This is one of the problems that I think you can actually prison your way out of.

If a minor is ever found working in a place they’re not allowed, every manager who has ever worked at the same time as the minor goes to prison for 20 years, along with 3 levels of bosses above them. Like the made up thing about North Korea imprisoning multiple generations of your family, but exclusively for management. Make it so the consequence of not reporting a child labor violation is so incredibly high for everyone who’s even nearby that regional managers start showing up to check because their life would be ruined if they didn’t find it.

I’m not even sold on Biden being the lesser evil to be quite honest

If nothing else, Trump is a lazy moron who pisses off everyone around him and provokes a lot of opposition

When Trump said “Less covid tests means less covid cases” everyone got pissed off. Biden made it policy. Trump wanted to ban TikTok, no one did anything about it and he got lazy and gave up. Biden passed the fucking thing.

The fact that Trump is a lazy slob who makes the liberals incredibly upset makes him marginally better than Biden imo

How the fuck is “you have to let people on cargo ships into your country at least temporarily” not in any of the treaties we have regarding international shipping?

Honestly, the bare minimum I’ll accept is “Stop giving money and weapons,” and I’ll only phone bank if they’re calling for bombing Tel Aviv

Makes sense to me

China is objectively better at capitalism than the United States is. Bloomberg likes it when countries are good at capitalism. So China good.

However, China being better at capitalism goes against Bloomberg’s entire philosophy, they’re evil communists! So China bad.

you’ve seen the AI Jesus with cabin crew photos they’re from facebook. I’m starting to think some AI (chatGPT) told someone that this was a winning combination to post on Facebook and that’s why they started making those pictures specifically. Cause I don’t know what Jesus has to do with flight attendants lol.

I assumed the AIs were looking at which of their posts do better and doing more of those, and ones with Jesus and apparently airline crews were some of the most successful early on so it just keeps repeating and getting worse

Use of the word “temporarily” feels like an interesting choice by the Associated Press here, especially since it’s not backed up by anything in the article

The Associated Press is one of the most garbage news organizations I’ve ever fucking heard of and for some reason they’re treated as being the most neutral of all neutrality. They constantly use terrible wording, downplay issues, and repeat insane claims from the most Hitlery people imaginable with no questioning. Half the time they don’t even bother to put a journalist’s name on the fucking article (this one does, but they often don’t). And then other “reputable news outlets” repost their stories word for word with no further investigation.

And ignoring US domestic laws about selling weapons. We do have laws against what’s happening, and I really need some rogue sheriff to decide to start enforcing them when some of these politicians happen to be in their county.

My partner defends her dissertation tomorrow and she’s so stressed and I’m so stressed worrying she’s gonna have a breakdown tonight and not sleep

I’ve seen this take several times the last couple days, “I’m not on either side I just want the killing to stop” that puts you on the anti-Israel side dipshit, there’s one side that wants peace and one side that very explicitly doesn’t.

The relevant Senate committee was not consulted, as required by university rules

This has been one of the most wild things about the universities responses to these protests. Most of them are breaking their own internal rules with the way they’re responding! Most universities have both a student government and faculty senate (staff can get fucked) and at most universities those two bodies have to be consulted at some level before you can do things like call in outside cops and mass suspend/expel students.

A bunch of university presidents are going to lose their jobs over this, depending on the power of their faculty senate, all for something they could’ve just left alone. None of these encampments were even really disrupting normal activities, you could’ve just left them there and they’d probably go away after a few weeks.

Instead you threw a temper tantrum, broke your own rules, and in many cases broke state or federal law as well - The uni I work at is now being sued for violating the ADA because they arrested a disabled student for having a chair in the quad. My president unfortunately won’t lose his job for this, his hiring broke state law and university rules in the first place and was opposed by the faculty senate and student government, and forced through by ronald, but at a lot of schools the faculty senate has more power than it does here.

9 people arrested last night, DeSantis wants them to be expelled. It’s been smaller than most, and by that nature less disruptive and “violent” than the others. There were a couple hundred people on the second day, but through the nights it hasn’t been many at all.

It very much depends on the school. Some they have basically no power, but at some they have binding powers. I’m pretty sure Columbia is the latter but I’m not that familiar with it.

I keep thinking about when Richard Spencer came and how different the response was to this. They fought tooth and nail to make sure he was able to speak. They spent millions on security to protect him and his Nazi friends. But as soon as they saw a keffiyeh in the plaza they called in state troopers.

Their current setup should already do exactly that. Tiktok is based in Singapore, not China.

The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that fragments of the bird flu virus had been detected in some samples of pasteurized milk in the U.S.

That’s a key word to leave out of the headline god damn. That would mean pasteurization did its job, whereas the headline implies to me “pasteurization does not kill this virus,” which would be a lot more concerning
