The milk-round - the cynical perspective
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Reasons to dive in
Management consultancy is the new rock and roll.
Filling out fewer job application forms, thus reducing the times you are forced to use your summer dishwashing job as an example of a "highly challenging situation" in which you "managed to triumph over diversity by motivating a team".
Opportunities to practise phrases like "touching base", "product synergy" and "customer focus" without laughing.
You get as much free yoghurt as you can eat (as long as the milkman's not watching).
What else are you going to do between episodes of Neighbours?
Reasons to avoid
Fast food is the new rock and roll. And collecting gold "customer service" stars is cooler than collecting gold credit cards.
Milk-round presentations are usually held in the afternoon. Who wants to set their alarm that early?
At school, the milk was free and came with a Hob-Nob, not a hidden capitalist agenda.
Pineapple and cheese cubes on sticks.
