Company willing to fire their ethicist and the person who also knows about said ethics violations because the ethicist and witness complained about an ethics violation - shouldn’t program ethical reasoning into a security device.

What’s happening here seems a lot more of the same corporate stuff that Google’s more known for these days. Where it’s a lot less dot-com, young energy creative vibe and a lot more traditional corporation.

In times like these I am always reminded of the famous Bette Davis quote on the passing of Joan Crawford:

I don’t really spend my time aboard ships, Captain Ahab, but I wish your harpoon stay sharp and sail true - If you ever catch that white whale that haunts your nightmares, I’m sure it will make all your work worth it.

Show us on the doll where the Bernie touched you.

Yes, totally plausible. They’re not just anyone; they’re the ‘hard-working, job-creators, real Americans.’

Remember kids, if you feel like killing a cop, wear a MAGA hat and beat him with an American flag. White nazis will still love you and you won’t even get arrested.

When the Weather Underground was operating in the US, the Left was quick to condemn their violent actions. Fast forward to 2020/21 and I don’t see the Right doing the same for Proud Boys, et al, preferring to make excuses and divert blame.

I mean, we could easily free up the space if we would just stop the War on Drugs and locking people of color up for bullshit.

Osama Bin Laden won that war he started. This (in part) is what that victory looks like. The republic eating itself.

Look, you know me, folks. I tell it like it is, and I’m not gonna stop now. A small part of me would love to see not just billions of government dollars but also the propaganda media machine - including video games, TV shows, and movies - work overtime to demonize white supremacists and other domestic terrorists.

Sometimes my kid asks me for something for dinner, and then I make it, and he eats about half of it and then says “I’m still hungry,” and I say “Finish what you asked for, and then I’ll get you something else if you’re still hungry after that.”

Yes, please let’s not let this discussion devolve into kink-shaming. Manson is not a BDSM practioner of any kind. He’s a violent abusive whackjob. Period. EVR was not an informed, consenting partner, she was the victim of multiple crimes. There is no blurred line here.

Sounds like? Try is.

No, not good for him. Nobody should have 100 million dollars to themselves in a country where over 14 million households don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Being worth six figures is immoral - you can live fantastically happily the rest of your life on 10 million and never be able to spend it all. Give…

Agreed, which is why I think the next “Occupy Wall Street” will be a lot more violent and destructive. When people don’t believe that peaceful protest is effective, they stop protesting and start rioting. It would not surprise me, at all, if someone set off a big ol’ bag of homemade ANFO like the Mythbusters cement…

I’m hoping the bigger narrative that takes place is the crumbling of the widely believed lie that a stock is a reflection of the performance of a company (and by extention, Wall Street is Main Street).

Their accomplishments don’t mean they deserve to be worth 270 million dollars.

Do you really think people don’t know that? The point is that a 70 million dollar slice of the economic pie is earmarked as ‘belonging’ to him. There’s only so much pie. When he ‘makes’ a million, that million is being infinitesimally sliced off of everyone else’s slices.

Legalize weed and make explicit the fact that the DEA is really the enforcer for the Fed Cartel.
