DFB 1950-1963. Peco Bauwens died in 1963.
Peco Bauwens joined the Nazi party in 1933, a fact that didn't stop him from becoming the president of the German FA after the war. Perhaps he showed a same anti-political attitude that helped Sepp Herberger (the famous national coach) to be able to work before, during and after the war. But when West-Germany won the World Cup in Bern, 1954, Bauwens made a faux pas. In a speech broadcast live on Bavarian radio he talked about Nordic Gods and obedience to the motherland in the same spirit as the Nazi Party had done. Some say he even had the audience sing the national anthem with the words Deutschland, Deutschland uber alles, the discarded first verse.
Bauwens held a doctorate in law, probably, the sources are not clear about it. He worked in construction. Bauwens' wife was Jewish and killed herself in 1940, a fact that doesn't really belong in this list, but always seems to be mentioned.
The one match he played for Germany was against Belgium. Belgium won 3-0 and Bauwens was substituted in the 55th minute.
The 1922 German national Championship final between Nurnberg and HSV was played on June 22 and ended 2-2 at the end of the regular time. Because there were no rules for extra time the match went on and on, exhausting the players. When it was too dark to play, Bauwens stopped the match after 3 hours and ten minutes. Still 2 goals all.
The replay ended in 1-1, when the match was abandoned after 3 Nurnberg players had been sent off and a fourth one had to leave because of an injury. It was decided to award Hamburg the cup providing they would give it back. They did.
(source : David Goldbaltt: The ball is round)
We found the three matches for the Baltic Cup on three consecutive days all officiated by Bauwens in Riga, 1929. This is a bit odd.

Monckton barristers speaking about 'Brexit: The Future of International Trade'
Monckton barristers Thomas Sebastian and Professor Panos Koutrakos spoke at an event organised by UKLegalFuture at the House of Commons on 8 February 2017.
The topic of the event was 'Brexit: The Future of International Trade'. It was chaired by Tim Ward QC and introduced by the Chairman of UKLegalFuture, John Davies (Freshfields). The audience consisted mainly of Members of both Houses, including the President of UKLegalFuture, Dominic Grieve QC MP.
Jonathan Faull (until recently Director General, European Commission, the most senior British EU civil servant and Head of the Task Force for negotiations with the UK) gave a keynote speech on 'Leaving the EU but remaining part of Europe?'. He highlighted the legal and practical challenges of the negotiations between the UK and the EU and discussed the different stages that are prescribed in Article 50 TEU.
Professor Panos Koutrakos discussed the post-Brexit status of international trade agreements that currently apply to the UK. He outlined the legal and practical issues that arise from negotiating new trade agreements and examined the UK's position in multilateral agreements (including the Unified Patent Court Agreement). His handout is available here.
Thomas Sebastian dealt with the so-called "WTO Option". He addressed two questions of process: (1) Whether the UK will be able to rely on WTO rules post-Brexit even if other WTO Members object to its proposals for revised "schedules"? (2) Whether any post-Brexit UK-EU transitional arrangements will have to be approved by the WTO? His presentation is available here.
Lourdes Catrain (Hogan Lovells International) focused on the negotiation of the UK-EU agreement. She referred to the White Paper (The United Kingdom's exit from and new partnership with the European Union) and explored the different options for the UK's future relationship with the EU, with emphasis on customs and regulatory standards.


Every internet search begins with keywords. Most simply, these words and phrases tell the search engine what a web page is about. In the old days, it may have been enough to have those keywords repeated on your pages to drive traffic to your website. Today, search engines are far more savvy and users are, too. Keyword research has become a vital part of establishing and maintaining a website's visibility.
Keywords certainly tell search engines what your website is about. Even more importantly, they specifically tell search engines what you're promising the visitor will find there. This is important for several interconnected reasons.
The more specific your keywords are, the more likely the right visitor will find you. For example, there are millions of websites containing the keyword "coffee." There are far fewer for phrases such as "small batch roasters in Princeton, NJ." This allows you to capture extremely specific traffic. Keyword research is important for determining what terms your desired traffic is searching for.
The savvy searcher looking for local roasters is unlikely to just search for the word "coffee." If you have not optimized for enough keywords or for the correct keywords, your site won't be visible. Keyword analysis uncovers keywords that will give your site the edge and rank higher than the competition.
Are visitors using your website after it comes up in the search? If so that's going to boost your rankings, too, because your site is gaining authority. That means more people will read, buy and share what you have to offer, too. This makes keyword research an excellent return on your investment.
Digital Firefly Marketing provides advanced SEO keyword research services that guarantee results. Our analyses will ensure you capture your desired audience and see growth in traffic and revenue.
First, we'll evaluate your website. This includes analysis of all SEO elements to see how your current build stacks up. We want to help you build a strong foundation.
Next, we'll meet with you. During this meeting, we'll make sure we understand your goals and what your site is about. We want to understand your vision and your target audience.
Finally, keyword analysis begins. Our experts will prepare the list of words and phrases most likely to drive traffic to your website. We want to help you rise above the competition.
Once we have the list of words and phrases, we will implement them across your site. This is the keyword optimization phase.

Untold Miseries: Wartime Abuses and Forced Displacement in Kachin State
By Human Rights Watch • March 20, 2012
In his March 2011 inauguration speech, Burmese President Thein Sein emphasized the importance of ending Burma's several ethnic armed conflicts, declaring that more than 60 years of ethnic warfare in Burma were due to "dogmatism, sectarian strife, and racism." Burma's ethnic minorities had, he said, experienced "the hell of untold miseries."
Despite his words, the miseries continue for the ethnic minority Kachin population in Burma's northern Kachin State.
After 17 years of a ceasefire in Kachin State, the Burmese armed forces launched offensive military operations in June 2011 against the rebel Kachin Independence Army (KIA), leading to a humanitarian crisis affecting tens of thousands of
civilians, against whom the Burmese army is committing serious abuses. Military operations by both sides have continued despite a presidential request that the army cease attacks against the KIA and only fire in self-defense. Over the last six months of 2011, Human Rights Watch travelled twice to areas in Kachin State, visiting nine camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs), and to areas in China's Yunnan province where refugees have fled. This report draws on more than 100 interviews conducted during those visits with displaced persons, refugees, and victims of abuses, as well as KIA representatives, Burmese army deserters, and humanitarian aid workers. We have continued monitoring events on the ground and have conducted follow-up research through March 2012.
Kachin civilians described to Human Rights Watch how Burmese army soldiers have attacked Kachin villages, razed homes, pillaged properties, and forced the displacement of tens of thousands of people. Troops have deliberately and indiscriminately fired on Kachin civilians with small arms and mortars. According to one 40-year-old Kachin woman, for
example, soldiers on November 10, 2011, "shot mortars into our village three times.… So we fled." A Burmese army
deserter described how his battalion deliberately shelled Dingga village with 81 mm mortars so that inhabitants would
run away. "It was intended that way," he said.

All eyes are on Irwin Allen as he gives direction to the cast ... except for Guy Williams, who apparently wishes to be anywhere in space but here.
And therefore it was the hands-on Irwin Allen who had to deal with Guy Williams' growing discontent. As the leader of the Robinson expedition, father of the family, and top-billed star of the series, Williams was also aware of the unhappiness felt by Lockhart, Goddard and Kristen.
Mark Goddard told interviewer Tom Weaver, "With Lost in Space, there was tension all the time. There was tension with the cinematographer, there was tension with the writers coming down, there was always something going on. Tension with the actors; tension with the directors. Always tension. And, you know what they say, 'The fish stinks from the head.' This isn't fair to say because Irwin is dead and he can't defend himself, but I think that his kind of perfection, what he wanted and the way he wanted it – his very cold manner with everyone – this permeated right from him to the writers, to the directors, to the cast, to the crew. You could sense that.
Marta Kristen said, "June and Guy were always sort of battling Irwin for one reason or another. And I would go to Irwin and say, 'You have to do more for me.' And he would promise me that he would. And Mark would always tease me, saying that before I went to speak to Irwin, all I'd have would be a scene with Judy coming out of the spaceship and saying, 'Will? Will?!' And the week after I'd talk to Irwin, Judy would come out of the spaceship and say, 'Will? Penny? Will?! Penny?!' And that was it! It became a formula, and there was nothing I could do.

What's it like to fly during a pandemic? We compared 4 different US airlines
Summer Hull, Laura Motta and Stella Shon
We can probably agree that no two airlines are exactly equal.
Sure, domestic airlines are similar in many respects but there are crucial differences, even during normal times. You might, for example, trade legroom and the ability to select a seat in advance for a $29 fare on a low-cost carrier. Or splurge for a full-service airline that lets you bring a bag for free and offers more generous recline.
But during a pandemic, the differences between how seriously airlines take health and hygiene likely matters more than whether you got a free soda at 36,000 feet.
Recently, three TPG staffers flew for various reasons on flights operated by four different U.S. carriers. We compared the experiences and found that, while each airline has similar written policies promising to keep passengers safe during the coronavirus crisis, how things work in the real world can vary.
Here's what it was like to fly in the U.S. right now across Spirit, United, Delta and American.
The details: Morning flight from Houston (IAH) to Orlando (MCO)
Spirit's official stated coronavirus precautions
At this time, Spirit is requiring all passengers and staff members to wear "appropriate face coverings," except for children under 2. Masks can be purchased for $3 if you need one. The airline also says it's using hospital-grade disinfectants that focus on high-touch areas such as handles, seatbelt buckles, tray tables, and armrests, and added additional cleaning between flights.
Additionally, Spirit says it's fogging its aircraft with two different treatments (though it doesn't say how often). Guests are encouraged to self bag-tag and self bag-drop when possible, and the airline states there are "social distancing indicators" at the check-in counters. At the airport, Spirit promises to use EPA-registered disinfectants at the gate and check-in areas and is allowing guests to scan their boarding passes.

What it's really like to fly Spirit right now
Seat selection: Spirit Airlines does not allow free advance seat selection. Not pre-pandemic, not mid-pandemic, not post-pandemic. Ancillary charges, like seat selections, are a significant part of Spirit's revenue, so that's not going to change even while passengers are trying to stay a safe distance from each other.
Related: How to tell if your next flight is going to be full
The seat map appeared to be very wide-open in the days leading up to the flight, but unfortunately, that's not a great gauge for how empty the flight will be since most passengers on Spirit don't pay for seat assignments in advance. That's why we decided to book Big Front Seats in row one to maximize space. Ultimately, it was a winning strategy. The aircraft was ultimately very full. Spirit does not promise to block middle seats, though said it will when possible.
At the gate: At the Houston airport, things started off fine in the gate area as we had our own corner to ourselves. But our flight was delayed over two hours for routine maintenance that went slower than expected (staff says the holdup was due to COVID-19).
(Photo by Summer Hull/The Points Guy)
This led to the gate area filling up with more flights than intended departing at similar times. We also couldn't leave the gate area as we were told the maintenance could be completed at any moment.
Boarding: As always, Spirit boarded its plane by zones. While the boarding line was probably more spaced out, it was still a closer squeeze than we were comfortable with, so we hung back and were basically the last two passengers on board even though we were in the first boarding group by virtue of having paid for a carry-on bag and the Big Front Seats.
I did not see many social distancing queues during the boarding process.
Related: How to buy a second seat on your next flight
As some of the last on board, it wasn't too hard to stow our bags and clean our seats with Lysol wipes before sitting down without blocking the aisle.
Cleanliness: While I regret not getting a photo of the wipe after it was used, it was a little brown and discolored after scrubbing the seat, seatbelt, window and other high-touch surfaces. While that doesn't mean the seat was contaminated, or that it wasn't cleaned between flights, it was noticeable that the wipe picked up some dirt — if nothing else.
In-flight experience: Spirit traditionally doesn't have any complimentary services during the flight, and that's still true during a pandemic. They did not hand out sanitizing wipes or packages for guests. The passengers within my view all had on masks of some sort, and the passengers immediately seated around us also mostly wore face shields in addition to masks. The flight attendants had masks with the yellow Spirit plane logo.

Deplaning: This was the worst part. Deplaning, as far as I could tell, was the same as always, which is to say that everyone stands up at once to get their bags and get off the plane. It was without a doubt the least socially distanced 60 seconds of our entire trip — and that includes our time at Disney World. Lucky for us, we were in the first row, so we were off as quickly as possible. I don't know if the situation changed after, but there was no social distancing happening at the front of the plane when it was time to say goodbye to the flight as fast as we could.

The details: Midday flight from Orlando (MCO) to Houston (IAH)
United's official stated coronavirus precautions
United Airlines is not one of the airlines guaranteeing blocked middle seats, though it will attempt to notify passengers when the aircraft is booked beyond 70% capacity. It will then allow those customers to change to a different flight. United states that it does "use electrostatic spraying on all aircraft before departure for enhanced cabin sanitation" and has a partnership with Clorox and provides a cleaning wipe to passengers boarding the aircraft.
The airline has announced a new back-to-front boarding process and deplaning down by rows, instead of all at once.
United has also announced an "all-in-one" snack bag that includes a wrapped sanitizer wipe, 8.5-ounce bottled water, stroopwafel and package of pretzels provided to all customers on flights of two hours and 20 minutes or longer.
What it's really like to fly United right now
Seat selection: I have mid-tier Gold elite status with United, which meant I could select up to two roomier extra legroom seats at the time of booking for no additional fee, which I did at the front of the premium economy section. I kept an eye on the seat map and it was clear the flight was likely going to be very empty.
In fact, a day or so before the flight, we were upgraded to first class, which is pretty rare as a mid-tier elite flying to a United hub. When it turned out that first class was booked 100% full, however, we declined our upgrades and took seats in the standard economy cabin where there were rows and rows of empty seats.

At the gate: The Orlando airport was remarkably, noticeably empty on this late Sunday morning in mid-July.

The gate area was no exception, as it was the only flight departing an area designed for four or five different gates. Not only that, but our flight was relatively empty, so I'd guess there were no more than 40 to 50 people in a section of the airport built for hundreds.
Boarding: United relied on its normal preboarding procedures of families with kids 2 and under, Global Services, those needing extra time, etc., then called first class and then, after that, boarded from the back to the front. By the time first class boarded, about 80% of the those in the gate area were gone.
Because the flight was so empty, it was easy to keep your distance during boarding from what I could see from the gate area. We boarded last and took empty rows 24 and 25, with the permission of the gate agent and flight attendants, instead of our assigned first-class seats in that full cabin.

During boarding, each passenger was given a prepackaged sanitizing wipe to use as they entered the plane.
Cleanliness: When cleaning our seats with Lysol wipes, no visible dirt came off and the seats appeared very clean on visual inspection. You can just about see the seats shining in the picture.
In-flight experience: While our flight was very empty, know that United is not blocking middle seats or capping capacity on its flights. If your flight is booked at more than 70% capacity, however, you should be notified and given the option to change flights.
During the two-hour midday flight in economy, we were given an "all-in-one snack bag".

This included a water bottle, alcohol wipe, pretzels and Biscoff cookies. While a cart was never pushed down the aisle as far as I could tell, the flight attendants did come by to ask if we would like anything additional to drink. Flight attendants wore face masks at all the times they were visible to us, as did the other passengers.
Deplaning: Unlike with Spirit, when it was time to deplane, United called for passengers to remain seated until their rows were called to deplane in sections of just a few rows at a time. While there were still moments when people were gathering their belongings all at the same time, this was minimized by not having the whole plane do so at once. Since no one was around our rows, we didn't have any spacing problems getting our luggage and exiting the aircraft.

Here's how Delta is working to prevent COVID transmission:
Providing hand sanitizer in its customer service areas, including ticket counters, gates and SkyClubs
Providing wipes to its customer service agents so they can continually wipe down surfaces
Sanitizing SkyClubs every night using hospital-grade disinfectants. Food stations are regularly sanitized and shared serving utensils are changed frequently.
Using an electrostatic fogging procedure to sanitize all aircraft on long-haul routes; this will eventually be rolled out to short-haul routes
Wiping down all aircraft surfaces overnight with disinfectant
Using HEPA filters to clean cabin air every few minutes in flight, sanitize air brought in from outside the aircraft and trap microscopic particles — including viruses
Authorizing flight attendants to hold flights to allow for better cleaning
Requiring all passengers to wear masks in flight, and staff to wear them in flight and on the ground; a medical exception for passengers requires a note from the airline's doctors
Blocking middle seats and capping capacity (50% in First Class; 60% in Main Cabin, Comfort+, and Premium Select; 75% in Delta One in aircraft with two aisles)
Related: How Delta is cleaning planes between every flight
Seat selection: Delta is currently flying the A220-100 and the Boeing 717-200 on this route, and I specifically chose a flight that was utilizing the former. It's newer, for one thing, and it's more spacious.
I opted for a Comfort+ window seat on the right side of the aircraft. I currently have Gold status, and Comfort+ is my standard choice on Delta anyway, whether I'm purchasing it or getting upgraded into it. But the additional space felt like a worthwhile precaution at this moment, when close contact feels risky.
The A220-100 has a 2×3 configuration. I had originally been booked on the left side of the plane where there are two seats — and in pre-COVID times, this would always be my choice. After all, having one neighbor is better than having two, right? Well, yes, unless there's a global pandemic. While Delta is blocking some aisle seats in rows with two seats, it's unclear when you book which seats those will be. Knowing this, I switched my seat to the right side of the plane on the window. Per Delta's policy, this guaranteed that I would be next to an open seat. Additionally, the window seat helps minimize contact with anyone who's moving through the aisle — though a window seat is my preference anyway.
The best part? After I boarded the aircraft and settled in, the aisle seat in my row remained empty, so I flew solo with two empty seats to my left. Now that's a lucky perk, global pandemic or not.
Related: Why the window seat is the best seat on the plane
At the gate: Our aircraft boarded back-to-front, with no special seating announcement for elites. It's not clear whether this has a significant safety impact, but it certainly made boarding faster. (So does having a bunch of empty seats, it turns out.) Strangely, this was preferable to the drawn-out boarding process that usually accompanies flights — and I have elite status. Bright yellow stickers on the floor guided guests to maintain distance in the boarding line, but no one seemed especially eager to crowd the gate.
Cleanliness: Delta isn't just committed to keeping its aircraft clean. It's also committed to telling you all about it. A new in-flight safety video details how often planes are cleaned and the pilot on our fight referenced the plane's newness and spotlessness and reiterated that "Honestly, this aircraft is probably cleaner than your house."
He was right. I was reassured for my safety and embarrassed for my house. Before these cleaning procedures, it wasn't uncommon to be greeted at your seat by a suspiciously sticky seat-back video display, or the sad remnants of a stranger's Biscoff ground into the carpet at your feet. You'll see none of that now, thanks to Delta's meticulous cleaning regime. That suspicious crumminess in the creases of seats and between the floor and the walls? Gone. I swabbed down all of my seat's surfaces with a disinfectant wipe and it came away clean. Delta provided an individually packaged Purell wipe at boarding.
In-flight experience: I was surprised that the flight crew seemed so… happy. (Maybe because it hadn't occurred to me that anyone, in this particular moment in American history, could be happy.) And as the cabin manager mentioned during the safety announcement, "We're all smiling under our masks."
All service, whether in the Sky Club at JFK Terminal 4 or in the air, was exceptionally welcoming. The flight attendant even came up to me as I was getting settled, thanked me by name for choosing Delta and mentioned how long it's been since I last flew. It was hugely impressive, and a good way to start the flight.
Flight attendants are masked and wear gloves, and cabin service has been somewhat modified to favor prepackaged cold food. I was given a plastic bag containing a small bottle of water, Cheez-Its, a Biscoff cookie, a napkin and a single portion of Purell hand sanitizer. All of this felt different, but not like a dramatic downgrade from typical service.

The most abnormal experience was drinking a beer during cabin service, which meant it was necessary to temporarily remove my mask. I was wearing a paper mask that was easy to put on and remove between sips — something I'd recommend if you don't want to sit fully maskless while you work your way through your beverage.
Deplaning: I'm not sure I've ever seen passengers move to get off a jet so fast. There was no dallying in the aisles, no awkward confusion over who should go first. Everyone just bolted. While the airlines are doing what they can to help people feel safe flying, anxiety among fliers — on my flight, anyway — still seems to be running high.
The details: Morning flight from Charlotte (CLT) to Chicago-O'Hare (ORD)
The flight discussed was one out of four flight segments I took that weekend. I had a layover in Chicago before heading to my final destination, Albuquerque (ABQ).

American's official stated coronavirus procedures
American Airlines' response to coronavirus has resulted in many positive changes, such as improved cleaning and flexible ticketing procedures. The airline uses electrostatic spraying with an EPA-approved disinfectant that claims to kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria up to seven days. Also, they are deep cleaning high-touch surface areas, have installed plexiglass shields at check-in counters and more.
But unfortunately, some things haven't changed — even amid the pandemic. American isn't blocking middle seats or limiting their flight capacity. However, the airline is notifying customers if their flights are full and are offering them to move to more open flights, subject to availability.
This happened to me three days before takeoff, and I received an option to change my flight. I was given only one new option that flew almost eight hours later than originally planned. I declined the offer.
About 24 hours before my flight, I received another notification on my AA app asking if I would be willing to switch flights for a travel voucher. Again, I could not take the later option. But this made me wary of how full this flight was going to be.
What it's really like to fly American right now
Holiday weekends – with Independence Day in particular – historically bring in millions of people at airports. Last year, 12 million passengers flew over the Fourth of July weekend. While demand has dropped significantly since the pandemic, this year felt almost as busy. My flight was on the morning of July 3rd out of CLT, one of American's hubs.
Check-in and security: We arrived at the airport approximately one hour before takeoff, and it was already chaotic. Some people weren't wearing masks, even though they're required as soon as you step into an airport. Or even better, many people were wearing them incorrectly, with their noses or mouths completely exposed.
My friend had to check her bag, so we were directed to a self-service kiosk. Although AA's website claims an enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of kiosks, this was virtually impossible in practice. As soon as one kiosk was empty, another passenger immediately used it after. This is where bringing in our cleaning supplies came in handy — we used wipes and hand sanitizer after every touchpoint.
The main TSA line became so long that agents redirected us to a new line. Maybe it's because I haven't been in a crowd in months, but security felt extremely busy. Most people were only giving each other less than a foot of space in line for security.
Seat selection: As I was flying basic economy, I could not select my seat in advance. Luckily, my friend and I were assigned to aisle seats in the same row. Since the flight was full, I was elbow-to-elbow with another passenger in the middle seat.
At the gate: We arrived at the gate approximately 15 minutes before boarding began and the area was packed with people anxiously ready to board. Since CLT is a smaller airport, it was difficult to find room to social distance from others. It didn't help that nearby gates were also boarding passengers at the same time.
Boarding: Over the intercom, the gate agent let everyone know it was a full flight. There were no changes to the boarding process pre-pandemic. While most airlines are boarding the aircraft back-to-front now, American went along with its group boarding procedure. We were in Group 9 of 9. In this scenario, I did not mind boarding last.
Despite the floor markers attempting to place people six feet apart, the boarding process seemed unorganized. As a result, no social distancing took place.
During boarding, we were not offered any hand sanitizer, wipes or even snacks and drinks. A press release on June 26 stated that "customers on many flights receive sanitizing wipes or gel, and American has limited food and beverage delivery to reduce interactions between flight attendants and customers." Out of the four flight segments I took that weekend, I was only given an amenity kit once — on my flight from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) back to CLT.
In-flight experience: As American has severely reduced its in-flight service and amenities, there was nothing to note here. The airline recommends purchasing your own snacks and drinks ahead of time.
American stated that on flights over 900 miles, customers will receive complimentary pretzels or Biscoff cookies and bottled water during boarding. Again, I received this bag while boarding my flight from DFW-CLT, which was a little over 900 miles. But it made me wonder why I didn't receive anything on my longest flight segment from ORD-ABQ, which was over 1100 miles.
Although a small gesture, I still appreciated receiving the small bag of pretzels, a mini bottle of water and a packet of hand sanitizer. Still, I was never offered any disinfecting wipes.
Finally, while most airlines have gotten rid of in-flight magazines and brochures, American still had them in the back of seat pockets.
Deplaning: The deplaning process also felt normal, as people immediately rose from their seats as soon as the seatbelt sign was turned off. Hardly any social distancing was practiced here, as no cues for deplaning were given.
Your experience flying today will depend on your chosen airline, the airport and your fellow passengers. No two experiences will likely be the same — even when flying with the same airline. The best advice we can give is to head to the airport prepared with disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer and snacks to keep you fortified throughout your journey.

Citroen's promises "le voyage in e-comfort"
Citroen, the French automaker, has given us some classic designs over its century in business.
Think of the sleek and imposing Traction-Avant of the interwar years, the sporty SM of the 1970s, and the bug-like 2CV that captivates children and adults alike whenever we see one pootling along the road.
With a track record like that, their latest concept car releases are possibly a little less… iconic. Let's take a closer look at one of them — the Citroen 19_19 Concept.
Citroen promises the 19_19 will be "le voyage in e-comfort".
While the 30-inch tyres don't immediately scream "this ride is going to be comfortable", Citroen says the comfort is provided by an innovation — a fully glazed, suspended cabin which sits on a modified version of Citroen's Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension system. It's so smooth Citroen has promoted the 19_19 as "a living room on wheels". (Which might also explain the safety-defying passenger seat, which is quite literally a chaise longue like you'd see in a posh city apartment, and the marble magazine rack. No, really: it has a marble magazine rack.)
But are we really interested in comfort? No-one who sees a Lamborghini Gallardo zipping past them on the freeway thinks "yeah, but those seats have absolutely no lumbar support". We want something beautiful — and powerful.
How does the 19_19 stack up?
Well, unlike the Traction-Avant and the SM, the 19_19 doesn't really have the most drool-worthy appearance. Apparently, the design is based, in part, on an egg and on a long-defunct Citroen-made helicopter.
Let's get to the power.
The 19_19 is powered by an all-electric drivetrain, and Citroen says it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in five seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h. Driven by 100 kWh batteries, the 4WD drivetrain comprises two motors (one at the front, one at the rear) and develops torque of 800 Nm and power of 340 kW. Citroen says the vehicle has a range of 800 km — which would make this ugly duckling more practical for long distance travel than many electric vehicles.
Compare that to the Tesla Model 3, currently available. Tesla says the Model 3 hits 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, has a top speed of 261 km/h and has an estimated range of 657 km. The big difference, really, is that the Tesla might just be a more practical option for a family trip to Coles than a car with a chaise longue.
OK, so we're giving the 19_19 a well-mannered hard time because of its over-the-top design. Obviously, it's important for car manufacturers, like Citroen, to have the space to be creative and try new things with concept cars. And no-one really expects to see the 19_19 — complete with chaise longue and marble magazine rack — sweeping around the Great Ocean Road in the near future. Concept cars are the place for manufacturers to try out all their kooky ideas.
But another Citroen concept car, the Ami, is on its way. It's a reprise of an old Citroen name, but it's being marketed as the heir to the 2CV. When the Ami concept was launched in 2019, it looked a bit like a particularly robust vacuum cleaner — especially with the charge cord hanging out of it. Yet it received rave reviews. Now that car (technically a quadricycle) is about to hit the streets of Paris and… it still looks like a vacuum cleaner. So, sometimes, taking a risk pays off — and the public falls in love with a kooky concept.

Macke
Copertina rigida, 21 x 26 cm, 0.59 kg, 96 pagine15
Francese Inglese Tedesco
August Macke is today considered a lead figure in Weimar-era art and a pioneer of Expressionist painting. With his color-led interpretations of beauty, Macke combined facets of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Fauvism into a style at once kaleidoscopic and uniquely his own. From cheerful scenes of parks to his final major work Farewell, discover the life of "Mister Color."
About Color
August Macke's vivid shades still resonate a century after his death
August Macke (1887–1914) quickly ascended to notoriety, only to be killed at the tender age of 27 at the start of World War I. Despite his brief career, the artist left a remarkable oeuvre in his wake, his obsessions with color reflecting aspects of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Expressionism.
Through his engagement with these diverse schools of art, Macke assimilated disparate influences and approaches into a style entirely his own. Grouped with the Blaue Reiter movement, but eschewing the mysticism that often pervaded the works of its artists, Macke returned time and again to color-led interpretations of beauty, whether the kaleidoscopic watercolor Bright Women in front of the Hat Shop (1913), or the shimmering hues of Lady in a Green Jacket (1913). These colors reached their zenith in 1914 when Macke traveled with Klee and Moilliet to Tunis and became acquainted with North African light.
With leading examples from his vivid painterly world, this book introduces us to Macke's short but influential career as a pioneering Expressionist. From cheerful scenes of parks, zoos, and promenades to his final major work, ominously titled Farewell (1914), we explore a remarkable talent for visual impact and an intense pursuit of the emotional possibilities of color.

Q1 2016 Manhattan Sales Market Report
Trends from last quarter:
The average sales price topped $2 million, marking a new all-time high. The average Manhattan apartment sold for more than $2 million for the first time, reaching $2.089M. This is up 8% from last quarter and 15% from last year.
Meanwhile, sales volume was down while available inventory rose. Manhattan's overall closed sales figure in the first quarter decreased 5% year-over-year, and signed contracts dropped 11% from First Quarter 2015. Meanwhile, inventory increased 8% year-over-year due to a jump in resale condo listings.
New development sales remained strong. Manhattan new development sales increased 42% year-over-year, continuing the year-long trend of double digit annual percentage increases. The figure was down 15% from Fourth Quarter 2015, however, which had several large developments in closings.

Q1 and March 2016 Manhattan Rental Market Report
April 8, 2016 · by Adam Ashkenas
Q1 2016 Facts:
When compared to the last quarter of 2015, market conditions have remained generally stable. Average rents for all apartment sizes were relatively unchanged, while the borough's vacancy rate declined, reflecting an uptick in demand for rental housing.
The lower quarterly vacancy rate is largely the result of an increase in landlord concessions. Throughout the first quarter, 21% of transactions brokered by Citi Habitats included some form of move-in incentive, compared to 12% during both the previous quarter and a year ago (in Q1 2015).
In fact, a larger percentage of leases included an incentive during the first quarter of 2016 than in any quarter in more than 5 years. The last time they were as prevalent was during the third quarter of 2010, when they were included in 22% of new leases.
When comparing the first quarter of 2016 with the quarter that preceded it, rents changed minimally. Pricing for studios rose 0.2%, while the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment increased 0.7%. In contrast, rents for two- and three-bedroom homes fell 0.3% and 0.4% respectively
When examining vacancy rates across Manhattan, we found 1.77% of apartments to be available during the first quarter of 2016, down from 1.96% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
March 2016 Facts:
Rental pricing in March 2016 remained largely unchanged from February
Meanwhile the Manhattan vacancy rate increased slightly to 1.79% from February's rate of 1.74%.
In addition, we found that 20% of leases signed with our company included an incentive during March.
While down from 25% a month earlier, this percentage is still considerably higher when making a year-over-year comparison. As was the case in Q1 and Q4 2015, 12% of Citi Habitats' rental transactions included a concession in March 2015.

'That' jumper
hollseey / January 10, 2018
The last couple of days has seen an image of a jumper from H&M go viral. I thought I'd ask people's opinions on Twitter to see what everyone was thinking, and one thing has become increasingly apparent.
Everybody has an opinion, but a lot of people forget that until you've been in a situation, or you're the one offended, we don't have the right to state whether or not something is offensive. As a white female who has rarely had a racist remark made about me, I don't know anything about the word used, or how it would make somebody feel. But I can imagine that if you had previously been called that word in a negative or abusive way, seeing it on a child in a jumper would be nothing short of sickening.
Working in marketing, I'm amazed that the image was allowed to slip through the net. I doubt it was done on purpose, as a multinational company such as H&M would surely be aware of the implications of doing something that awful, however it clearly has somehow happened. Hundreds of people would have seen the image, from the set directors, to the shoot's wardrobe team, the parents of the kids, the photographer, the design team, editing team, managers and website team. It's unbelievable that nobody stepped in and said it shouldn't be used.
However, as somebody who is privileged enough to have been brought up not even seeing race as a thing, I can see how you could pop a seemingly harmless jumper on a child model without giving it a second thought. At first I thought it was crazy that a kid's jumper was causing so much controversy, but then thinking about the the connotations and what it actually means to people, I can understand.
I said something on Twitter which seems to have been taken the wrong way by some. Working in early years' childcare for six years, 'cheeky monkey' was a phrase which children used, parents used, and we also sometimes used. We even had a board game called Cheeky Monkeys and invented our own version in the garden. Obviously this was never in a racist context.
The problem here is the lack of thought which has gone into a photoshoot which most people could foresee causing offence. Unfortunately, there are still racist people in the world, and the damage caused by narrow-minded people being like this will not quickly be forgotten, nor will the pain it has caused.
Either way, the kid is very cute. And I'm sure H&M will be more cautious with their choice of clothing in photoshoots… as will other brands.
