Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

“Omg Virginia is going full defund the police because they passed laws where cops can’t bust down your door and shoot you”.
 
Included in that suite of bills that go live in a few days is a 3% increase in police pay, an overall increase in police funding, and better allocation of funding to prioritize descalation training.
 

 

 
Conservatives are so indoctrinated its laughable.

@Zincy
 
Just the other day Chris Wallace of Fox News actually called out Jim Banks on the hypocrisy of the topic. Jim Banks, alongside literally every other Republican in Congress, voted against the latest Biden legislation. Chris Wallace pointed out how that very legislation had a huge (and disproportionate) allocation of money for policing, and that it’s hypocritical of Banks to vote against that bill while saying to Wallace’s face that the GOP “supports the police” while Democrats “want to Defund The Police”.

@Zincy  
Oh wow. 50 cents. The horror.

Toyota assembly plants in the US are clustered in the southern states. They notably produce the Tundra, Corolla, Highlander, Avalon, and Camry. The Tacoma is primarily Mexican-produced. And the Supra is a Austrian/German BMW, just some funfacts.

Right Wing Watch has been banned from Youtube.  
Styx response  
I’m sure their auxiliary channel will be taken down too since Youtube doesn’t allow you to have others if you’ve had one suspended.  
I’m honestly surprised YT did it. They must have really violated the ToS to get the banhammer (if they did in fact do doxxing that would be a good reason). Guess they could always try Bit Chute.
 
Edit: Looks like YT gave them their account back saying it was a “mistake”.

@lonewolf  
After review, the ruling on the field is reversed. Right Wing Watch is back.
 
This is why you don’t leave moderation up to The Algorithm.

Word is that some Pro-Trump fellas on Twitter have been passing around a video which allegedly shows an undercover FBI agent amongst the crowd of rioters.
 
Now, I haven’t seen the video myself due to not being able to track it down yet but keep an eye out if you’re using Twitter.
 
See if its legit or nonsense.

@Background Human
 
That’s why you don’t leave ANYTHING up to an algorithm, especially not one made by the blockheads YT likes to hire.

@Background Human  
@Kazapsky  
YT Uploads are so great that it would take something like a sextillion years to watch everything.

@CaptainXtra
 
We were all having a good laugh on Twitter as to why we thought that was: Toyota wants to get its foot in the door before the competition for the next civil war.
 

@Wiimeiser  
You don’t need a human to look at every video. Whenever the algorithm flags an account, a human can take a look before just deleting someone’s account.

@Ebalosus  
I’d love to see a Tundra (Toyota’s big full-size V8 pickup truck) or a Tacoma (their mid-size truck) be converted into a technical, myself. Small trucks aren’t that popular here in America - hence no US Hilux models.

@CaptainXtra  

 
Has no one managed to find this video?
 
I still haven’t come across it.

@Natry  
That wasn’t the case with all of those New Lunar Republic videos a few years ago. Some bronies never got their accounts back because their claims got auto denied right after filing them. I was lucky it was several hours before I noticed my account was suspended and filed an appeal, and by then they realized their shit system screwed up.

Despite being one of the first states to cut enhanced jobless benefits, Missouri has seen no significant rebound when compared to states still running the benefits. The job market there is still stagnant, and unemployment hasn’t dropped any faster than when compared to other states.
 
 
The reason is simple, it wasn’t the jobless benefits that were the problem. It’s that no one wants to be a wage slave and work for pennies.

@Zincy  
So does that mean they’re essentially on strike?

@Goku Black
 
In an ad hoc sense possibly.
 
The wage structure will have to change. These businesses are going to start dying at an exceptionally fast rate and they’ll have only themselves to blame.

Biden has compromised in his deal with some politicians, including some Republicans. Among the parts scrapped for the compromise include climate change programmes.

Take note of “THE DEPLOYMENT WILL BE PAID FOR BY A PRIVATE DONATION”, portion.
 

 
There’s seriously something wrong there, as in some part of that can’t be entirely legal.

Facing a worker shortage, some big businesses are turning to prison labor. With Russell Stovers allegedly being one such case.

@Zincy
 
I remember when we were threatened that management would replace us with robots if we asked for higher wages.
 
Guess that was a lie too.

@Dustcan
 
AI is actually replacing jobs at a rather unnerving pace, unfortunately.
 
These greedy assholes will do everything but pay people a living wage.

Boring news cycle deals blow to partisan media [Axios]
 
TL;DR: Ever since Trump is left office, the ratings for news from both political sides have been tanking. The ratings for the Far-Left news outlets dropped by 27%, Moderate Left news outlets dropped by 17%, Mainstream Media outlets by 18%, Moderate Right news outlets dropped by 27%, and Far-Right news outlets dropped by 44%.
 
In other words, everyone has lost interests in the news ever since Trump left the White House.

@NitroFury  
The question is, does that mean a drop in polarization, or something else?

@NitroFury  
Honestly I hope it stays that way. You can tell how desperate people are when they’re still bringing up Trump long after he’s been gone.
 
I mean look at Talk shows. I think John Oliver is the only one I can think of who isn’t still trying to bring him up at every turn
