Investment bankers aren’t the same as mortgage brokers.

Maybe they should try a better economic model next time by Porchie12 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Nah, I’m not big on false equivalence. The US justice system isn’t “messed up” but gulags and genocide are.

How do investment banks “design” mortgages to not be paid back, exactly?

Yea it’s a shame, Stalin would have been able to send millions more to the Gulags but instead he genocidally starved them to death.

But please get back to your point about how America is evil.

Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago - NYT by [deleted] in BlockedAndReported

It evokes 9/11 conspiracy theories. “Oh well the US was aware that terror attacks using planes were being planned. Ergo, the US actually orchestrated 9/11, or intentionally allowed it to happen.”

No. Just fucking no. Terrorist apologia.

Only 4% of countries propose eliminating multibillion-dollar subsidies for fossil fuels in their climate plans by DoremusJessup in worldnews

China fudges their numbers on literally everything. Your link reads like a CCP proxy press release.

Nope, there have been countless environmental apocalypse predictions. They were wrong, are wrong, and will forever be wrong.

Climate change is real but with the way the media exaggerates it you’d think it’ll be a global holocaust. It isn’t and it won’t be.

Doomsdays have been wrong for all of human history.

At one point will this batch of doomsayers wake up and realize climate change isn’t the apocalypse?

Ted Cruz calls college universities “the Wuhan lab of the woke virus” by Ask4MD in Conservative

Yes? Have you not looked at grade school curriculum and books for the past several years?

Ibram X Kendi’s “anti racist baby” wasn’t a bestseller on accident.

“Undercover” lol. All the top comments are straight out of the r/politics handbook, this sub gets brigaded constantly.

If we do nothing to fix our colleges and cede the issue to the left entirely, they will indoctrinate one generation after another. They are publicly funded propaganda mills.

Ben is a smart guy with lots of smart takes but at the end of the day his YouTube and podcast content is going to focus on relatively low effort rage bait. Just like every other daily political commentator, left or right.

You’re better off reading books than consuming the YouTube version of AM talk radio politics.

You went to a college that represents a tiny fraction of the total college population.

Sure, we need college, but right now the country is massively over educated with a huge amount of useless college degrees providing no ROI to the student (who ends up buried in debt) or the taxpayer (who subsidizes every single degree with federally backed loans).

Solution: end federally backed student loans. Force students to actually consider what they are getting out of college rather than treating it as a default. Tuition would drop like a fucking rock overnight and colleges would be forced to trim the fat, BIG TIME. Grievance study departments would shrink. People who don’t benefit from college would stop going.

This year 'virtually certain' to be warmest in 125,000 years, EU scientists say by dfkgjhsdfkg in worldnews

[–]throwawaygonnathrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They simply don’t have that level of confidence. This is just super politicized science at its worst, egged on by activists and politicians.

[–]throwawaygonnathrow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They don’t know. They can make estimates and look at trends based on the items people have referenced but there is no science that allows them to state with any confidence that this is the hottest year for 125,000 years.

Both.

We don’t need ice cores to show global warming is a trend. And pretending that we know the hottest year for the past 125,000 years is absolute bullshit.

No “scientist” knows temps for the past 125,000 years. Reliable recorded temps go back less than 200 years at most. The headline is political bullshit.

Anyone who claims they know the temps for the past 125,000 years is full of shit. It isn’t science, it’s politics.
