I had a Mormon coworker, and they basically treated everyone with a kind of tolerance that equated to thinking they were stupid for not being Mormon because it was the obvious right choice.

Just this year, the economy stabilized to the point where lower-wage jobs began showing growth proportional to their share of the economy (source). Before that, the growth of middle-wage jobs lagged behind the growth of low- and high- wage jobs (source). On top of that, a disproportionate number of middle- and higher-wage jobs were lost in the initial recession (source). The end result is that lower-wage industries now represent a higher proportion of the total job market, and middle-wage jobs represent a lower proportion.

I liked him reaching for his gun a second time, then reaching for his taser and then radioing in that the suspect is refusing to get out of the vehicle.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:THANK YOU! I have noticed this a lot with NPR, or APM's Marketplace. But the truth is that from the perspective of their paymasters (huge corporations), it is getting better. They just need us to keep buying stuff so the facade doesn't slip. Another thing NPR is really obnoxious about : Trump. They insist on covering him as though he was just another candidate. They don't interview people who say "holy poo poo Trump is a racist pandering buffoon" and discuss how he has surged to the top simply by discarding coded language. The closest I heard to critical coverage of Trump was yesterday when they were covering New Hampshire and they were interviewing Trump supporters. Just the most noxious, filthy people you could imagine. They were talking to some 70 year old guy who was like "I support Trump wanting to keep the Muslims out, but it's going to be unconstitutional if you just come out and say that. You should ban them by country, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan. Then it won't be unconstitutional. You just have to think a little bit." I'm sure NPR tells itself that just by covering these people they are revealing Trump, but it's not enough.

NPR caters to their demo. I mean more than 3/4 of their listeners earn 50K+ HHI with 1/2 earning 75K+. So listeners probably have reason to be cheerful these days.

Also, your first link has construction as a "middle wage" job, which probably is not a normal circumstance outside of a housing bubble. computer parts fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Dec 12, 2015 |

They aren't even acknowledging the fact that the officer has no reaction whatsoever when the gun discharges. If it was an accident you would have to assume he wouldn't continue approaching the guy like a Terminator.

It looks like an accidental discharge to me. In fact, I don't think he realized he hit the guy, because he only mentions discharging his firearm when they discover that he was shot in the neck. He might have gotten away with the stray, he's thinking. It looks like a negligent, incompetent cop got caught flat footed when he was handed more than a routine DUI ticket. He might have been drunk himself.
