I mean, it’s nice that Biden is saying the ‘quiet part’ out loud (and it’s about damn time), but White Supremacy has always been a terrorist organization at its core. It has always been a clear and present danger to a country that was literally built on immigration and cultural blending (whether they were voluntary or

It’s even more absurd than that. Car manufactures routinely impound thousands upon thousands of unsold cars when the next year’s models are released. Why? Because it’s more profitable to destroy the unsold models and write them off than it to sell the older model at reduced prices in place of what they could have

I don’t know. I mean, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” is pretty unambiguous, but Republicans never seem to have an issue when someone kills people Republicans don’t like or scapegoat.

It take 10-15 minutes to *smother* someone to death, and it’s an agonizing way to die as the brain is slowly deprived of oxygen. But that’s not what happened to Neely. He was placed in a chokehold. It does not take that long to choke someone to death. A properly applied chokehold, like the one used on Neely, cuts off

That’s just it. The training Penny used to subdue Neely is the same training that meant he also knew what he was doing would kill Neely if he didn’t stop. Yet he chose not to stop. Chose. That’s what makes it intent. Not an accident. So while it is unlikely to have been premeditated, Neely’s death was absolutely not

There’s just one problem with your position: an absence of historical context.

The issue has never been about whether it can be done but rather who will pay for it and who will own it. As you might imagine, capitalists are big on having the government pay *them* to build it while they then claim ownership of it afterward. It’s the old ‘externalize the cost, privatize all the profits’ shtick

Well, unless the EPA addresses the elephant in the room — how easy it currently is for fossil fuel companies to game the ‘carbon capture’ system (to the tune of an estimated half a billion dollars already) without actually changing anything about their business model — this is going to be a complete waste of time and

What unions have consistently shown the public is that the people getting paid the most money *AREN’T* those who actually determine a company’s success or even make any sort of contribution to society. Regular, working-class Americans do. Upper management and execs are, in the grand scheme, worthless. What they do is f

The sad thing, if he wasn’t already a racist ultra-nationalist piece of shit before going to prison, he almost certainly will be one when he gets released. Assuming, of course, he even gets convicted for the lesser charge than what he deserves. Because you can’t accidentally choke someone to death (other than

The TuckerMusk show— watch two quasi-grown ultra-racist white men dry humping each other to show just how alpha-male awesome they can be. Brought to you by the Twittershits — it’s like diarrhea for your brain!

The problem is that moving an entire theme park like Disney World is basically impossible. It cost far more to build than Disney can ever hope to get back, and rebuilding it somewhere else will be even more expensive. That’s why when businesses make threats about ‘leaving,’ if they’ve got significant investments in

That’s funny, because every time economies tank, the very same wealthy capitalists who caused it to tank in the first place just happen to rake in obscene amounts of wealth and further consolidate their stranglehold on economies and governments. Like when the US housing market collapsed, wealthy capitalists who

...missing at least a zero or two from that figure, particularly given the viciousness of the attacks she’s endured at the hands of Trump and his army of witless, immoral sycophants.

Not anywhere near the same extent. When your boss literally owns the home you live in, losing your job is losing your house and everything that goes with it. All at once.

If you choose to stand side by side with racists, you are a racist. If you have no problems associating with people espousing racist policies, you are a racist. If you’re willing to go along with racist agendas, you are a racist.

It should be noted that this is a feedback loop (which is itself part of another feedback loop).

It’s not about whether he’s trying to build a company town, or whether what he’s done would constitute one. It’s about the ugly, exploitative, abusive, and oppressive history of company towns, and why your ‘boss’ should never be the provider/owner of the roof over your head. That power dynamic only ever has one result

It does present an interesting question: with as large a catalog as there is of classic, high-grossing films, why don’t studios do re-runs of their greatest hits more often? I mean, isn’t the ‘theater experience’ the whole market appeal of theaters, which makes the ‘newness’ of the film a secondary factor? It just has

But because fossil fuels generate lots of profits for the select few who are monopolizing government agendas, laws, and policies, those deaths are just an acceptable cost of ‘doing business.’
