The CDC lied to the public, knowingly, on multiple occasions. Of course that would lead to a complete loss of trust. This isn't surprising, and it was called out as a huge problem from Day 1. And yet here we have Rochelle Wolensky the

> Interestingly, it was News Limited (parent company of Fox News) that championed these laws I don't think it's surprising that authoritarians like those at Fox News would support authoritarianism.

Also, this is the Atlantic. Them cheerleading neoliberal globalization is like Tesla saying we need to buy more electric vehicles.

Makes sense, considering the close relationship Intel (and Microsoft) have with the US surveillance apparatus. Better to keep open an avenue for covert monitoring.

This was more of a "what does 2+2 equal" question though, so it wouldn't require the OP to answer.

This entire post has a huge blindspot. The US has been invading countries (does anybody know how many?) for decades and delivering democracy from the barrel of a gun. The US is the leading proponent of this "globalization through democ

This is a logical fallacy though. Looking at the current makeup of a group doesn't prove systemic discrimination. Look at the NBA for instance, would we assume there are rules favoring black players which would explain their over-repre

Violent crime is at some of the lowest levels we've seen in decades. A slight uptick compared to the pre-Covid, but way down compared to prior decades. Sounds like the solution is to stop spending so much time on social where the algor

Probably more for the younger readers, but "Stop blaming others" is great advice. Individuals, systems, history etc. - you name it. You can't change the past and you can't control what others do, but most of the time the

The same reason that has been true since the beginning of civilization - resources are limited. Also, not all cultures align. Hundreds of millions of people are very much against some of the values that you may hold dear. If enough of them

Alright, what about 32 weeks? 24 weeks? 18 weeks? There has to be a limit somewhere right?

OK, what is the limit?

Both ways, or just employer -> employee? If someone takes 46 weeks off, how should that be handled? Full pay?

I understand it's in the news now and it's timely and all that, but sites have been using tools like ArticleForge for years now to generate content that games the Google algo.

> It doesn't even make sense to do layoffs today when you expect trouble 6-12 months later. It makes perfect sense. In fact, it would be crazy to wait until a bad thing happens to prepare for it.

I think promoting the non-enforcement of garbage laws is a benefit to society. Just a few years ago things like weed, gay marriage etc. were all illegal, so supporting them just because they're laws is silly.

But based on this study showing that the IRS spends their time and money making life worse for low and middle class taxpayers...why would we want to give them more money and resources to do that? Maybe there is a great ROI on going after pe

One could argue that giving one side enough support to keep fighting, but not enough to win, causes long term damage to them. The US did something similar to Iraq against Iran in the 1980's and we also used the Mujahedeen(the basis of
