No, we can't, because it rarely ever works out that way. I've yet to work at a family owned company where the children were anywhere near as competent as their parents, and I've worked at multigenerational companies, so imagi

A journalist is supposed to pursue the truth, not be a firehose for incoherent stupidity. I'm sorry your education system failed you.

Having a PhD in a field doesn't make you an intellectual. It means you worked long enough to have a defensible dissertation. I know some absolute morons who have PhDs.

Joe Rogan has a platform because he will allow any idiot on his show and just babble about whatever it is they want to talk about. He's not a journalist, he's a 3 hour ad placement masquerading as a podcast. Lex Friedman is even w

Even worse, he'll throw gasoline everywhere just like he did last time and throw the match right before he leaves the room. Fuel prices and the Afghanistan withdrawal were both done specifically with that in mind.

You are quite plainly lying. She proposed controls on gouging, which is already codified in even the reddest of red states.

Given that Trump's economic policies are primarily the cause of inflation in the US, not sure what your point is. He printed and gave away 8 trillion dollars when combined with his tax cuts for the wealthy and people wonder why the cos

You will find no bible more dogeared and highlighted than from an American evangelical, who so strongly needs to justify the reasons for their superiority and hatred that they will beat a concordance to death. They aren't interested in

None of the names associated with the gospels had anything to do with the writing of said gospels. All of them were composed after the deaths of these people.

They have a union. They don't have to "move on." They get to negotiate. That's why they have a union. If more companies had unions, then more companies would be forced to treat their employees like people. There's n

A 2.5% annual wage increase doesn't even cover inflation over the past few years. That is a complete non-starter.

You are comically uninformed. If the NYT were even remotely progressive, they'd have been consistently flogging the living shit out of Donald Trump and his idiotic, dementia-driven behavior behind a podium for months now instead of pre

It's called jealousy. They've got all these big brains and nuanced thoughts and somehow not a one of them accomplished something that got that kind of recognition at that age. Didn't have the motivation? So what? They did. Th

I use three types of tools in the kitchen: For anything that requires cooked goods to be intact, I use metal. Spatula, fish spatula, and a large spoon for serving. For anything that is going to be stirred, I usually use wood. It's hard

It still takes activists to prioritize it, because otherwise the task just gets lost on a list of things nobody will ever get to.

Ever stop to think that the fancy restaurants they're going to are using these artisan bakers? The vast majority of high-end restaurants are not baking their own bread or doing their own pastries. They're outsourcing them because

The 3am baker currently exists because the people who benefit the most from the exploitation of labor have the extra money to buy artisan products. My great grandfather had a bakery. He and my great grandmother would bake their product and

Only difference between internet slapfights over superheroes and the Crusades is that we aren't starting hundred year long wars because Superman is better than Spider-Man.

You are painfully unaware of the difference between being a Youtube video creator and being a streamer. Mr. Beast is not a streamer. He is a packaged video creator. PewDiePie is a reaction video creator who occasionally streams. They are no

I disagree. For one, Bork had already been refused a seat on the Supreme Court. Secondly, it's the first time that a mainstream political party ever succeeded in "othering" another group of straight white capitalists purely w

There used to be a time when retired US politicians with decades of service were still respected in retirement. Granted, this was before Gingrich's hyperpoliticizing of every bit of minutiae in America. Then Fred Thompson, not satisfie

Meanwhile, I'd be working a backhoe in the middle of nowhere Louisiana if someone hadn't put books in my hands and forced me to read them under penalty of failure. Standards aren't standards because they're fun. They&#x2

I come from a small town that is dominated by chemical refineries. I know people who are electricians, HVAC repairmen, plumbers, pipefitters, and process operators. You know what scares them more than anything else in the world? A corporate

Sanctions are hurting Russia financially. Putin doesn't care because he can extract wealth from oligarchs in whatever manner he sees fit. That's the benefit of being a dictator who has a wealth of knowledge on how to watch his own

If the past 8 years have shown us anything, it's that we are capable of electing incredibly stupid people who likely would get us into war if being blown back into the stone age weren't a possibility. I like nuclear weapons for th

The entire purpose of nuclear armaments is to make certain wars too nasty to fathom engaging in. If their organization didn't exist at all, we'd still have exactly the same number of nuclear war casualties since the 1940s.
