The Forest | Poorly Drawn Lines

Reply in thread

It’s on protected land. Also maybe I’m just lucky or something but the location isn’t thaaaaat secret if you pass the vibe check and get to know some people. I’ve talked to two different forestry workers who have seen the tree, and I’m just an ordinary outdoorsy dude who talks to people.

"No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor.

You’re directing your anger at the wrong person. You are being manipulated and used as a pawn/useful idiot. Giving any weight or credence at all to the idea that universal healthcare is complicated or exotic is just propaganda, plain and simple.

NYT opinion does this constantly. They will hem and haw about how the topic du jure is acccccccctually really complicated in order to sow doubt and give legitimacy to points that don’t just stand on their own merit. They also constantly try to distract from disastrous economic issues by trying to divide us with identity politics about race and queerness. It’s all the same tactic: some call it the “gish gallop” and some call it “flooding the zone”.

I wonder how that turned out

Because they think it will increase the profit margins of big conglomerates who bribed the politicians.

These oligarchs are so dumb and short-sighted. I’m sure whatever savings Taylor Farms had from reduced inspections was absolutely eclipsed by the massive demand reduction since nobody wants to eat their dangerous garbage anymore.
