So that woman in Texas convicted the other week got 8 years for unknowingly voting when she couldn’t. So surely these jackals will get 20 or so for this blatant cheating??

The reason costs are higher here is because we're the only nation in the world that allows insurance, pharma & provider industries to set their own pricing.

So yeah, this is too little too late and ignoring the major problem.

ZypherIM posted:There is a decently well known quote/phrase that I have no clue where it is from. Basically, if you owe someone a small amount of money, they have influence over you. However, if you owe someone a poo poo-tons of money you have control over them. Like eventually they're going to milk enough out of you that even if they don't get it all they're not operating a loss. They can't work over the guy who owes them 4 million dollars and get even close to that amount, so they have a vested interest in seeing him get into a position to get them that money.

Has there been any word on that middle class 10% tax cut that Trump talked about a couple of weeks before the mid-terms? It's been over a month now.quote:"We're putting in a resolution sometime in the next week or week-and-a-half, two weeks," Trump said. "We're giving a middle-income tax reduction of about 10 percent. We’re doing it now for middle-income people."

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:"We should go to war without ammunition, and only after winning the first few battles should we then load our rifles and carry on." In situations where centrist and/or blue-dog ratfucker democrats are actively impeding us from taking seats away from the GOP, though e.g. lovely messaging and support for loser candidates, they should be dealt with--especially if they are from safe democrat districts/states. Schumer is a good example--there is effectively a 0% chance of a more progressive senator losing to a republican in the NY senate race, and Schumer is a shitler, so any effort expended to get rid of him is effort well spent. On the other hand, Manchin, while being a complete idiot rear end in a top hat, is always in imminent peril of losing to a GOP candidate. Unless someone has a clear strategy to secure his seat in WV from the left, it isn't worth focusing on him at the expense of other battles. You can make the argument that sacrificing e.g. a Manchin is worthwhile if it allows you to pick up seats elsewhere, but that's not a gamble to make until you have a clear path to a senate majority (i.e. not now).

The only things I can think of are like the border wall (ie not going to happen so he can bluster forever about how it isn't happening).

FWIH, it's that Tumblr doesn't want to pay for human moderators, which would be the best way to deal with problematic content on the site, instead resorting to putting all adult content into a ghetto, hiding it from view, then using an algorithm to filter content, now just banning all adult content.

A lot of the tweets on #Tumblr today have been people posting all the hilariously not-at-all NSFW artwork they've had get flagged as porn by Tumblr's amazingly well tuned algorithm. It's been a hilarious day for corporate dumb watching.

This would be less worrisome were it not for the fact that Manchin is almost certainly going to be the top member of the Democratic party on the energy committee, and thus uniquely well-positioned to sabotage any clean energy legislation. I don't disagree with the premise that Manchin is better than whatever else manages to slither out of West Virginia, but when it comes to climate he's probably worse than a lot of Republicans elsewhere in the country.

Today was not a surprise for nobody using the site, since that Tumblr algorithm had "accidentally" deleted whole blogs off the site for bullshit flags. There was a lot of adult content follows I saw that were already preparing to make a move or instructing followers where else to find them on the Internet. I've seen a lot of talk from them about not just abandoning their blogs, but deleting their accounts, since a declining userbase hurts investment potential.

Thanks for the answer, just was wondering what you were after. Apparently some bigger players didn't like how tumblr screened NSFW content also. No one wants to pay enough for human moderators, and no one wants to human moderate cause it's not fun. I guess here is where the orange porn must happen.

It is an interesting problem, and I'm not really sure what direction good solutions are in. I mean, a lot of websites are starting to go back to the subscription model and get away from the ad based model. It helps a lot in news and sports becuase people can focus on writing good and interesting poo poo without having to be a purely click-bait hot-take bonanza
