A decade ago, I remember reading about the warnings of stagnation. Great civilisations that last for millennia come to an end when they lose their drive to improve. It is not a foreign invader that destroys them but their own complacence.

Burger King will donate to the Human Rights Campaign for every Ch’King sandwich it sells in the US during the Pride month of June, in a move that appears linked to rival restaurant chain Chick-fil-A whose CEO Dan Cathy is alleged to have made donations to groups opposing LGBTQ+ rights.
