  • Absurd news stories get more clicks, so the news is getting more absurd. Recently, things have legitimately seemed a bit more fucked up. I think some politicians, like MTG, recognize the more outlandish they are, the more coverage they get.

    While politics is everywhere and hard to miss, I dont have many conversations in real life about it. People seem to never really talk about it directly. You’ll get side comments or people alluding to the most recent thing, but thats about it.







  • If an employee is trying to skip hours, their manager has power over them. The manager can fire them, cut hours, or dock pay.

    If a manager is trying to skimp pay, they still have power over the employee. The employee cannot make demands to the manager because they have no leverage.

    But if all the employees join together? Now they have collective bargaining. This is what unions are for. Its to try and balance the inherent power imbalance.







  • I think that’s a bit of a stretch. Its entertainment and that’s why I watch it. But even my favorite podcasters are very clearly coming from an angle with their opinions. This isn’t a secret.

    Like, I enjoy watching Hasan. But the first show I watched of his was literally called “AgitProp” lol.


  • To be clear, this is not my chart. I strongly disagree with like… 95% of it. But news and politics is interesting to me, especially the agendas of the people speaking. So this is really funny to me.

    And its not just internet news that has a bias - everything will. Thats fine though, just try to understand the bias.
