Isn’t this all predicated on a manifesto that surfaced before the dust even settled? Also saw reports the manifesto was a hoax. Everyone needs to slow the hell down.
Essentially. Mass shootings have turned into a political spectacle at this point. It is it’s own version of a left versus right blood sport now, where everyone is quick to keep a score.
The media and entertainment industries specifically, since they own the eyes and ears of America, want to desperately pin every shooting on white conservatives. Any iota of evidence, verified or not, will get blasted into the aether as a boastful victory dance. Then they blast it 24/7 and glamorize it, and we get more copycats looking for desperate attention being further fueled by it.
Case in point, look how the media handled the shooter that was a Bernie supporter. Violence, compelled by a difference set of hateful ideas and language, but it was given a day or two and buried. No knee jerk reactions, no 24/7 parade of glorification and filth, just buried.
What if Rachel Maddow had a source inside the IRS who's trying to get at a folder that has trump tax returns and other financial details but doesn't have access. Source says they can deliver everything if Maddow can get some passwords on a thumb drive cracked. Maddow says she can't but to keep trying.
The author of this article suspiciously leaves out any formal definition of toxicity, but there is related work that does go in-depth into how to define it from an objective standpoint: https://perspectiveapi.com/
Using national numbers isn't really useful. The case study of the $50k ironworker in Seattle is well below the median for that city which has a median income of $80k.
Why are they characterizing $50k as "high paying?" That's median income for Washington state, and generally medians tend to skew low in terms of the lifestyle they afford.
Bmw will remotely disable a car if you don't use their batteries or have an authorized dealer install it. Would be cool if that sort of thing was covered.
Remotely? On what model year? Mine has the "anti-theft" system that disables all the electronics without a dealer-provided unlock code, but is a few years old (2013).
They need less surveillance because there's more "eyes" on the ground, and yet the biggest walkable cities that come to mind, nyc and London are the most heavily surveiled on the planet.
big walkable urban areas also happen to be less safe from crime, rather than safer as the author asserts.
You definitely need a citation if you're going to make a claim like walkable areas are less safe from crime.
However, we've also legalized killing people with your car if it's an accident (or you can plausibly claim such). It's not technically a crime, but it's still a bummer.
FWIW, that is the explicit mandate of the SEC. It could be a power grab, but protecting unsophisticated investors is exactly what the SEC is supposed to do.
