For once, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I think the odds of Prince getting shot on stage because a cop thought his microphone was a real gun were pretty slim.

I dunno, that seems like an awful lot of work compared to just tossing everything on a piece of garlic naan:

To be honest the officers handled it properly.  The boy’s relatives couldn’t hold him back and, yes he’s only 10, but that force when you’re not prepared can knock you over.  The officer didn’t scream at him afterwards, but tried to calm the situation down.  That said, if the person in question is being arrested, but…

Context matters. Thanks for the facts and police body cam video, CNN.

Or someone on her team released it for the publicity... but I’m cynical.

The New York Daily News wasn’t profitable. How is that not a market correction? It was literally sold to Tronc for $1 because the liabilities were more than the paper’s value. 

“I used to goof on are going under, and not because of superior competition, but because they’re all getting eaten alive by a roving band of deathless private equity dipshits.”

I think the loss of journalism jobs was inevitable. I hate the term “market correction”, because it’s douchey and what-not, but I think journalism employment was a bubble, just like so many other fields. It sucks for the people who built their careers doing NEWSROOM JOURNALISM, but some of those folks refused to…

Looking into the near future, the answer is a shuttered website formerly owned by Univision.

How do we know this was a racist attack?

I have an idea Albert, start your own company, and then you can do what you like! I, mean, how hard could it be? Then you don’t have to worry about your boss selling you out, making a profit off your labor, or the whims of some nameless/faceless vampires out to do nothing more than screw the little guy.

I am afraid you do not understand how these systems work...and thus you are enraged. No doubt the result sucks but the assumption that there are manipulative evil rich dudes making this happen is simply naive and demonstrates a dangerous lack of depth to be discussing this topic with any kind of authority. What you do…

While I 100% agree that this shouldn’t be legal and should never be done, I think this isn’t so much a “let’s make this person rich and screw over the small guy”-situation, as it is “unless we pay this person what he’s owed he is going to sue us for breach of contract and therefore cost us even more than if we just…

Ask the United Airlines unions how well that worked out...

“It’s legal for the parasites who buy an ownership stake in your company to decide they will appropriate your livelihood for themselves” 

Yeah, I don’t think so. I don’t think there is a point here. Because if there where, what could it possibly be? Thar people shouldn’t buy companies, or that they shouldn’t able to borrow money?

Not only is it legal, but it’s basically required. Share/interest holders may have a cause of action if management/board/large share/interest holders are not maximizing revenue and servicing debt.

It’s legal for them to trade your employment for their enrichment; it’s legal to purchase a company for the sole purpose of liquidating it, laying off all its workers, and keeping the money for yourself.

But in the linked article it says that GMG isn’t profitable... if you were certainly your owners would want to keep you around.
