Who came up with the ad campaign for PWC? This stuff is the worst possible consultant-speak and seems like a Hail Mary attempt at relevance. Where #McKinsey goes, PwC may follow.

@athenaaktipis.bsky.social gets a lot right in "A Field Guide to the Apocalypse." This quote hits home after countless problems dealing with our (well-rated) insurer. Strongly recommend the book, which I picked up on a whim @harvardbookstore.bsky.social

In the long run, this is actually going to be the important news of the day--co2 in the atmosphere passes another grim milestone

Important note about this breakthrough:
