Of course she wants to be nice to the employees and her land renters, so they can go out like you did and give her good PR. Obviously if she treats both the aforementioned like shit they'll go out and say it and she'll lose business. What I find most ironic there is that you people are praising her for this behavior, yet condemning the real life corporations for doing the same thing but on a larger scale. Anshe donates a sim to her community, a real life corporation donates money to a charity. Both are for positive PR more than basic human kindness. Anshe is the same as the corporations, except smaller. She's even got a real life company: Anshe Chung Studios. Business is not about being nice, it's about squeezing as much profit as you can out of something, because of anti-trust laws and the benefits of good PR, this widely entails with being nice by happenstance. But NEVER mistake that for human kindness, it's simply the most prudent action to get the most profit. But when it's NOT the most prudent action, when it comes down to actual business, you see from both Anshe and real life corporations, the value of lying, stealing, blackmailing, and anything it takes, unethical or not, to get what you want. The end goal no matter what is money and getting the most you possibly can, ethics and kindness have absolutely zero to do with besides a means to an end. So praise her as a saint and condemn the other corporations for doing the same thing as her but on a wider scale? That's true ignorance.

I have worked with Anshe Chung for 15 months and have found her to be the most generous and one of the most caring individual on-line. She is a bright and driven entrepreneur. She is bold and has taken some strong positions. That's typical of visionary entrepreneurs. To call 900 residents of Dreamland "idiots" just shows your ignorance and immaturity. Business week are idiots for featuring her on the front cover of the most widely read business weekly in the world? The NY Times? Los Angeles Times? Wall Sreet Journal? Dutch, German, French Television? No these are respected and well read publications and news media. This young woman has revolutionized the metaverse with her own unique business model and is responsible for more revenue flowing to Linden Labs then any business on SL. Money has never been an issue in my 15 months working with her. She gives away many sims to be used by the community - Central Park - Mature Sandbox - Yard Sale - Plush City - Dreamland Hub ..... and more. I have run 3 companies before leaving the business world to devote my rl to helping the homeless in a large US city. On SL I admire Anshe's commitment to her staff her clients and the community. These are qualities that should be emulated in RL organizations. Unfortunately there are those whose envy and lack of self worth leads them to idly flame and attack anyone who has been successful here. Anshe is a visionary an activist for community building and a true icon of this Second Life if not the entire metaverse. It's time her detractors get a second life.
