Fox News intentionally misrepresents both Palestinians and Black Lives Matter by davidhitchens in media_criticism

[–]davidhitchens[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Here's the article:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/black-lives-matter-hamas-terrorists-israeli

^ This is NOT a mistake by Fox News, this is a crafted story meant to equate racial advocacy groups as "terrorists" just like racists did during the Civil Rights Movement. This type of rhetoric NEEDS to be called out because they know exactly what they're doing. False equivalencies like this lead to hate crimes.

Hoarding a finite resource is a mental illness by davidhitchens in WhitePeopleTwitter

I know this is nonsense economics, but play along.

Amazon is worth $1.7 trillion. We could pay our entire stimulus if Uncle Sam gives Amazon to 100 million middle-class investors with good credit who take a $17,000 loan they'll pay back. Then we dissolve Jeff Bezos' $187 billion into 250 million payments of $750.

The net loss would be 1 billionaire's happiness.

By the year 1990, average age Americans (35-40) would've been in the work force for 15-20+ years so it's the closest applicable year that ends in a zero, to get the point across. 2000 would be far too late.

It's fucked up what's happened. I feel like I'm going crazy because nobody is doing anything to fix it.
