“If The NFL owners can get together and kick out Double-J, can we all get together and kick Alabama out of the country?”

I’d imagine their legal team is telling them not to discuss it because there may be some exposure. Any lawyers know if Gizmodo would be responsible for Gawker’s future liabilities?

The middle class is on life support because globalization and competition. Unions get a bad rap because their unionizing tactics are often duplicitous and sometimes violent.

He is already on the show.

Working with extortionists only enables extortionists. I say extortionists because frivolous complaints are a common unionizing tactic to apply public pressure on the company.

So your 90 year old father accurately clocked the UAW?

Jimmy Dore is the least intelligent contributor to TYT and that says a lot when the other two mainstays are a guy who named his network after the group that committed the Armenian Genocide and the other is an Armenian who clearly doesn’t understand history.

Watch the least intelligent TYT host? Hard pass. Dore is terrible.

Seems realistic. It’s not like pretend companies are going to have real sexual harassment.

Because watching fat people quietly get skinny isn’t particularly compelling television.

Depends on the shelter and the disaster. Some of the shelters will pretty much survive anything that isn’t a direct strike. Lots wouldn’t survive nuclear attack or pandemics, but would definitely be useful in a government scenario. Others would be better if that person just came up with a good hobby.

Probably, but comparing it to the Marshall Plan is ludicrous given that we did the Marshall Plan to stop the spread of communism and giving tons of money to the only part of the US that has seriously adopted socialist policies doesn’t seem like a similar plan at all.

There is no such thing as free shit.

Says the moron who seems to think speaking Spanish = Brown people.

White Saviors? To a place where their white demographic is a higher percentage than in the US? PR was 80% white in 2000. People don’t become brown because they don’t speak English. The Spanish killed almost all of the locals via disease and warfare when they first colonized it. Their new population is made up of the…

The OPs argument is that imperialism is fucking them. My argument is imperialism has benefitted them, based on their standard of living in the region. Your argument is that they should be doing as well as the US which I am sympathetic to, but doesn’t change whether or not imperialism was a net benefit.

That would be a dumb argument. Feel free to google the GDP per capita of the independent similarly sized countries in the Caribbean. Puerto Rico’s is way better. There is a good argument to be made that PR would be Haiti or the Dominican Republic, but for the US. So if your argument is they should be free, sure. That…

That’s about 50K per person, so if that can’t fix it, nothing can. Granted, the world collectively put 13 billion into Haiti post Earthquake and the government (ours, theirs) and NGOs managed to waste almost all of it without measurable changes.

It’s one of them. That’s the group that signed that horrible contract with Whitefish.

Either you or 99% Invisible?
