There's that too yeah

2018-10-25 18:24:01 UTC  

And tbh they're 100% free to do that, or should be in any case

2018-10-25 18:24:14 UTC  

Just like I'm free to never touch prime or aws again

2018-10-25 18:24:53 UTC  

If Amazon is free to hire ideologically, businesses should be free to conduct their businesses ideologically.

2018-10-25 18:25:04 UTC  

I think so, too.

2018-10-25 18:25:08 UTC  

But my understanding is we have government legislation to stop exactly that.

2018-10-25 18:26:45 UTC  

That legislation promotes ideological hiring of non-whites and females.

2018-10-25 18:27:27 UTC  

There's no getting around the anti-meritocratic aspect of legislation that stops the hiring of white males.

2018-10-25 18:27:32 UTC  

And demands that the business provides universal service for some groups of people.

2018-10-25 18:28:37 UTC  

Actually depending on your state and your business you can totally deny service to whoever you want

2018-10-25 18:29:10 UTC  

I suppose states can let you ignore federal laws.

2018-10-25 18:29:17 UTC  

But I'm not sure they'd let you ignore the civil rights act.

2018-10-25 18:29:24 UTC  

There was also the gay cakes case

2018-10-25 18:29:29 UTC  

I agree with allowing a business to deny service on its own terms unless there's an antitrust issue.

2018-10-25 18:30:25 UTC  

Baking seems to be a pretty competitive industry so I couldn't care less if a baker wants to turn down gay cake business.

NYC news conference re: bomb threat <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdyhBb1Wj3w> (starts at ~45 min mark)

2018-10-25 20:30:49 UTC  

Officials declined to answer whether or not the devices were genuine explosives or meant for intimidation only.

2018-10-25 20:50:02 UTC  

This is my shocked face.

2018-10-25 21:04:42 UTC  

they probably just did keyword searches

2018-10-25 22:12:27 UTC  

styx is close i think. maybe not spot on but close/

2018-10-25 22:12:55 UTC  

it really wouldn't be a surprise if it was the left who started the whole bomb scare

2018-10-25 22:13:26 UTC  

I didn't even listen to this video until now, and I knew exactly what he was going to say.

2018-10-25 22:13:44 UTC  

I called this yesterday, I think before this video came out.

2018-10-25 22:14:01 UTC  

Everybody seems to have the same suspicion.

2018-10-25 22:15:31 UTC  

All damn propaganda.

2018-10-25 22:20:30 UTC  

Not a surprise? I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

2018-10-25 22:38:44 UTC  

Well lets cover the first important thing

2018-10-25 22:38:47 UTC  

Does it matter who this is?

2018-10-25 22:39:19 UTC  

I say no, for two reasons.

2018-10-25 22:39:27 UTC  

1. Whoever did this is an asshole and should go the fuck to jail

2018-10-25 22:40:03 UTC  

2. The M5M won't ever report on it if it is a left winger, the moment they find out it is a lefty..then EVERYTHING goes quiet on the subject.

2018-10-25 22:45:37 UTC  

It definitely matters if it affects the election. Do you want people who would orchestrate this shit to gain power?

2018-10-26 00:42:35 UTC  

Meh

2018-10-26 00:42:45 UTC  

anyone who already buys into the "Right wing are evil terrorists"

2018-10-26 00:42:52 UTC  

already buys into it.

@Undead Mockingbird : "Everybody seems to have the same suspicion.
All damn propaganda."

Not 'everyone', sadly. Watched a conversation on another forum yesterday/today where an associate of mine raised the possibility of a false flag(possibility, not surefire knowledge of), and to this hour is still being slammed down by friends we've mutually known for *years* at this point as making as stupid a claim as being a flat earther
