  1. Easy to paper over with new people on US Economy Added 178,000 Jobs in November; Unemployment Rate Drops To 4.6 Percent (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    The people from 2008-2016 that still have yet to find work still exist in large numbers.

  2. Re:Ah, the "We hate the US" platform? on Jolla's Sailfish OS Now Certified as Russian Government's First 'Android Alternative' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    No keyboard.

  3. Both have proven to be racist towards whites on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    BLM has committed acts of racism towards whites, if not sanctioning violence done in its name.
    The SPLC harbors racist views by refusing to classify the BLM as a hate group. In turn, the SPLC smears their critics with such labels.

    Martin Luther King Jr. would be disappointed to see such racism in this era, even if towards white individuals.

  4. Borders really don't stop the US if it's a problem that isn't a media-driven fiction like this.

  5. Ah, the "We hate the US" platform? on Jolla's Sailfish OS Now Certified as Russian Government's First 'Android Alternative' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Would be nice if they had a device available in the US that ran it, but they have personal vendettas to settle.

  6. You haven't answered the question. on Right-Wing and Fake News Writers Are Now Going After Elon Musk (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    And guess where by far the most prolific sources of fake news come from

    The left, the source of many (if not all) false flags for the last year.

  7. It's not fake news they're hunting, it's the truth on Crowdsourced Volunteers Search For Solutions To Fake News (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To the left, "fake news" is a smear given to anything that doesn't fit their narrative.

  8. Then it hasn't been debunked. on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It's only been whitewashed by friendlies in the media.

  9. The fascists aren't trump supporters. They're you. on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The angry, toxic crazies are you.

    You mean the crazies that have stolen cars just for being white owned ("We caught a Trump!") or vandalized for having a Trump sticker (where a silver Mustang was burned & spray-painted)? Or would you like to talk about the crazies in UNC Chapel Hill that called for actions against Pence?

    Interesting to see that facts get modded troll. But then they blew their modpoints.

  10. The NYT has gotten it wrong before. on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    While you approve of places that support racists like the BLM and the SPLC.

    The NYT's been fishwrap tier "journalism" for quite a long time.

  11. In other words, leftist-derived standards. on Advertising Company AppNexus Bans Breitbart News Over Hate Speech (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    We use a number of third-party standards

    All of which are politically-driven and support racists - as long as they're of the correct leftist stripe.

  12. The new hand-wave smear of 2016: "Fake News" on Right-Wing and Fake News Writers Are Now Going After Elon Musk (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Who needs facts when you can just say "Fake News" and "alt-right"?

  13. Re:Submitter believes the untruthful NYT? on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    At this point, I'm going to believe TASS before the NYT.

  14. The fascists aren't trump supporters. They're you. on Reddit CEO Admits To Editing User Comments Amid Pizzagate Malarkey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Because reddit has realised that angry, toxic crazies are making it miserable for the more sane majority - yet choosing to defend the crazies from the sane majority of Trump supporters

    You mean the crazies that have stolen cars just for being white owned ("We caught a Trump!") or vandalized for having a Trump sticker (where a silver Mustang was burned & spray-painted)? Or would you like to talk about the crazies in UNC Chapel Hill that called for actions against Pence?

    There went your narrative with those pesky facts.

    exactly what, a collection of gullible idiots

    Which refers to the people that believe NYT's non-dismissal.

    Pizzagate was dedicated to a debunked conspiracy theory

    Not only do they make bad networking chipsets, their audio chipsets are even worse.

  18. Re: Extrapolation? on Why Automation Won't Displace Human Workers (diginomica.com) · · Score: 1

    The developing world is having no such problems employing people or finding demand for labor.

    That's due to them being the receiving end of labor from Western nations.

    My view on this is let's first reward employers for employing people instead of actively punishing them

    Let's first disabuse the notion that the employer should be looked at as a $DEITY and that jobs are a manifestation of their benevolence.

    How about rewarding them if they do so within this country and putting citizens first (even if they have to do something unprecedented in the last 30 years, which is to train from imperfect fits)?

  19. Instructions from their government on the matter. on UK Plans To Censor Online Videos Of 'Non-Conventional' Sex Acts (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Lie down and think of England.

  20. Re: Extrapolation? on Why Automation Won't Displace Human Workers (diginomica.com) · · Score: 1

    These sort of phrases reveal economic understanding.

    FTFY

    There is always more demand for labor.

    Just not by the same people. Never mind the huge effort to have the labor & government side of the equation shoulder all the risk, training, and guesswork.

    If there's a constant demand for something, it's not labor, it's desperation.

  21. Reality begs to differ. on Why Automation Won't Displace Human Workers (diginomica.com) · · Score: 1

    What you call "economic literacy" relies on the assumption that no/negligible friction exists.

  22. To fisk your incorrect analysis... on Why Automation Won't Displace Human Workers (diginomica.com) · · Score: 1

    The wealth created by far cheaper production goes to employing people in other areas (for example, the one person of the above example will still have needs). The 99 people are now free to do other jobs.

    Which typically does not happen for the displaced. Case in point, the last 40 years.

    And with that labor freed, we have opportunity for more assembly lines to make more things. Finally, it's worth noting that all this automation makes human labor more valuable.

    Unfortunately, said displaced individuals largely do not have the resources or scale to be effective at such.

    Unless you all but force them to favorably reintegrate the displaced in new professions, you have it completely wrong.

  23. Why should we believe the leftists at Snopes? on Snopes.com Editor on Fake News: Social Media Is Not the Problem (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    They've been happy to carry oceans for the right causes, but not if it is an inconvenient truth.

  24. That article's got a lot of bullshit to claim that on Why Automation Won't Displace Human Workers (diginomica.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what was allegedly "created" if you're not doing something that directly helps the displaced.

  25. Except it was designed for celebrities. on New York's District Attorney: Roll Back Apple's iPhone Encryption (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet you fail to acknowledge that it only came about when compromising photos of celebrities started appearing on the Internet as a whole.

    It wasn't designed for the people at large, but for a small subset of their deep-pocketed customers.
