  • We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the posting.

  • While I love seeing Chinese officials school news organizations, etc., in their own laws and regulations. The guy, David Sedgwick, whose book she mentions is a weirdo conservative. I have not read his book, but here is an excerpt from an amazon review:

    Sedgwick believes that the main driving force behind BBC bias is a crude form of cultural Marxism which has infected the Corporation progressively since the 1960s. The targets of cultural Marxists are typically straight, white males. Sedgwick believes that the BBC is hostile to Caucasians; Britain; British history; conservatives; Margaret Thatcher; patriotism; American culture; Israel; Republicans (e.g., Trump, Reagan, Bush); the white working-class; Eurosceptics; Christians; nationalism; and capitalism. He claims it promotes climate change; diversity; LGBT rights; feminism; mass-immigration; cultural relativism; multiculturism; globalism; Islam; the Palestinians; Democrats; and the EU. It is also obsessed with political correctness and wokeness. Sedgwick argues that the BBC’s political agenda is subversive, and it wants to overthrow and replace the country’s traditional values and beliefs.

  • they come unarmed (no theory)

    I've seen plenty of wikipedia links they didn't read either

  • This emoji is massive when viewed outside hexbear lmfao

  • What the fuck are you on about? I'm talking about the lemmyverse/federation.

  • The old federation is dying, the new one struggles to be born. Now is the time of unlimited China struggle sessions.

  • An expansion of the Child Tax Credit that focuses on the 19 million children who are shut out of the full credit because their families’ incomes are too low would come at a modest cost. For example, making the current law $2,000 credit fully available to these children would cost roughly $12 billion per year in 2022, according to the Joint Tax Committee estimates.

  • Seeing as this is coming from the CEO, I do not trust this to be true, or is overstating it to make the public think the drivers are "greedy" or "overpaid". They also want to blame a bad year of revenue on this, which is bullshit.

    Looking at the average hourly listed for full timers @ $49 (which is great tbh) works out to about $101K before tax. I'm not sure what kind of benefits they are getting, but $70k in benefits is suspect.

    Also, the part timers are still starting at $21, which extrapolated to full time hours is $43k. Not sure if they get benefits.

    The quote is saying that "drivers" will average $170k, but that doesn't specify whether that is including full and part time. I'd also like to see what the ratio of part:full time is, because I can only assume it skews towards the former.

    I'm happy to see the teamsters got a good deal, but lets not trust the numbers the CEO is spitting out...

  • sorry but democracy is clearly when private capital writes legislation and senators who were paid by them pass it

  • To hold up the comically large spoon inside

  • I didn't know there was a video of tank man until like two years ago. It was always shown as an image with the implication he was then killed
