I think we both known the “prices have to go up” story isn’t always true. I think there’s some other things that could happen, but we also both know they won’t.

Sounds good to me. Where do I sign?

I had been with a software company for 8.5 years. I was let go along with 30 others in the same day. We were quietly called into meetings one at a time and not told to bring anything (even our work laptops or tablets). We were told we would not be allowed back at our desks to collect our things and that someone would…

some of us (me) were part of both layoffs, yay!

How have you never heard of Teachout? She's been very active in NY politics for years now, though mostly upstate. Also, if James were willing to take on moneyed interests, she never would have been endorsed by that slimy ratfucker Cuomo.

Problem is that James is tight with Cuomo, and when point-blank asked how she planned to be the “sheriff of Wall Street” (which, you know, fighting corruption is your job as AG, so...) she said she had no intention of being the sheriff of Wall Street. 

She was the only person in the entire god damn state with the gumption to challenge this numpty and if her campaign accomplished nothing else but highlighting the problem of the IDC upstate then it was a rousing success. 

Cuomo was sitting pretty on a $30 million campaign war chest at the beginning of the year.

NY is a closed primary state. No independent or other parties allowed. whatever happened to change his affiliation disallowed him to vote.

Not sure what the attempted point is here. Since the system has proven to be simply incompetent and not sinisterly corrupt, there’s no need to fix it? 

I wonder which ethics panel-averse candidate benefits from all this?

And yet bringing up these concerns in 2016 got me called a Russian bot/troll...  Let’s see what happens this year!

The bias does not contaminate the rest of the reporting because editorial board columns are not reporting, they are editorials. Helpfully, for those who do not understand this, the New York Times goes so far as to include an explanation (“The editorial board represents the opinions of the board, its editor and the…

One of those links lead me to the old Valleywag site and immediately brought me back to 2006 when I was a much younger, single, and childless, person toiling at a start up in downtown Palo Alto, just a couple blocks away from Facebook’s old HQ.

I wonder who the cameraman is going to be

I know. Ultimately I harbor no anger for the victim who is simply trying to leverage the civil power he has vs. a large corporation in order to turn a terrible thing into at least something good. In its own way, it’s great that EA will be able to likely pay them a fairly large settlement while suffering virtually no…

And I repeat, if a military base can’t prevent an active shooter, what measures could EA or the venue have possibly taken that would have? Are we doomed to live in a culture of perpetual fear, where every public event is staffed by a small garrison of heavily armed guards?

“failed to provide a safe and secure environment” for the participants, among other complaints.

If the cops shot and killed your child or your sibling or your neighbor’s kid, you wouldn’t be frightened? Your callousness is revolting. Shame on you. 

Nice scare quotes.
