They call those “podcasts” nowadays. But in the spirit of your question, I’ll say my favorite is Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.
OK, but we have to make it absolutely crystal clear who is doing this, who it’s hurting, and who is benefiting. That’s why reporting like this is important.
Trump just won an election by blaming democrats for Trump’s own terrible economy.
I think a good start would be to stop allowing Republicans to raid Social Security for quick cash, like they’ve been constantly doing since the Reagan administration.
Yes, it’s a payroll tax. Your paycheck may show how much you are paying into Social Security. This is money meant to help you and others after retirement. Musk wants to take that money and instead use it to fill unrelated gaps in the federal budget, gaps caused by Trump’s tax cuts for the very wealthy.
Friendly reminder that Social Security is a separate government program that funds itself.
What Musk is talking about is stealing from Social Security in order to cut taxes elsewhere (namely cutting taxes for people like Musk).
TL;DR this is related to Tesla’s Autopilot (the rule “requires automakers to report crashes if advanced driver-assistance or autonomous-driving technologies were engaged within 30 seconds of impact”). Musk wants to not be held accountable for damages and casualties caused by his shitty software.
You’re right, and that one isn’t even hyperbole. They earnestly want to turn the parks into oil fields and cut down the forests.
This has to have been some kind of clerical error, there’s no political motivation whatsoever for Biden to have done this.
That being the case, keep publicizing the story, and maybe it will get to the administrations radar. Have the clemencies already been actuated, or is there still time to correct the mistake?
The postal service doesn’t lose money, it costs money.
By this logic, the interstate highway system and the military both lose billions! Is Trump going to privatize them too?
“Unpopular Opinion: [popular opinion]!”
Staying home was, in effect, a vote for indecency.
Don’t call it an oops.
This was either a massive lapse of bureaucracy, or it was a massive lapse in judgement. Either way, in my opinion it is one of Biden’s biggest mistakes in his entire four years of governance.
Well that’s a fucking oops by Biden. Most of the clemencies on today’s list were ~1500 nonviolent drug offenders who deserved leniency. How the fuck did Conahan manage to slip in with them?
Behind the Bastards did a series on this guy. TL;DR the guy deserves a hell of a lot worse than life in prison.
If voters demonstrated one thing this year, it’s that the decency of the candidate is utterly irrelevant.
Here’s a more general report that delves into your question: https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/global-study-on-homicide.html
By far the biggest reason is that ~70% of those homicides are crime or gang related, and almost all of those are men, which neatly accounts for the disparity.
That of course raises the question, why are men so much more likely to get tangled up in gangs or crime? I’m sure that the sociologists have a more nuanced take, but I’ll venture out on a limb and say it’s because men are full of dumbassifying hormones. Being immersed in societal peer pressure probably doesn’t help, depending on what environment they’re in.
This goes without saying, every country will levy retaliatory tariffs. It’s one of the reasons random tariffs are such a stupid idea to begin with.
Yep. A 10% tariff will mean that every other country has 10% more purchasing power compared to the US. It’s basically shooting your own economy’s competitiveness in the foot.
Thank you.
To be fair to the Guardian, their headline is substantive, compared to the other article that just gave a number without context. The report does clearly support the assertion that on average home is the most dangerous place for women to be attacked.
