Well I was thinking a teacher. That's how I learned, in mass media class. Thanks Ms. Bailey!

The author, Bret Stephens, inherited his fortune from a chemical company his parents built. Just for context as to why he defends a sleezy multi-millionaire

Bret Stephens is an absolute clown.

It's hilarious when people post the NYTrash as if it weren't complete imperial garbage.

Right now they have an article for the case against vigilantism. Fucking hell qualified immunity is state based vigilantism.

Some things they do well. Some things not so well. Doesn't have to be one or the other.

Stockholm syndrome

Angry rich kids jacked up on radical, nihilistic philosophies can cause a lot of harm, not least to the working-class folks whose interests they pretend to champion.

Or angry, greedy rich people jacked up on conservatism.

I was hoping it was going to be a satire OpEd, but nope. Mangione is just a disaffected radical rich kid he compares to Bin Laden and other terrorists who came from well-off families. The writer stops at Thompson’s early normal life and completely disregards the health insurance industry’s problems, which Thompson’s company was a major contributor, claims people are mostly happy with their insurance while the study has no “would you prefer to pay less and get the same service for single-payer care” option. It’s basically “do you like your expensive care you have little/no choice about?”

Dude wrote an anti-populist article to be inflammatory and told people to shut up because they like their insurance overlords.

told people to shut up because they like their insurance overlords.

Idiots keep answering these surveys like bootlickers than wonder why owners change nothing.

So they are able to use sample 20k to justify police for 300m people.

If you ever answer surveys like these, don't be a dumb ass. This is a class war, act like it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When the only questions to surveys are:

Do you prefer:

  1. A horse kick to the nuts

  2. Stabbed in the eye with a hot poker

You can say: 72% of people prefer being kicked in the nuts by a horse.

There is no “I’d rather have chicken” option.

So a few answering or not will make no difference when the options are restricted to funneling the answer they want to the top.
