Corny posted:why did the NYT cover a high school party?? did they have nothing better to do in the lead up to the iraq war??? (the answer is no, they were too busy shilling for karl rove/dick cheney/neocons in general) I get why the lifestyle reporters weren't covering Iraq but they are in one of the most vibrant social scenes in the country how can you justify covering this poo poo.

triple sulk posted:yeah ill probably cancel nyt, im not paying for wapo cause its a free 6 month soooo when you pay for the times you should think of it like donating to a public broadcasting station any given day theyll have a bunch of frustrating garbage but then kablammo!! they drop a major investigative report that produces real world effects yeah the report will prob be major enough news that youll hear about it in detail whether or not you subscribe but you pay for the paper to help them keep the lights on during the investigation and really if you arent tuned into a lot of other news sources paging thru the nyt is a good way to survey the days happenings around the world but like so is google news so

I get that we're doomed to repeat history because we forget it but this isn't something that happened 100 years ago. Multiple times in the last year Trump has done something vaguely gracious or serious and the entire media tripped over itself to say he was finally going to be presidential, then three days later he's threatening and belittling his skin cream manufacturer over Twitter. Why haven't they learned their lesson.

A really bright yellow would work, too, but most people probably don't have a lot of yellow clothes.

the economy is going to collapse sooner rather then later, in 2007 people were seeing the warning signs of the collapse but said consistently that it would be a few years before it came to a head and then all of a sudden in summer of 2008 we have investment firms starting to fail left and right. if trump actually goes through with his new trade rules where he can apply tariffs in retaliation to other countries, we are going to see this collapse sooner rather than later since its going to usher in a global wave of protectionism against the US and lol hope people enjoy paying 20% more for common goods at the grocery store!

Housing bubble was identified and talked about as early as 2003 iirc. Certainly 2005 Credit default swaps were kind of unknown I guess

Why haven't they learned their lesson. They're desperate for trump to be legitimate and for people to get quietly deported so they can resume peacefully draining the country of material wealth Like on an unconscious level they have to admit that the status quo is entirely unsustainable, they just want to cash out before the poo poo hits the fan
