Sounds like you're looking for a business-friendly video monetization platform rather than a way to share videos with your friends for free. Have you tried cable TV? How about YouTube, sounds almost perfect for what you want...
Breaking up the network effects that give rise to vapid social media celebrities who turn the Internet into a trashier version of cable TV should be sold as a feature rather than seen as a bug.
That can make sense, it still applies upward wage pressures onto the manufacturer - they lose productivity while the worker loses nothing. If the company was smart they'd raise pay enough to prevent more strikes and thus more losses of productivity. Then they'd both come out ahead.
Hmm dunno, that sounds like socialism. Why would they do that when they could order cheaper screws from China and add the savings to the idle vaults of people who already have silly amounts of money, while workers are pushed further into poverty, causing the hyper-rich to feel even even more like space royalty ruling over a penal colony? Isn't that the American way?
What union going on strike could have as big an impact as a ham-fisted trade war between two superpowers?
And we know damn well that the reason you bitch about it is because it works. Unions and collective worker action in general are the sole engine of human progress for the vast majority of humans.
Humans have been breeding crops into "frankenfoods" for thousands of years. The tennis-ball-sized tomatoes we have in stores now were bred from wild tomatoes the size of grapes. The big purple things we call eggplants used to be small white things that actually looked like birds' eggs. Corn is the biggest freak of all - look up Teosinte to see what that used to look like. We've been making "GMOs" since prehistoric times, just with more primitive "GM" methods. If there were dangers we should've found them by now.
It is a bad strategy. It misinforms (lies to) people about GMOs for the purpose of trying to constrain Monsanto's villainy which is a different but related problem. It would be better to tell people the truth: FDA-approved GMO foods pose no inherent risk to your body, and GMO crops are no worse for the environment or farmers than traditional crops, but Monsanto is a corporation trying to gain control over the world's food supply, and they sell the seeds for most GMO foods.
It's a bad idea for the same reasons that lying about global warming to try to trick the idiots into supporting the scientifically correct position would be.
completely corrupt DOJ and FBI which never prosecuted any process crimes related to Hillary (which would have required them to prosecute Obama who lied about not knowing about her private email server WHILE USING IT USING AN ALIAS). The Democrats and the establishment Republicans in Washington who all despise Trump have repeatedly told him they will impeach him if he "interferes" in the Obama team investigation of him, therefore Trump has been unable to do what all presidents before him have done: take control of the DOJ. We are still living under the Obama DOJ, with the "Trump appointees" being selected from a pool of Obama holdovers.
We're on very dangerous ground here: [a] Our system was not designed to have "special prosecutors" who are under the executive branch and yet not under control of the chief executive - Meuller is the most powerful and most unaccountable man on the planet right now, and he clearly likes it. Any future person named to such a post could be worse than Stalin.
Apart from the fact that Obama did send emails to Hillary's private server under an alias, this is all howling revisionist madness. First of all, the DOJ is NOT supposed to be under the "control" of the president. It's supposed to be almost entirely independent with the president having a very limited power to hire and fire a few key roles, which if done under the wrong circumstances could constitute obstruction of justice. You seem to think the USA was designed like a banana republic where law enforcement is under the direct command of the head of state - you're dead wrong.
Also the idea that Mueller is the most powerful and unaccountable man on the planet is shitgibbon lunacy. He's hardly any more unaccountable or powerful than any high-level US prosecutor. He has to work within the law and because a sitting president can't be indicted, his report will have no more power over the president than a strongly-worded letter as long as he's in office. He's not a rogue warlord throwing people in cages on a whim.
[b] If the public gets the idea that the establishment folks in DC can nullify any election and destroy any non-beltway non-insider who gets elected, the public may lose all faith in the federal government. There lies the path to something nobody should want to see: armed rebellion in a nation where over 300 million guns are in private hands and many of those gun owners are not only gun owners but also ex-military and capable of making ammunition and more guns.
Obama may have truly carried out his biggest campaign promise to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America.
Trump's election actually greatly reaffirmed my faith in the integrity of the US elections process. If there were any shadowy figures pulling strings in the background, they wouldn't have let such a dangerous idiot get anywhere close to the Presidency. And what did Obama do to create this situation? The DOJ functions the same now as it did before. He put a registered Republican in charge of it. Agent Orange is a career white-collar criminal who surrounded himself with other career white-collar criminals and they all continued to commit crimes, then they stepped right into the crosshairs of the targeting system for white-collar criminal investigations, the media outrage machine. And now they're going to get what's coming to them. Hillary is only a slick supercrook in right-wing imaginations, but Trump is a slick supercrook in real life.
Good luck with that armed rebellion. The US has too many guns in too many hands, yes, but it's still not a lot of hands for so many guns. Point 'em at the world's most advanced and oversized military, I'll get the popcorn.
Where did Comey say this? The only explanation I've seen for why he released info about the investigation late in the game was that he felt it was important to be transparent about the state of the investigation. But he didn't feel the same way about the investigation into the Trump campaign, oddly enough.
But if he was biased in favor of Hillary and he thought that releasing that info on her campaign would actually be beneficial, why didn't he also disclose that the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign at the same time? That would put some dirt on Trump and appear less biased, seems like a win-win. Odd that he didn't do that...
The same James Comey, former registered Republican, who chose to gratuitously kneecap Hillary's campaign at the last minute, is the one who could not justify bringing charges against Hillary. And you think she benefitted from some kind of privilege in that matter?
Also CNN had staked out Stone's house for days beforehand because they strongly suspected Roger Stone would be arrested. That's good ol' fashioned American hard work, don't Republicans normally pretend to admire that sort of thing?
Most countries don't engage in ethno-nationalism to any great extent - the US is one of the worse offenders right now. Stupidity knows no color. But if you want to argue that it does, better check what your house is made of before you throw stones...
These people will only be soldiers in the reserve army of the unemployed. I had it bad enough going into the workforce between the dot-com bust and the great recession, and I went into IT/compsci because it was something I liked and was good at, not just as a get-rich-quick scheme like many of these suckers likely did.
Yep, just paste Trump's face over Matt Damon's with MS Paint-level graphics work and his supporters will insist that it's absolutely real, infinity times more real than the moon landing...

It's just a bunch of A/C/T/Gs like the ones the corn could've picked up through random mutation, what are you worried about?

Oh, US government apologists, those aren't the same thing.
My tinfoilometer is going nuts at this post. Show me examples of these videos.
Informants aren't spies. Deal with it.
It doesn't matter who paid for the Steele dossier, not even the fact that the initial work was paid for by a conservative news site, because the Steele dossier isn't illegal evidence, isn't being used as direct evidence of criminality, and the law doesn't care who paid for it.
Keep telling yourself there's no evidence of collusion. Where there's thick, sun-blotting smoke, there's...nothing? Is that how the old saying goes?

Give it time, innocent people usually don't lie to investigators ;-)
To wit - he's being charged for a process crime
Process crimes are crimes. Should people not be charged for certain kinds of crimes?
No obstruction! No collusion! :-)

Game development is the coal mines of the software industry, these people must be masochists.
Yawn, ethno-nationalism is for dimwits.

True, but such amounts are rarely spent on something so useless or pointlessly ecologically destructive.
