txsoftwaredev··on Fox News Is Sued by Election Technology Company for over $2.7B
CNN as well?

Some CNN lies:

1. "When President Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last November, the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. A video posted by CNN appeared to show Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted.

An unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first."

2."CNN claimed that only Democratic members of Congress gathered to pray before the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game — the first game after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed."

3. "After a May shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, CNN reporters immediately began claiming that there were 22 school shootings on the year.

However, CNN wildly exaggerates the number of school shootings by using methodology that includes accidental firearm discharges on school property, domestic disputes, and other non-active shooter events."

4. "Multiple CNN reporters speculated about the whereabouts of Melania Trump after a scheduled kidney surgery and then denied responsibility for any conspiracy theories about the first lady.

Media reporter Brian Stelter led his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on June 3rd with the headline “Melania M.I.A,” and insisted the first lady’s whereabouts were a “mystery” because she had not been seen in public since May 10."

5. "CNN fakes internet meme to smear alt-right. CNN told their viewers that this racist meme was going viral in alt-right circles. However it was revealed that the network actually created the image themselves in an attempt to smear Trump supporters as white supremacists. The internet did not exist on the internet at all."

There is so much more fake news from CNN than these few examples.

txsoftwaredev··on Amazon Warehouse Workers to Decide Whether to Form Company's First U.S. Union
I grew up relatively poor in Arkansas. I dropped out of college (thankfully fully paid for by scholarships for music) after a few weeks. I was pretty useless in my late teens and early 20s and "earned" the low paying jobs I had. I finally got my act together, started working help desk / IT support jobs. Then I learned enough to get a job doing web development for low pay. I continued to show my value to employers and my salary reflected it after time. No one deserves more money because they don't like their job.

Have you considered reaching out to some students or grads with debt and writing them a check to help them pay off their debt?
txsoftwaredev··on Amazon Warehouse Workers to Decide Whether to Form Company's First U.S. Union
I've worked painting dorm rooms. Worked cleaning out freezers in an ice cream factory. I've done plenty of crappy manual jobs. But I knew that's what I would get at the time as I was uneducated and unskilled. I was happy to have an income that relied on not needing any skills. Sorry you are annoyed, it's my opinion.

"Cancelling student debt will help a shit tonne more workers."

I will feel terrible if that ever happens for folks that were smart with money and didn't incur tons of debt. It's gonna be a real bummer when you learn that you paid off your educational debt or never had any and that now you get to pay off debt of others that made bad decisions.

How are they exploited? Is amazon the only company they are able to work at?

Amazon is a private company. They should be able to stop unionization if they so choose.
txsoftwaredev··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler
Milo was not defending molestation, context matters. If anyone that has made stupid statements in the past should be removed from social media then it's time to just shut it all down.

"I am a gay man, and a child abuse victim. Between the ages of 13 and 16, two men touched me in ways they should not have," he began a news conference in Manhattan. "This isn’t how I wanted my parents to find out about this either.”

"My experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say almost anything on the subject, no matter how outrageous," he said. “I do not advocate for illegal behavior...I believe the age of consent is right.”

- Milo Yiannopoulos

“I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be when people realize that this is a policy that they defend,” Pelosi said during a press conference. “It’s a horrible thing, and I don’t see any prospect for legislation here.” - Nancy Pelosi

Definition of uprising : an act or instance of rising up especially : a usually localized act of popular violence in defiance usually of an established government

I signed up and used Parler and I was never hateful or violent. Its purpose was not that but to have a place where conservative voices (or anyone for that matter) could speak freely without the risk of being silenced by Twitter, Facebook etc. because your views didn't align with the left.

If that's all you believe he'll be remembered for then you are willfully ignorant. Under his administration he has:

1. Brought black and hispanic unemployment to record lows. 2. The DOW tied the record for the most consecutive all-time closing highs in a row. 3. Signed the biggest package of tax cuts and reforms in history. 4. United States is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957. 5. Reduced illegal border crossings. 6. Improved relations with North Korea. 7. Promoted equitable and fair trade deals with a host of countries like South Korea, Japan, and other Middle East countries. 8. Signed the Right-To-Try legislation that allowed for patients to explore experimental treatments that have not necessarily been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

And many more...

They should have stolen some sneakers and televisions, that's what a protest is as I understand from the MSM.
txsoftwaredev··on We should administer Covid-19 vaccines as fast as possible, not reserve doses
"Officials in Orange County, Florida have confirmed that a motor accident death was initially included into the coronavirus death toll. It was later struck off the list, but not until authorities were challenged by the media.

Florida Department of Health in Orange County announced on Saturday that it no longer counts the death of a man aged in his 20s in a motorcycle accident as a coronavirus fatality.

The case “was reviewed and he was taken off the list for Covid fatalities,” Kent Donahue, spokesman for Orange County Health Officer Dr Raul Pino, told Fox35, which initially broke the story after perusing lists of official Covid-19 victims provided by the state."

Who knows how many more cases there are just like this. I don't trust the government's numbers at this point.

Masks are effective in a hospital setting with trained persons that know how to properly wear one and replace/clean. Wearing the same cloth mask every day while you grocery shop does nothing but make you feel better.

I spoke with a nurse while at gym I attend. She spoke about how the hospital she's at is not close to be overwhelmed. She also talked about she doesn't wear a mask outside of her job as they have training and n95 masks which work in a hospital setting. But outside of a hospital environment the masks provide little protection, especially cloth masks.

"Roughly 30,000 restaurants have already closed for good across the country, with more than 110,000 expected to shutter in the next month, according to estimates by the National Restaurant Association. ".

How did a virus cause businesses to close permanently? This doesn't happen during flu season or even with the h1n1 pandemic.

It's been included with their Google Fi service for a while. Unless they are planning on killing Google Fi their VPN service is going to stick around I would assume. But they did just kill off my nest secure I bought, which was very disappointing.
