tamthebam Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 You could say the RC Church is a world spanning leviathan, albeit the Swiss Guard are unlikely to take part in any illegal invasions of oil rich states any time soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family. She is a former prosecutor who sent mothers to prison because of kid's truancy, refused to prosecute a single LAPD cop for brutality and refused early parole for convicts because the state needed them for slave labour. So it's not at all by association. I was just highlighting how the yank ruling class functions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) was it Buzzfeed that had a raft of articles spread out over a few years going "lol coal miners/manual workers should just learn to code!" and then there were massive redundancies made so the same journalists started getting fucking bombarded with "lmao just learn to code" stuff, some of whom took it very badly edit: ohhh there it is https://www.theringer.com/tech/2019/1/29/18201695/learn-to-code-twitter-abuse-buzzfeed-journalists Edited November 7, 2020 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually read the article you will see buzzfeed and others were mocking Tech Bros who were using Learn to Code as a cure all to America's problems. And the usaul bandwagoners of shitty capitalist policies jumped on board. Resulting in this Buzzfeed article... https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/should-you-learn-to-code None of these Learn To Code pieces were written by Buzzfeed. Of course since Buzzfeed is a left wing outlet, to the right wingers they must be WRONG and learning to code to save America is actually good. Hence arseholes throwing it in the face of journalists when they lose their jobs. America is wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is the Supreme Court. Obama's ex transport secretary works for Lyft and has already said they are going to roll this model out to other states. So basically crazily anti worker legislation put to a referendum where one side has unlimited funds to promote a false narrative about the proposition. What's even more crazy is Uber get to write the question and make it as confusing as possible.

They have loads of those types of questions in America, that's how weed became legal and gay marriage was introduced in CA.
