meatsauce··on Notice of termination of Twitter merger agreement
Well twitter is a cesspool of bots, mostly international actors, so I don't see how material facts are a problem.

So there is no difference between "spam" and emailing someone information they've requested?

Emailing your audience, who has a legit interest in your products, is not spam.
meatsauce··on The local news crisis is deepening America's divides
No, not geriatrics. 40 to 60 year old men and women who have accomplished something other than lie well enough to get elected a dozen times. Each should only serve a max of 8 years before another is voted in.

What else do you think we are allowed to enjoy?

Oh like alcohol, cigarettes, and other substances that are legal?

We already have enough youthful political activists that are 100% disconnected from the real world.

Why would we want the youngest, least experienced, most ideological, and frequently petulant to elect leaders?

More youth voters won't fix a thing. It will, in fact, make things a lot worse.

1972: UN Climate Barker - "We only have 10 years left to fix the climate"

Looking at today's calendar, someone should tell the four horses of the climate apocalypse that they are 50 years late.

What a nonsensical conclusion

You could say that but you'd be wrong.

Without the EC, you'd have mob rule, which would eventually decay into a tyrannical regime. Please read the federalist papers. All of them.

Do baseball teams win the world series based on how many fly balls they catch in a given year?

Does NASCAR bestow awards based on how much fuel you used?

Does Wimbledon award prize money for how fast you smack a tennis ball?

Using an irrelevant metric to claim a make-believe victory is simply childish and emotional.

Presidential candidates win elections based on the electoral college votes, themselves decided by the popular vote outcome in each state. In 2016, Trump won more states, thusly more EC votes. Therefore he became president and Hillary was sent back to the over-priced lecture circuit.

Any other metric you use to decide who won is simply self-delusion.

Sure it is, and no where did I do such a thing. I merely pointed out the mob attacks that occur when you don't put the pride flag above everything else.

How dare you do regular business and try to grow your company, quality of life, and QOL of your customers?
meatsauce··on Supreme Court limits EPA’s power to cut emissions
Congress has plenty of time and money. They are too busy jockeying for votes to do anything. The problem with congress is that they are too focused on winning elections instead of doing the GD job. I view this as yet another reason why we need strict term limits for members of congress. There are too many leeches.

A mob of LGBT allies will make your life a living hell if you don't pledge total fealty, so yes, they are fundamentalists and zealots of their own little religion.

It doesn't have to be that way. The USA has more than enough energy reserves, however international lobbying and bribery ensures foreign influence.

No, we, the alphabet mafia, demand total fealty ...or else.

Where can you get a dedicated for 40?
meatsauce··on Amazon is intimidating and harassing organizing workers in Montreal
Amazon starts at $18/hr.

You want $100/hour to pack and move boxes? Start a moving company.

Healthcare isn't a right. It is a luxury. Self defense, free speech, freedom of movement and association; those are human rights. Healthcare is only expensive because of the multiple layers of government and private corruption, litigation, and pie-halving. At the same time, Healthcare can save your life; what is your life truly worth? A $10 co-pay?

If we had a good education, then people wouldn't be whining about $18/hour.

Safety? Such as being insulated from ideas & opinions you don't like, or having zero risk for electrocution in electrical contracting?

You can work someplace else if you hate the company. Imagine that.

That still doesn't answer the question. Nor does it address the issue of people who abuse policies, such as those who hide in the bathroom for 1/8th of the shift.

This isn't the 19th century anymore. Unions had served a good purpose, but in no way do they serve the interests of everybody, especially in modern society given labor laws. My experience in several unions only demonstrated how corrupt, inept, and self-serving they are.

Why do leftists believe they have the right to tell others what their interests are?

"I find Reddit rather tolerant"

Only if you subscribe to the group think.

The truth is that reddit is one of the largest collection of bigots on planet earth.

"run it however you want"

This isn't true. You either get in line or your community is banned.
