My soul died a bit thinking of that wasted MDF
Biden’s actions to ease housing costs
Biden’s plan to lower drug costs.
Biden’s actions to increase minimum wage. Here’s one of him telling UAW members to fight for a 40% increase.
Companies were in trouble, now they're doing incredibly well. And guess what? You should be doing incredibly well, too
- ~~Bernie~~ Biden
Just because he isn’t stringing words together to say your second paragraph verbatim doesn’t mean he’s not taking steps to do something about it. And the links above took literally 2 minutes of searching “Biden addresses X”
It's easier to tear things down / trash talk things rather than advertise accomplishments / build something. That's why the R agenda of the govt doing nothing can be fulfilled by just having either the House, Senate, or Presidency, but the Ds need all three to do anything meaningful.
The same concept goes for Biden's accomplishments. It's easier / more palatable to go with the status quo and say lol milquetoast, all of them are the same, too old than actually make people care about what he did do. It takes multiple sentences to explain his positives (like what actually happened with the rail strike) and just a few words to call him useless and dismiss the conversation entirely.
You’re basically telling me that in order to have cruelty-free wool, I have to be wealthy.
Congrats. You found out why there’s animal cruelty in the first place. People need cheaper things -> other things need to be sacrificed to make that happen.
Romney will not vote for Trump under any circumstances and isn’t shy about it*
That’s what gets me about the “do your own research” parrots. Ok - let me just google it and blindly trust the top SEOd results. That’s what most people’s research is going to be
It’s good advice if the audience knew how to critically evaluate articles, but people don’t even read the articles.
From what I can tell, lemmy’s on par with other social media sites (reddit, twitter, fb) wrt disinfo rates. That is to say not worse, not better, but still fucking horrible.
Makes me realize that people are just as big a driver of this bs as any state or corpo driven propaganda bot.
No way... people who are experts in the food/health industry are involved with giving dietary advice? The horror.
Of course there isn't a link to the reports, so I have to go looking for it. Anyway here's the report. PDF - page 8 for the results. I spot-checked a few of them - the conflicts of interest I saw was in the form of companies sponsoring research done. ...which is pretty much how the majority of research gets done I believe..
Also I see coca-cola referenced ONCE as a "possible" COI
Position in industry-sponsored conferences: Dr. Booth was selected to speak at a conference sponsored by Bayer, Coca-Cola, and Abbott, among other industry actors
yet this article seems to deem it alright to put it as the posterboy image and list it prominently among other unpopular company names. Also they have to link to their boogeyman reporting about aspartame. You can see where HN tore it apart here.
This is why I hate news nowadays. I could've made some good food in the past 20 minutes on a nice Saturday, but instead I wasted time finding out a guardian article was bullshit.
Relevant section in the govt report -
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons, at 4.1 million, changed little in September. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs. (See table A-8.)
A-8 seems to indicate the number of part-time jobs for economic reasons actually went down by about 100k, which seems pretty good.
Can't possibly be right because it's not - he pulled it out of his ass. If you look at sourced govt document, it outlines the motivation pretty clearly.
The United States Border Patrol’s (Border Patrol) Rio Grande Valley Sector is an area of “high illegal entry.” As of early August 2023, Border Patrol had encountered over 245,000 such entrants attempting to enter the United States between ports of entry in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in Fiscal Year 2023.
It's a problem area that the government's trying to get patched up. If you read the document, they list very specific spots they're putting barriers up in - it's not some brain-dead wall. And it's not for conservative brownie points. If people are illegally coming past the border, the government has an interest in stopping that no matter who's actually in charge.
The lie is likely a reference to McCarthy going on air trying to pin the potential shutdown on the Dems

That's interesting because the Times also just put out an article referencing Federalist professors who determined he should be disqualified. Looks like they're playing both sides, lol.
