On one hand, sure... everything you said.

On the other hand, Memphis.

Too be fair, that group virtue signals like it breathes. It is as deeply ingrained in them as their DNA.

The art world has been worse off ever since.

I mean great for whoever was able to get some sucker to pay that, but I prefer my art and architecture to bring beauty into the world.

You can make whatever argument you want about whatever statement you think the piece makes, but it honestly brings nothing worthwhile to the world.

1. Higher taxes on capital and lower taxes on labor.

Why should people who use their brains be taxed more than those that use their bodies?

2. Public wage insurance, which smooths out falls in income after job losses as workers find better opportunities (and therefore eventually pays for itself).

What a great idea! Public programs have been so successful at solving the issues they were created for!

3. Tax reforms to establish inheritance tax for the ultra wealthy to prevent the entrenchment of capital-owning elites (the true 1%).

This already exists in many states. Why do you want to create disincentives for saving for and providing for your family after your death? What percentage is high enough to make the jealous and greedy satisfied?

It really depends on the accent, they are not all created equal.

I could listen to this and not get tired of it for quite a while.

I wouldn't want to listen to Cockney gutter trash for a second.

6 should likely be higher, but it looks like she may be too stout. I reserve the right to move her up if a better body pic is uncovered.

First that fatty in the Tim Horton's granny video, now this. Reporter is fat, gap toothed, and has a football field of space between her eyes. These local stations are failing their cities, failing their state, failing their country, and failing the world. Unacceptable!

First, they are playing a shell game.

Second, even then, they are using a very specific definition of "involved."

They don't have the capacity to make a sandwich or start a crockpot, but they have the capacity to vote (if they don't have to show an ID, because they don't have the capacity to get one).

They don't have the capacity to operate a microwave, but they can navigate DoorDash, Reddit and TikTok.

They don't have to capacity to boil water or turn on an oven, but they have the capacity to lecture older generations about how the world should operate.

Seems legit.

To be fair, a large part of what currently passes as "black culture" is picking the most destructive or disruptive actions and then doubling down on them.

It's not evidence of anything. It's only an observation that had you taken the time during your stint at university to study basic economics, you likely wouldn't be perplexed as to whether a billionaire owning a money losing venture made financial sense.

Perhaps you should have rounded out all those super objective journalism courses with some basic economic courses. It would help shed some light on this situation you find so perplexing.
