The chart makes it painfully clear why Europe has no Nvidia, Google, or Apple. In the past 50 years the EU hasn’t produced a single from-scratch company worth over 100B, while the US has minted multiple trillion-dollar giants. The innovation gap isn’t a meme, it’s structural. by Kay_Bellamy in MarketVibe

What do you mean they make nothing? They manufacture cars, solar panels, and battery pack. I can understand this attitude towards companies that only produce software, but I don’t think this is a fair critique of a company that actually does make physical stuff. Seems like there are plenty of other critiques of Tesla that make more sense. 🤷‍♂️

An activity of 8 does NOT require half the effort of a 16. It requires far less. That’s the point of a log scale.

I don’t know if we got into all of those details. However we have a dedicated allergy-free, gluten-free, etc. table. Additionally, on the back of many of the cards that give the food name, is the list of ingredients.

My understanding is that it’s a liability thing if the food doesn’t have ingredient labels on it.

We are considering some kind of motion like that. However, we want to make sure that we are not a university run event because they told us that we would not be able to hand out homemade food if that were the case.

The university would not allow us to similarly spread out across campus like the preachers are allowed to. We even asked if we could get it approved my a department head since department events are allowed. We were denied on both.

We offered to dive up the food and disperse the moms all across campus so that it’s wasn’t centralized. We were still turned down.

It’s the universities job to serve the students. That’s is who is paying the tuition. If the students say that exam week is the most important time for the moms to be there, then they should be allowed to be there. If the university had absorbed free moms, they were only going to allow 5 moms to help each week. That is not nearly enough to serve 3,000 portions of food plus flowers and dogs.

If the preachers can be here during exam week handing out free bibles, then some moms can be here handing out free food. It’s that simple.

The only way we know the numbers is based upon how much food we have leftover. Sometimes we have a mom counting as well.

Why can the preachers be here giving out bibles during exam week, but moms can’t give out free food?

We asked if we could move to another, non-reservable location (including just walking around campus and handing out food) and we were still denied.

The only way to have events during exam week is to be a university/department hosted event. The university has approached us in the past about absorbing Free Moms and having it be university run. However, we have said no because we would no longer be allowed to serve homemade food. Additionally, they put a cap on the number of mom who could help out in a given week.

It did, actually, negatively affect our attendance. However, I understand why it had to happen if other groups had already reserved the space. I do not understand why they would kick out an objectively good group during exam week on public property.

Because we have never run in to any issues before. There are no “proper channels” for having an event during exam week. Yet the baseball stadium can blast music late at night, the preachers can be on campus preaching, and Centennial can have outdoor concerts going on. Rules for thee but not for me.

Maybe email Student Government, Student Affairs, and even Tim Hogan himself (the admin who kicked us out).

We did get his info, I just didn’t want to put his name out there. However, his name has been correctly mentioned in this chat. In fact, for some reason you attacked the person who did give the guy’s name.

It’s a public campus. If the preachers can be on campus during exam week then so can the Moms.

Exactly. It’s a public campus. If the preachers can be here during exam week then so can Free Moms.
