He makes a lot of great points. Similar to the New Rules last week with Maher about China dominating when it comes to the ability to get things done.

The problem - with both, is that neither offer any sort of solution. Both are great at putting it into words, but how is it fixed?

Look at the most "shared" posts when they release the Facebook stats. Shapiro, Don Jr, Occupy Democrats. There are articles that write purely about the facts, and no one wants to read them or pay for then (compared to the others)

Hate and divisiveness sells. I have no idea how this gets fixed.

[MinnesotaFats]

Yeah, division makes it easy to sell advertising to target audiences and you're right, people won't pay for content.

Have to do something about media being as lop sided thou. Just this week the redactions and apologies about Trump/ Georgia came out, but it's too late. As well as factfinder on Biden.

Maybe remove liability protections to require more thorough information/ sourcing would work....

Maybe - but damn, that's a slippery slope.

People today, young ones especially, don't know how to interact with others, take criticism, overcome adversity or counter argue.

They just cancel or kill

Easy to blame them. They didn't raise themselves (well, technically they may have, but the did have parents who were supposed to raise them)

The State and progressive movement has made single motherhood a choice, and an easy one, and now, with Courts basically killing economic opportunity among men w oppressive child support rulings, the State has made Mom, daycare, school and moms grandparents the only human influence in a child's growth. There is no longer a place for alpha male or strong male in a child's life, and further, Mom is almost incentivsized to go on with more procreation sans dad.

I think this last stimulus round proved where the progressives are on that.

It's the internet that's doing it to them, God I miss going to the mall with a pen piece of paper for the numbers just chopping hoes.

Internet dating sites, Instagram, Tik Tok, it is the decline of society

Used to go to Har mar when I was with Verizon, it was the only Verizon shop in town at the time, this was back in like 2001 the place was a ghost town even then.

Never even heard of Apache

[BrickJames]

Mall of America!

Been so shit faced there so many times

[StackinGreen]

At this point the only way to save the Constitution is by military coup, creating an obvious paradox.
