I think you meant to comment on OP's post. If you ask me, I'd say he rather belongs in jail. Given the countless serious cases that have been and are being brought against him, it's inexplicable to me that he managed to get around jail time - and is even a presidential candidate instead.

I think the only way to solve this problem for good would be to tie social media accounts to proof of identity. However, apart from what would certainly be a difficult technical implementation, this would create a whole bunch of different problems. The benefits would probably not outweigh the costs.

Well, unfortunately, the internet and especially social media is still the main source of information for more and more people, if not the only one. For many, it is also the only place where public discourse takes place, even if you can hardly call it that. I guess we are probably screwed.

Also, despite the fact that he is a criminal, a racist, a misogynist, denies climate change and pretty much exclusively pursues policies contrary to the interests of ordinary citizens.

At least internationally, the Coke advertising campaigns definitely had a big impact. In Germany, for example, there was the "Christkind", who was usually depicted as a little girl bringing presents to children. Today, the "Christkind" has largely been replaced by the Coke Santa Claus, although this character also resembles St. Nicholas, who is often depicted with a white beard and a (red) bishop's outfit.

Dunno about the presents, but that old white man character was popularized by coca cola in the 1930s.

Cheese was also quite important for military campaigns and the like because it is nutritious and has a long shelf life, which is at least documented for the time of the ancient Romans. So the person who dared to try it first is indeed a historically significant figure - but in my eyes more of a culinary mastermind.

Maybe the downvote counter maxed out and that's the way it is displayed.

It's what AI makes of her, I guess.

That bothers me far less than seeing a single Trump tbh.

That's right, it's certainly not a good idea to leave the head of department out of the loop - this position should definitely be informed about every relevant process. I just think that it's in everyone's interest if senior management can be seen by the "common people" from time to time. It shows appreciation for the work and opinions of all employees and is also a good opportunity to make sure that no important aspects or overly technical details may have been lost on the way from the head of department to the executive floor. Just as you say.

For me, a random sales guy took the cake when he introduced himself as "Chief Innovation Evangelist".
