Rarely these days do we see someone stand up and fight back against the corporate narrative, and even more rarely do we see someone do it with flair and competence.
Well sit back and spend a few minutes to watch this Bloomberg interview with Sarah Lacey as she hits back all the talking points with wicked aplomb.

Back story.
Pando daily head Sarah Lacy has been critical of Uber and its attitude towards women and sexism as it relates to its corporate policies and actions.
Recently an Uber executive announced at a dinner party that Uber would take action against her and other journalists with a $1 million fund to go after them through personal attacks, investigations etc and not leave any trace of their involvement.
The scariest thing is that only one journalist at the dinner thought this was worthy enough to criticize. The others evidently were so enthralled with Uber that they thought anything was fair game. If true, and it appears to be, it is a horrendous indictment of current journalism and brutal evidence of the power of the corporate agenda to warp our society for the worse.
Watch Sara Lacy expertly deflect the the arrows and then lay on her own attacks.
VERY impressive.
People! In a world dominated by the corporate agenda, in a world where the corporations and the 1% are winning, in a world where democracy is being hindered at every turn you still have some power, and that is the power to wake up and use your dollar as the democratic currency. Don't support asshole corporations. It is that bloody simple! And convince your friends to do the same. Only when companies feel the power of the consumer they will be forced to modify their behavior (governments and the courts are already owned by them). We still have a little power left.
