What kind of hosed up, abusive relationship does right wing everything have with social media? Every single major company is breaking their (rules) back tying themselves in knots to give Republicans every possible advantage on their platforms and no matter how far social media stacks the deck in their favor it's always "liberal social media is the enemy, they need to be destroyed!"

The owners of social media are very rich.

Which political group do you think they are happier supporting?

Hello, and thank you for bringing up terrible infrastructure.

As someone living about 100 miles down stream from the Hanford Nuclear Production Site that is currently full of rusting plutonium in containers that are also rusting, please let me take a moment of your time to share my feelings with you.

Bring up every day how 175k+ US citizens have died and the current administration is doing everything in its power to make that number go up because they value money over people.

Yea, but if they did that then when they push for the same things because they value money over people it might be brought up again later.

There are already mechanisms for limiting the rights of old people who are unable to deal with the world rationally, usually due to dementia or some other degenerative brain thing. Hard pass on just setting an age limit.

Biden, the GOP, AND the DNC, as well as the moneyed interests of the US, are heavily invested in a relatively healthy workforce that can move about the nation and international sphere relatively easily.

This is 100% fan fiction.

The ONLY number they care about is next quarter. Period.

If they were at all interested in investing in a healthy workforce this would never have happened.

Immanentized posted:

And what do you think is driving the metrics for next quarter? It's not a truly healthy workforce, but one that can be relied on to show up semi-regularly. Remember that when this all went down that there were major industries (excepting meat packing, but they're a special case) that went WFH/ high level employee protections immediately, once the risks were understood to a decent degree. Sure they're not acting altruistically or out of care for the worker as a group, but if you don't have people your earnings are going to suffer. It wasn't a perfect or even adequate amount of protection, but just enough to ensure that business as usual continued.

Make them show up to work even if they're sick.

And they do! I'm not fundamentally disagreeing with you, but at some point doing that yields negative returns.

Okay, but the point we are disagreeing about is that pretending that the monied give a poo poo about worker health. Because the ONLY thing that matters is the next few weeks. No one who is in any real position of power to do anything about it is freaking out. I'm sure some middle management types are.

Not to be a dick, but doesn't the timeline video show that he walked by the cops before the shooting? Or did he walk by cops after the shooting as well?


Both. He was chatting with the cops before the shooting. And then after the shooting he just scoots on by them to leave and they give zero fucks.

I *think* the joke is more, since trump is running all those "This is Joe Biden's America" attack adds using video from protests happening while Joe Biden is in fact not president, this poster is poking fun at those idiots.

People forget that a trump victory isn't a failure for the DNC. Getting their guy into the white house would be their best outcome, but they're fine with trump since he supports capital, and so do they. They just do it differently with different focuses.

So he can do all the dirty things and then they can reap the benefits while complaining about him the whole time.
