Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Huh..,That must mean that HBO will pay you even if you are sick and can't produce a show. That's nice, though I'm not sure all companies are like that...
Isn't that just sick time? I would hope any HBO employee would get sick time. The same at other networks. I would expect Colbert (and hopefully his crew if the union has worked that into the contract) got paid when he was off the air because his appendix ruptured.
Sick t8me? These guys have million dollar contracts to deliver a given number of shows. That's it. If they get get sick, they have to pay others to replace them. Unless you are like Johnny Carson, who had people who would do it for free.
No one replaced Colbert. He just went off the air. So I hope everyone got paid while Colbert was sick. And I'm not sure why having high-paid contracts mean you don't deserve sick time. This sounds suspiciously similar to people saying that the actors and writers didn't need to strike because Tom Cruise is rich.
Normally the production crew being union is covered.
Point is that not everybody enjoys getting paid while being sick. He does, and it's still a big check.
Yes. And everybody should be paid while being sick even though they're not. Which is not the fault of the people who are.
Certainly those that do get paid for being sick should not have the audacity to voice a very public opinion ignoring those that are not paid. You may call that having empathy, I call it having class.
What
Do you think he has to clock in everyday? LOL
