Generally, I steer clear of political topics, but I could not resist when I figured out this:
If the opposite of “pro” is “con,” then the opposite of “progress” must be “Congress.”
I’m staking a copyright claim on that proclamation. You have permission to share it, but not profit from it.
…and tore down all the gestation pens holding sows. That’s the report according to Bloomberg –
“McDonald’s to Phase Out Pig Crates…” According to the coverage, the fast food giant made a joint announcement with the Humane Society of the U.S. that it would no longer buy pork from producers who used gestation pens (which severely restrict the movements of reproducing sows).
My guess is that the last time you ate a McRib or McMuffin with sausage you didn’t think twice about the welfare of the pig that was responsible for your meal. That’s exactly the point. McDonald’s made its move BEFORE the animal welfare folks occupied booths or slowed their cars in the drive-thru lanes. McD’s went right past re-action to pro-action — even making its announcement in a joint statement with the Humane Society of the U.S. That move pretty well guaranteed that there would be almost no negative press. You might note that the best Bloomberg’s reporters could find was some minor grumbling from a pig farmer. Nice work, McD.
Congratulations to my client, Bill Michels and the team at ADR North America, who have just become part of the highly respected professional association, the Institute for Supply Management. The two organizations have been working together for three years offering professional development courses to companies and individuals, and merging will only enhance the integration of that with ADR’s supply management consulting practice.
Here’s the news release from ISM.

In about 30 minutes yesterday I shot, edited and posted for the world to see a video for Detroit Economic Growth Corporation. The process was somewhat extended because I only had a 3G connection. No wi-fi.
It’s the Red Elk Banks interview on DEGC’s Facebook page:

It wasn’t all that long ago that it would have required two people on the shoot, an editor, a satellite truck and a spot on a network television news show to make that clip available for the world to see. I did it myself on an iPhone. Thanks, Steve.
Two years ago Time Magazine put the city on its cover with the title “Detroit, an American Tragedy,” and since then the Time family of publications has spent a lot of time here (including a year of almost non-stop reporting). All that familiarity has given them a lead in recognizing some of the more interesting stories of revitalization going on in and around Detroit. That’s my theory why Fortune just named Detroit number 14 among this years “100 Great Things About America,” published to coincide with Independence Day. If you are not watching what’s happening in Detroit that closely it may look more like sparks than fireworks, but either way there’s some heat and light here.
Here’s the link to the “100 Great Things” piece:
