Q Research General #12155: October surprise(s) being prepped and warmed Edition
Just got this email from Dollar Shave club.
I immediately cancelled my subscription.
You'd think they would have learned from Gillette's virtue signalling disaster.
Faggots.
Subject: A message from our CEO
Dollar Shave Club
There's been no shortage of voices in the chorus. After a week of important and raw conversations and reflection here @ DSC, we want to add ours.
First, we unequivocally, loudly and vehemently condemn all forms of racist thought and action, from the deliberate and reprehensible to the unconscious but insidious. To us, there is no distinction.
Second, we are horrified and enraged by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery as well as by the race-driven deaths of countless other black men & women in the United States. And while we are heartened by the scenes of people voicing protest and by the flood of public messages from both individuals and organizations we are equally disheartened that it takes a string of tragedies, on the heels of centuries of injustice, to spur appropriate action on racism in America. We believe what matters is what we do when events like these are not front and center.
Third, we recognize that our record is not perfect. We recognize that choices we make every day in our operations - where & with whom we choose to advertise, who we choose as suppliers or vendors, among others - matter. They are each an opportunity to demonstrate our values, and we haven't always gotten it right. That changes now.
DSC understands its responsibility to take action, and we will be part of the change. The everyday change. The change that no doubt will take time, but that will begin immediately and continue relentlessly.
Here's where we're starting:
- We will be conducting an audit of our relationships with suppliers, vendors and media & advertising partners to ensure that we are not doing business with anyone who falls on the wrong side of this issue.
- We believe in a diverse workforce and will ensure we are all equipped with appropriate strategies to combat racism of any kind in our workplace and beyond. These have always been core values, but we will redouble our efforts - from hiring practices to team training & education to pay equality.
- Action matters and conversation matters, but financial support matters too. Alongside each of our Unilever sister brands, DSC will contribute $100,000 to Black Lives Matter. Additionally, for every dollar that our employees collectively donate to this cause, DSC's leadership team will personally match those dollars, up to $25,000.
Until then, we stand in solidarity with those impacted by systemic racism and violence, and those fighting against it. We hear you, we see you, we are with you.
Michael Dubin, CEO

With the help of a now-iconic viral launch video released in 2012 - "Our Blades Are F**king Great," written and starring Dubin - the innovative subscription business Dollar Shave Club became an overnight and enduring success, culminating in the startup's $1 billion all-cash acquisition by UNILEVER. (Despite the sale, Dubin remains CEO of the company.)

Q Research General #8241: Halfway Through the Week Edition
What's in the cans festooned with dripping golden skulls and the tagline "murder your thirst"? It's 100% non-carbonated mountain water sourced and canned in the Alps. No flavoring but with a slightly alkaline pH of 8.2.
It's the latest venture from former Netflix Creative Director Mike Cessario, a product designed to resonate with "extreme" teetotaling crowds that eschew alcohol and drugs.
On Tuesday, Cessario announced he had raised an additional $1.6 million for his canned-water startup from big names in tech including Dollar Shave Club founder and CEO Michael Dubin, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and Away co-founder Jen Rubio, bringing total funding to $2.25 million.
The announcement follows a growing trend in the U.S. beverage market. Bottled water was the most successful mass market beverage category in 2018, with nearly 14 billion gallons sold.
The playing field has become crowded with buzzwordy options like Bulletproof FATwater ("Sugar-free Ketogenic Brain Octane and B Vitamins") and LIFEWTR ("Premium Purified Water, pH Balanced with Electrolytes For Taste").
This "punk" entry is just the latest, and perhaps the ultimate, example of using toxic masculinity to market a product.
