I certainly can't fault anyone for taking that outlook

For me I take the Frank Constanza stance: "I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it!"

True but for many you don't know you can't hack it until you try. It's a natural transition point; can't handle the math for engineering? Become a CNC machine operator

I work in audio visual, we are always, always, always short up for skilled people and it's a very STEM adjacent area.

If you want to use David Zaslav as the arbiter of quality children's programming you go right ahead.

Welcome to making science content for the masses and all ages, you do have to simplify things a bit.

I don't think it was PBS that was stopping local broadcasters from doing that up to this point, PBS exists because most places do not in fact produce such content given their own initiatives. Video production is more accessible today than anytime in history, nothing was stopping this.

STEM students who can't hack it should be shuffled to the trades.

Oh college students are supposed to spare the feelings of conservatives. Maybe they need their own safe spaces they clamored against for rage bait for so long.

By conservative media I mean the entire apparatus from Fox, to the alternative cable networks, to the social media influencers to the podcasts to the Youtube channels where they are all lockstep in talking points and messaging.

Where do I get my viewpoints from? Probably what youd call "liberal" media but I almost don't really trust them so I like to look at source documents because most headlines and "just so" narratives (like all colleges being dominated by super progressive wokies) are true a littl ebit but nowhere near the degree.

Also I'm not the one out ehre making really strong claims with really strong opinions and when pressed if they are accurate respond back with "well, let me go ask gpt if that's actually true"

The way they got so big wasn't that they were super efficient they just went around buying up their competitors and they happened to have some venture capital because bezos had some connections through his parents.

If we had proper antitrust law enforcement someone would have noticed ages ago that Amazon was going around buying up competitors and shut that down but well, we don't.

So now we've got a handful of retailers and they are all basically owned by the same handful of major shareholders so they all have the same prices and those prices keep going up because good luck starting a competing retailer.

> Apple builds the handset, the OS and the store

Remember, when iPhone came out there was no App Store.

That was a separate business that came later, competition was prohibited, and by prohibiting competition rents were extracted.

This is called "illegal tying" in the law.

First off that's talking about guests, guests aren't typically paid for appearances you silly goose.

Also how many liberals are guests on Fox, Newsmax, OANN, etc? Also they don't mentioned if the I'm sure reputable journalists at... let's check, fucking Newsbusters (says a lot about your media diet) did their journalistic due diligence and asked PBS why that was the case. Maybe they ask a bunch of conservatives and they get turned down because so many of them prefer to go to their multitiude of safe spaces where they can circle jerk each other and never have to face a challenging question (like the President!)

Yet again, if you all want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine by all means, let's have at it but you all are the ones who killed it.

They're gonna install malware on your device but heaven forbid your website sets the wrong cookie, then they're fining you 6% of annual revenue.

When did East Germany win?

I will take your non answer as "yes, i get this viewpoint from social and conservative media". Moving on.

Point out where I said that.

Banning arguments or speakers is cringe and should not happen on campus but again, I don't think that happens as much as conservative media wants us to believe.

If you are ideas are unpopular or you are dogshit at arguing them out (most conservatives today) that's different, that's called get better arguments.

Not the college kids fault the conservative movement is bereft of principles or ideas. College Republican groups exist in like almost every school, their elders have just left them adrift outside of support of Trump.

Now tell us how long it took to put this together, what all the data processing time cost and compare that to the day or two to pay a competent editor to put a recap together.

I swear half the things these companies want to replace employees with is literally just malice, they just hate having to acknowledge some people have skill syou have to pay them for, it eats the executives up. They don't care if it costs more so long as some employees get screwed, they need to know their place.

Turns out you were a woke DEI hire all along.

Also let's not beat around the bush, when Trump says anithetical to the United States he means himself. Antithetical to him. Not allowed!

They are as subservient as the managers and owners want them to be, most engineers are employees. \

But they are way way more beholden to the finance guys today than say 1940-1970.

Do you attend or work at a university or is this all coming from alternative and social media reporting? There's a pretty stark difference between say, law and economics departments and your liberal arts department.

Colleges are filled with 18-24 year olds, how do we expect them to act? Also you're in college, you're not supposed to be "avoiding" alternative viewpoints and arguments, its actually where youre supposed to confront and discuss them, you're supposed to have some radical thinking in college, it's the last place you can do those things before adulthood.
