As someone who is a Warren person and not a fan of Pete—I think the problem is less that Jez is doing critiques, and more that many of the critiques are way off base, include wrong facts, etc. I have several serious issues with Kamala because of her time as an A.G., but I’ve seen some of those problems be…

My daughter is a Daisy and I can't thank you enough for your work!

They aren’t teaching her that capitalism is the best way or the only way. They are giving her some skills and knowledge to participate in what we have right now. Calling it indoctrination is bullshit. Capitalist survival skills would be far more apt.

On the one hand, sure, corporatization sucks. But also, my daughter’s troop leader owns and manages a salon downtown. And her assistant troop leader is a 20+ year Navy vet. One of the moms is a professor (we’re in a small, college town). Another is a dentist who owns her own practice. Another is a pastor of one of the…

Thank you so much for the work you do.

This program sounds...quite good? I’m so not understanding the critique.

You can pretty much ignore the clickbaiting anti-capitalist nonsense the millenials of Kinja have leaned into hard since they learned it gets people riled up.

The problem isn’t that girls learn about entrepreneurship while selling delicious cookies, it’s that Girl Scouts shouldn’t frame leadership in fluffy corporate terms.

wtf is this take?

Bravo to you and for all the hard work you do on behalf of girls!  

Sounds like an awesome program!!! I get scratchy when people dis the Girl Scouts, because they do such amazing things for girls. I never participated in anything quite that expansive in my days, but I think the bulk of my formative, resilience building childhood experiences were through the Girl Scouts, and I love…

Sorry, what was the bad part about this?

Sounds pretty good to me. We need more financial and business savvy girls and women in the world. Many of them might grow up and start or help run small businesses, it’s not all giant corporations.

Telling girls they can grow up to be successful leaders IS pretty fucked up.

Brownie leader here. I actually really like this shift in the cookie program. In the olden days (waaaay back in the 80s) when I was a wee Girl Scout myself, Cookies were just “go out there and sell those cookies, girls, make that $$!” without any context or skills. The business badges and programs add a component of…

As a former GS and a GS leader for several years when my daughter was of age, I’m not too worried about this for the majority of troops.  Truly, the goal is to do cool things available in the area.  Our troop was near Manhattan, KS and so we did STEM stuff at KSU, went to an astronomy night-time camp at a campground…

hello i have a huge crush on bad bunny, please send help.

Priyanka and Nick remind me of Cece and Schmidt on New Girl. 

Cheated. Sabotaged his sobriety. Emotionally abused him. Cost him work. Mocked Michael Jackson. Gave him a marriage ultimatum. Led him on about getting married. Joined a competing satirical Velvet Underground tribute bound and sniped all the potential Pizza Underground mitzvah and wedding jobs. Greeted him only by…

You’d think that these people would already know how to get in contact with their cousins and wouldn’t need a service for that.
