Motherfucking analyst used the term "wealth transfer" regarding salaries? You can kindly fuck right off.
It's exactly what's wrong with our economy, people have forgotten companies can be both profitable and provide workers sustainable wage increases to a fair market rate. They aren't mutually exclusive events...
seems like hiring a right wing shill who is also a climate denier may not be working out as planned the best thing to be in political journalism seems to be a right wing writer who can walk and chew gum, seen more of these goons get elevated post election than any other
He's clearly telling the truth, he doesn't like to drink purified urine, he likes to drink natural urine like god intended.
It was a moronic move on their part. They've had a subscription swell with Trump and they're pretty much going to blow through it all. It's a sad state when you have to employ someone who's views are counter factual to even the scales of "partisanship"
is cancelling your subscription bc of normalizing ignorance.... part of the sweet capitalism free markets game or antifa berkeley free speech suppression?
dissenting points of view are cool and all but it's dangerous and irresponsible to give a platform to share viewpoints that are inherently wrong
giving someone an opinion column so they can discuss tax reform is different than someone saying science doesn't exist
hopefully they follow up on this guy in a few years so we can all have a feel-good read about him dying

I don't disagree. I'm just saying the NYT opinions page is completely separate from the NYT. canceling a sub in some sort of protest is a little over the top
those lines are blurred in modern media its dangerous for the NYT give the appearance of normalizing some of these positions
New book. Talks about corporate groups like ALEC workIn at the state level to destroy unions, cut unemployment benefits, child labor laws, Wisconsin, eliminating public schools and whatnot.
Apparently she never listed herself as a minority, not that facts matter anymore and whether it's true or not they will continue to claim it is.
i dont really care either way. and anyway, i'm more interested in what someone says than who they are, or at least i try to be. i still think the john barron thing is hilarious, though.
It is not the same thing. If she was Cherokee it would be the same thing but he is making fun of a lie not her heritage.
My post was not a shot at you, it's more of a comment about the mouth breathing Trumptard who tweeted about Warren. I simply quoted you because I took your post as you mocking the absurdity of the tweet.
If Obama said he could trace his lineage back to slavery, would it be acceptable if he were referred to as Kunta Kinte?
Anti intellectualism is and Will continue to have massive repercussions on our country and economy. Supporting it by hiring idiot science deniers and giving them a platform and normalcy only legitimizes them Fuck nyt
Are you serious? If you think calling a black man that and calling a white woman pocahantas is the same thing I don't know what to say. It's almost like asking if calling Obama a "nigger" and her a "cracker" is the same thing.
you're quite a bit off base here big dawg. Just because the word doesn't have as bad of a stigma doesn't make it any less inappropriate in this context
what if he called someone developmentally disabled rain man or Forrest Gump instead of "retard" - would that be more appropriate?
This smells like you're trying to defend your ability to laugh at racist rhetoric more than anything.
I said it was inappropriate awhile ago. I am just saying it is not the same thing. I don't think calling a white woman "pocahantas" is racist. If someone called the NAACP white woman woo claimed to be black a "N" I'd think they were inappropriate. I'd think they used a racist word but I don't know if I would think they were racist against her. Look Warren is white trump is being an ass. But, I don't know how he is being racist if he knows she is not Cherokee (or from any other Indigenous nation). He is making fun of her "lie" not her race. As for justifying my ability to laugh at racism well not really becaus Louis CK taught me I can laugh at just about anything. I don't need a reason to laugh at something I find funny.
If they started claiming unicorns were real or publishing pictures of bigfoot, I'd prob stop giving them my money
