I don't think the point of the article was any of those: like most media I'm sure Bloomberg's interest was ad impressions. Which they got from me, and will probably continue to get from me because they publish interesting articles like this that inform of things I didn't know.
- leereeves 10y agoI don't think Bloomberg founded a news agency for the profit from ad impressions. News organizations have agendas, particularly when they share the name of a nationally known politician.
- ecopoesis 10y agoWhen Bloomberg was founded, Michael Bloomberg was a politician yet. He was a man trying to make money.
- alphabettsy 10y agoSome of the other commenters have spent more time dissecting the writer and publication than the content of the story. If the story contains false or objectionable content I could see the reason for bringing this up, otherwise I personally can't really understand the point. The article mentions plenty of things to indicate possible motives including wages, unionization, and safety regulations. Besides that these seem to be real stories that I honestly would've probably never heard about otherwise. Naively I didn't think most of these jobs were very dangerous, especially after reading stories about Chrysler workers caught drinking and smoking weed at the plants. After reading those stories I assumed these jobs were maybe demanding, but how hard could they be if they can be done while under the influence..? This story brought new perspective for me. Where I see new information, others are only seeing ulterior motive and maybe there's a bit of both.
