Here on The Nose today, we're at least potentially talking about high-tech employers who offer egg freezing as a benefit for female employees, a proposal to get rid of high school football, the sinking sensation that it's time - or too late - to fight back against Amazon, and the Florida debate that almost broke down because of a candidate's use of a fan at the podium.
You know, frozen eggs are a nice benefit, unless they constitute a subtle signal to put your life in "park" and give yourself, body and soul, to the company for a while. Maybe they'll eventually offer to freeze everything else - your taste buds, your genitals - anything else, while you give the tech company eight of your most prime, productive years. Then they'll thaw and reanimate the rest of you.
Here's what else we're thinking about for the show:
- One man’s war on digital media’s ‘thinkfluencer’ echo chamber
- Should we get rid of the head of the CDC because of the new Ebola outbreaks?
- Sears removes swastika ring from their marketplace
