...that's the rub here. We buy what we need on a limiting budget to get by in the blinkered understanding that the percentage of what we spend likely goes to those owners who either support those who should be tried before The Hague or should be tried before The Hague themselves. /bleh

This will look really stunning when lit up at night.

oh joy! Amazon/Bezos owned chain Whole Paycheck is opening.. whose co-founder compared Obamacare - expanding health insurance coverage to millions of previously uninsured Americans - to fascism.

This is a good point actually. I forgot that WFM is now owned by Amazon...
I'm conflicted about supporting this company now

Not to get too off track, but individual ethical choices when it comes to retailers are almost meaningless. I almost never buy anything from Amazon, and the last time I checked, it wasn't close to crumbling...

I do think Whole Foods is painfully appropriate for this neighbourhood.

That cladding looks horrible imo, very cold & sterile & confusing to look at

I like the glass cube part, I don't like the grey/silver panels around the windows though.

To be fair though...and at the risk of beleaguering this further, there are some companies, entities even...that I find too repulsive and repugnant to purchase anything from and/or use their services (like Xitter for example). But keep in mind that this a personal thing...I am not under any illusion that I am boycotting them to instigate change. I am just in good conscious no longer able to support it. And for what that is worth.

I will miss the red safety netting - a nice splash of colour.

Noticed these hss supports added over the passageway on the Wellington side, looking forward to seeing the cladding installed there

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

DISAGREED. The cladding looks wonderful and a delight to the eyes...

...if more buildings where like this. <3
