If Mort Divine ruled the world

Based on the survey results, Tobias Konitzer, the co-founder of PredictWise, investigated which demographic characteristics seemed to correlate with partisan prejudice. He found, for example, that age, race, urbanicity, partisan loyalty, and education did coincide with more prejudice (but gender did not). In this way, he created a kind of profile of contemporary partisan prejudice.

......................

Nationwide, if we disregard the smallest counties (which may be hard to pin down statistically, since they have fewer than 100,000 people), the most politically intolerant county in America appears to be Suffolk County, Massachusetts, which includes the city of Boston. In this part of the country, nine out of every 10 couples appear to share the same partisan leaning, according to the voter-file data. Eight out of every 10 neighborhoods are politically homogeneous. This means that people in Boston may have fewer “cross-cutting relationships,” as researchers put it. It is a very urban county with a relatively high education level. All these things tend to correlate with partisan prejudice.

Culture of poverty. What's not addressed is what is undergirding the culture.

"Nobody is perfect"....."Mistakes will be made".....She obviously went to PR school.

From the research/researcher on the effects of $15 minimum. Precisely what one would expect: Disadvantages those on the lowest rungs; disadvantages the customer.

Joe: (in the context of the Twitterverse having a left-leaning bias ~29min) In general, things lean far more to the left, would you agree to that?
Vijaya: I don't know what that means.

Are you fucking kidding me? One of the most obvious lies/question dodges I have ever seen in my life.

Also said they had never heard of/didn't know what "intersectionality" means or something iirc. Sure.
Tim Pool went on Rubin right after and says he thinks Jack Dorsey isn't on the same page with the Twitter bureaucracy, while Ms. PR most clearly is.

Jack Dorsey does come across as a lost puppy in pretty much all of his public engagements.

Still watching the podcast, but I came across this now. For anyone interested, here is where it starts:

edit: rewind maybe 30 seconds to a minute, it's right around that point though.

They basically just mumble in contusion about it.

And at 1:32 cunt face basically admits that most tech companies are liberal, which is the first instance in the vid of her even acknowledging the political spectrum. Almost immediately after Jack basically admits that Twitter has a left leaning bias.

Tim Pool went on Rubin right after and says he thinks Jack Dorsey isn't on the same page with the Twitter bureaucracy, while Ms. PR most clearly is.

Jack comes across as more of a reasonable liberal, whereas Vajayjay is basically lying through her teeth with every word, and denies any sort of bias or right-targeted banning offenses. She continually digresses into "I dont know", "we arent perfect", "thanks for your feedback", and "we will consider this in the future" type of responses whenever she is backed into a corner, and you can just tell that she is being entirely disingenuous. She knows and has opinions on everything brought up, but is completely unwilling to expose herself and feigns ignorance at every step. She is disgusting.

But that's why she's getting paid big bucks as a PR person. Just doing her job. She's much better at it than your average journalist, which is why she's not spewing BS on webpages of the MSM.

Edit: I listened to about 2hrs of it, finally had to turn it off, after Ms. PR was clearly going to continue the rest of it just being a sack of shit.

In an unrelated announcement that will probably shock everyone, I'm officially on the Yang train for 2020.

 

[CiG]

Joe really knows when to let it roll and when to chime in. I was surprised by how well Tim Pool did, not very familiar with the guy though.

how can you be on a UBI guy who doesn't discuss any of the economics of it? or has truck driver Dak taken over

I'd be in favor of the 1k per month to every american who makes under a certain amount, if it means the complete erasure of all other federal transfer payments and related bureaucracy. Obviously that's not precisely what he's promoting, and generally speaking, UBI isn't a workable program. Fortunately, the president doesn't have the ability to unilaterally implement a UBI. What a President does have the ability to directly affect is Foreign Policy. And Daylight Savings Time.

He's a lesser of evils from the Democratic Party. I like Gabbard on FP as well, but her domestic views and family baggage are a bit much.

She definitely does exercise some restraint, that is for sure.

Same. Seemed like most of the relevant things to be said were already said at that point.

Joe definitely picked a good guest for this discussion. I never heard of Tim, but he really knew his shit and pressed on a lot of relevant talking points.

And Daylight Savings Time.

Just wait for the Time Dividend being paid back in November, with zero interest.
