  • “The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision-making at Walmart,” the company said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch.

    Walton has also made clear that she paid for the ad herself, and that it represents her own views.

    I 100% believe billionaires shouldn’t exist, are a millstone on the neck of society and progress. I’d also support any action that would take care of the problem… But I don’t think you link shows much more than a single deplorable person experiencing a twitch of morality.



  • For me, personal justice almost has to be punitive. But I’m an asshole. And more importantly, I’m not society, just an insubstantial slice of it. Any study on how to deal with crime shows that punitive measures rarely, if ever, increase the wellness of society. Rehabilitation, understanding, hippie dippy shit, has a much greater positive impact on society, as hard as that may be to stomach. Facts are facts, regardless of feelings.





  • I was a supporter of my local NPR station for decades. It’s crazy how far right the coverage has gone. Slowly over the years, then really hard in recent months. It’s like they’re desperately trying to show that they aren’t left leaning, by going way the other way. I’ve heard long interviews with wackos from things like The Heritage Foundation all the time, with little to no pushback on the BS. I watched a magat congressman interviewed on PBS the other night with zero pushback to his bullshit magat talking points. The list goes on. I stopped watching/listening to them, but I’ve been kind of at a loss as to where to check up on news. AP or Reuters is about it, I guess.
