That's because journalism has more or less lost all semblance of integrity, so it's turned into "what cheap clickbait can I crap out today to maximize my clicks?" That's why instead of the hard-hitting investigation and journalism we got with Watergate, we get "TRUMP = LITERAL NAZI, CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY"

Careful someone might actually believe this instead of taking it as a joke. (Although bikes do directly threaten car culture which is why I love them so much)

Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist party?

Drone strikes are expensive, why not reserve them for gatherings of dozens of Gazans? Why take out small groups like this? Why release the video?

Typically, the fellows pulling the trigger are so far removed from the costs it ceases to be a factor.

When will we, as humans of all colors, stand up against racism against whites (and especially males) that is strangely being more and more accepted as a normal thing daily?

You get 0 'progressive points' for standing up for white males. One of the last socially acceptable punching bags. Look at the proliferation of the 'dumb dad' on sitcoms, totally acceptable.

They have time for what they want to have time for. Everything else is just lip service.

“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.”

― George Orwell, 1984

In manufacturing, there is a piece rate for every SKU. At places I have worked this is a very carefully tracked number, as it will inform the production rate which will then affect inventory. A gain of 20% would be extremely major.

If this ends up working out, awesome. I just fear that cost of living has risen so much lately and this will be weaponized into yet another excuse to charge consumers more. "Of course we have to charge more, our workers are here less!"

Yeah, that's not true coverage of the topic... give me a break.

This only makes sense if you don’t think about it at all.

That's why so many of our American policies work great.

Perhaps the problem is the word crisis. If you reframe the conversation to say "there are increasing numbers of people attempting to cross the southern border", the stats are pretty plain: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters

I don't know if this counts as a CRISIS!!! but it's extremely easy to establish more and more people are crossing the border.
