Johnson & Johnson is signing off on a new logo, more than 130 years after creating the old one. The health care giant said Thursday that it will replace the well-known signature script with a modern look that reflects its sharpened focus on pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The original script dates to the 1880s and was based on the signature of a company co-founder. (Snip) Many children no longer learn to write cursive in school, noted marketing consultant Laura Ries.People may recognize the signature, but they weren’t necessarily reading it, she said.

Comments:

Absolutely pathetic if the real reason for the change is that people can not read a signature.

The pathetic uneducated masses can no longer read normal script writing....let alone DO IT. Printing is far slower than cursive or script writing, like for taking notes or writing something down. We do not always have a computer to type on, and paper and pen are still major factors in life.

It was successful for almost a century and a half.If it isn't broke why fix it? Change for change sake? Some exec justifying their job or some high paid consultant's recommendation? It's one reason I took early retirement

Hard to beat their classic logo. Yoots may not be able to write in script; but the simple script used in that logo was easily readable (or at least instantly recognizable). The change seems to me like a pretty dumbass move. #2 notwithstanding, people who print everything can write that way at a comparable clip. I'd wager printing can be read more quickly, though.

My grandson is a junior in high school. The year he was supposed to learn cursive in elementary, they removed it from our local schools. Lots complained. But a few years ago they put it back. And in elementary took away all work to be done on computer and going back to using some books. My grandson can sign his name and read most cursive but he is an all A student. I used to have to research old deeds in the courthouses of our area. None of these students could go back as far as you usually have to because those really old deeds are written in cursive! Our schools are always rated among the best in our state. I bet our test scores went down a bit in the last 2 years when they had to do computer only work!

Children are not taught cursive, but they are taught about anal sex. I've long believed that cursive ceased being taught so that future generations cannot read our founding documents.

All lower case and wrong kerning around the &, but go for it. Somehow anyone over 40+ has become a secret agent. We can pass messages just by writing them and we can have secure vehicles just by making sure they have a manual transmission. We can transfer money mysteriously by writing a check. Oh, and we can set up private meetings by using an analog clock. Our Department of Education has hobbled generations. It is pathetic.

Growing costs of migrant care tied to

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Wednesday that the city of Chicago is facing a projected $538 million budget deficit for 2024 – a financial burden his administration blamed in part on the growing cost of caring for migrants. (Snip) One invoice from the now-closed shelter at Truman College shows a facility manager made $14,000 in one week last December. Another invoice shows a nurse earned $20,000 during a week in December. That same week – that shelter manager’s invoice billed for more than $14,000. All those employees’ figures included the employees being paid for overtime. The hourly rate for the registered nurse was $195 an hour. The facility manager earned $135 an hour.
AOC’s constituents slam her claim inflation

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might want her followers to believe inflation is “propaganda” — but her constituents aren’t buying it. The firebrand Democratic congresswoman used her Instagram stories to share a video from New Zealand’s left-wing Aotearoa Liberation League in which an activist claimed the “propaganda” surrounding inflation was designed to protect “greedy shareholders,” who are truly to blame for the rising cost of living. But when The Post visited Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents in the 14th district, which comprises areas in both Queens and in the southeastern part of the Bronx, all of them reported economic pain and many said the Biden administration should not be left off the hook.

Chicago - Nearly 1,600 migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. will be relocated from Chicago police stations to winterized camps with massive tents under a plan by Mayor Brandon Johnson, according to a report released Thursday. The relocations will occur “before the weather begins to shift and change,” Johnson said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. The tents could hold up to 1,000 migrants, he said, and the camps would provide meals and recreational and educational programming.

The city announced Tuesday it was partnering with the Alliance for Human Services, Family Focus, Moraine Township, and the Highland Park Community Foundation to host "a poverty simulation event to increase residents' understanding and awareness of what it is like to live in poverty in Lake County." The event, set for Saturday at the Highland Park Country Club, will give participants an "immersive experience" aimed at showing them what a month in poverty feels like, according to the city's posting.

Full marks to the un-named Southampton head teacher who’s had the sense to point out what so many must be thinking: that white working-class teenagers should not be forced to learn about “white privilege”.

When I look at my pupils I don’t see white privilege.” (Snip) a Department for Education survey in 2022, which revealed that poor white teenagers were the ethnic group least likely to study at top universities.

Green energy and the push to electrify everything have been in the news recently but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of the green energy nirvana politicians and green energy advocates have promised, economic and physical reality has begun to set in. Start with the economic realities. Wind turbine manufacturers like Siemens and General Electric have reported huge losses for the first half of this year, almost $5 billion for the former and $1 billion for the latter. Among other problems, turbine quality control has suffered, forcing manufacturers such as Siemens and Vestas to incur costly warranty repairs. In Europe, offshore wind output has been less than promised

Pence appeared at a town hall with Leland Vittert on NewsNation Wednesday and was asked about his much-talked-about deal the Republican struck with his wife Karen to never dine alone with another woman. Vittert then asked if that same rule would apply with a woman vice president - as presidents and vice presidents often have official lunches as part of their schedule.

Every book published prior to 2008 has been removed from a public high school library in Canada to ensure that kids are not exposed to non-inclusivity. Yes, you read that correctly. Imagine the surprise of students at Erindale Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario, when they entered the school's library last spring to discover...empty shelves. Staff told them, "If the shelves look emptier right now it's because we have to remove all books [published] prior to 2008." Why? Because "The Peel District School Board works to ensure that the books available in our school libraries are culturally responsive, relevant, inclusive,

A distressing new crime trend known as 'flash rob mobs' is on the rise and likely to cost California a whopping $19billion a year, guidance from the LAPD warns. The incidents have become increasingly frequent in soft-on-crime California, where detectives in the state's largest police force are now assembling designated teams to tackle the problem. The groups have been pillaging stores including Nordstrom and Versace. In response to the recent spate, officials at the Los Angeles Police Department have formed a taskforce, named the the Organized Retail Crime Taskforce (ORCT).

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) is looking into opening taxpayer-funded, city-owned grocery stores in areas in which businesses have pulled out due to rampant crime. Johnson announced a partnership with the Economic Security Project to look into the possibility of opening city-owned grocery stores. The first step in the partnership will be to perform a feasibility study, but the city did not provide a timeline, the Chicago Tribune reported. Johnson claimed his administration is “committed to advancing innovative, whole-of-government approaches to address these inequities.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that '80 is the new 40' when asked during Friday's briefing about how President Joe Biden, 80, plans to address concerns about his advanced age as he runs for reelection. A late August AP-NORC poll found that 77 percent of Americans believe Biden is too old to be effective for four more years - with 69 percent of Democrats agreeing. A Wall Street Journal poll from earlier this month had similar findings, with 73 percent of voters saying Biden is too old to run again, including two-thirds of Democrats.

Wednesday's Cabinet meeting was most interesting. After a minute of introduction, President Biden turned the meeting over to his wife Jill, who continued to run it. This allows us a glimpse into the Democrat presidential strategy for 2024: run Jill Biden. In order for Jill to win the Democrat nomination for president, she needs to do several important things: 1. Box out Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, and Gavin Newsom. 2. Maintain DNC support for Joe. 3. Keep Democrat contributors in line. 4. Do more and more of the president's job now.
