steve-o has been sober for a while. He's got a youtube channel and talks about his former addictions a lot. He has reaction videos of him seeing some of the poo poo he did for the first time because he was so out of it when he filmed.

Steve- O was sober during 3, IIRC. After Dunn died, they took a break, and until recently, Knoxville was the major hold out from coming back. (All from various Steve O interviews)

Steve O has been clean and sober for a long time, is a vegan, and owns an animal rescue.

The Broidy story got funnier. Recap: He's the RNB fundraiser that got busted on illegal foreign lobbying, took a guilty plea, and is facting *up to* 5 years in prison. How he got busted is the funny thing:

https://twitter.com/dfriedman33/status/1339291468943376384

quote:

Broidy voluntarily gave the FBI emails from his and his wife’s accounts while seeking the bureau’s assistance in pursuing hackers who he claimed had stolen this material and leaked damaging details about his business dealings to the press. According to a just-unsealed ruling issued in June 2018 by Beryl Howell, the chief US District Judge in Washington, DC, nearly 1,400 pages of emails that Broidy provided to the FBI were subsequently used by the bureau in the investigation that led to Broidy’s guilty plea. Following a secretive legal process, Howell ruled that Broidy had surrendered the material to the FBI and after doing that—when the bureau wanted to exploit the documents for an investigation of Broidy himself—could no longer claim the information was covered by attorney-client privilege or spousal privilege.

If you're doing illegal poo poo and you get hacked, it's not a good idea to give the feds proof you're doing illegal poo poo to help them fight your hackers.

No, looks like that was taken out in exchange for the Dems holding off on money to aid state and local jurisdictions. Which of course is still monstrous, but that's the loving Republicans for you.

Republicans want more Paycheck Protection Plan funding, which secretly goes to way more big businesses than small businesses. They also believe that unemployment checks and free money make people lazy and businesses should be allowed to treat employees like cattle.

So the main part of this deal is that PPP gets funded, UI gets sorta-funded, and a shitload of funding goes to the states/localities via education and covid spending, just not blank-check funding. I believe there's also an eviction ban extension and student loan repayment delays too.

The unspoken things are that state/local revenues didn't crash as much as everyone thought they would (but it's still bad) and businesses aren't getting sued anywhere near as much as Republicans think/thought (but the big business lobbying machine is in overdrive).

Also, Republicans don't believe in spending money to help people in the first place.

Meanwhile your boss was able to keep paying himself more than any of you were getting. Employer support should have taken a back seat to direct payments.

A friend used to work for a not good company where the owner donated over a million to trump in 2016. A quick check reveals his company got a PPP loan in the $5 to $10 million range.

The PPP loans were used to line the pockets of rich people even if it went where it needed to go in a lot of cases. Just like I might get the same tax cut as billionaires but they benefit a lot more for it. It’s all a grift.

Sure, but direct support is socialism, and Prager U told me that Jesus was a capitalist and socialism makes him cry, so we can't have that in America.

There's pretty much no way to fairly distribute money to keep businesses alive because the economy is unfair. I think the ppp was good and I want more because it did accomplish its mission of keeping a lot of businesses from firing people. It could have been better but it could have been way way worse.
