"I came across Bezos' opinion piece in his own newspaper and found two (at least two statements) I feel lack credibility.
One is this: "We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement." Mr. Bezos, you are also failing on the first. Your statement that you are failing on the second of course doesn't imply you are failing on the first; however, you are.
And the second is an outright, if not lie, a mistruth: "Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, “I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.” Many people ARE influenced by your or any news outlet's endorsement of a candidate or issue. That you said this implies either you do not understand human nature, or you want to stay in business. In either case, well, in either case it is misinformation or as the Left likes to call it in conservative leaning outlets, 'fake news'." - 77Posted by $ SpiritWoman 1 day, 13 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] If you want to learn about humility and patience, try sitting in a wheelchair and walking with a walker holding onto everything you can for 8 weeks! If I can locate a doctor with brains, I'm sure i WILL RECOVER. I've been passed around to sixTo explain the gutting of the American healthcare system, let me first explain that I worked in the industry in the 'eighties, researched and studied the situation, and due to my math background, as other wise persons also knew, realized what was happening.
And that was this: Providers---hospitals, clinics, and doctors---contract with the government, and private insurers, to discount prices and rates. The Medicare contractual was upwards of fifty percent off, and Medicaid up to 70% discount. Contracts with private insurers were not even close to those amounts. The upshot is that in order to stay in business, providers had to raise their prices to extra-governmental payors. So, in essence, private healthcare insurers were subsidizing Medicare and Medicaid. (Private pay was never contractualized.) Pretty easy to understand, right?
But as an unwilling 'advisor' to the government, at that time, I explained all this. Yet in his September 2009 speech to Congress, Obamma perverted the concept, actually twisted the rationale and reasoning, and said that private insurers were subsidizing Medicare and Medicaid. Which was evil itself, as it was anti-math and anti-reason.
But even more evil, and this is when I realized there was rottenness in this country, ALL OF CONGRESS stood up and applauded! Applauded the perversion of reason itself!! - 78Incentive hits the skids. And homelessness, of young white males, is limitless.
- 79Yeah, well, okay, whatever.
I know sarcasm when I see it. - 80Posted by term2 1 day, 14 hours ago to They're Getting NervousThe end result of the leftist thinking is that people will slow down or stop working since they get freebie benefits anyway. That means there will be less money around for the government to steal. I know that I really dont want to work anymore given all the talk about wealth taxes, higher income taxes, etc. I mean WHAT FOR?
- 81Posted by term2 1 day, 14 hours ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One YearWhat I meant is that AI can provide more information to make the actuary predictions better. Eventually, AI will be able to do anything humans do- I mean after all the human brain is something that eventually will be understood and artificially made to produce the same results. Its just a chemical and electrical device after all- just happens to be in humans.

LA Times not to endorse either Trump or Harris.IF Trump wins, the win be only be for 4 y ears of court battles and then the eventual fall into destruction of what we know of in the USA. Too bad
- 84Posted by freedomforall 1 day, 14 hours ago to Los Angeles Times leftist editorials editor resigns after owner insists on balanced coverage of presidential candidates.

But Venezuela is an even better place for the leftist brain-addled.
Bezos bailed on the WaPo endorsement of sKamala, too.

- 86Oh, and I do believe the KGB was involved in planning that 'collapse'.

I've been passed around to sixI could say that your problems might have been handled more appropriately and successfully, had Obammacare not gutted the healthcare system.
And I will. - 88Perhaps you are not aware that the collapse of the USSR was a 'planned collapse'.
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union, (CPSU) was outlawed after the collapse, by Yeltsin. I believe though its legitimacy was re-instated, as the Russian Federation was expected to give any political party validity, in order to 'join the free nations of the world'. - 89I wonder, too, if freedom can make a comeback, and think not.
And yet, it happened in Soviet Russia. Some intelligent, self-respecting people (Solzhenitsyn, Gorbachev, etc.) realized what was happening to the people of Russia, the strong and intelligent people, and made plans, long before the final collapse, to change, to become free, like America.
You are aware that it was a planned collapse, aren't you? - 90Posted by $ Radio_Randy 1 day, 15 hours ago to Los Angeles Times leftist editorials editor resigns after owner insists on balanced coverage of presidential candidates.

Wonder if she'll apply to the Washington Post? - 91Posted by $ Thoritsu 1 day, 16 hours ago to Los Angeles Times leftist editorials editor resigns after owner insists on balanced coverage of presidential candidates. LA Times not to endorse either Trump or Harris.I read that Bezos himself stood in front of the endorsement, and I had the same conclusion.

- 94Posted by j_IR1776wg 1 day, 18 hours ago to Rules For RadicalsYes but we who love life have not figured a way to do as you suggest in, at least, a thousand lifetimes.
If you've calculated a way, please share.. - 95A lot to sift through...
No way I can be thrilled at the possibility of not only having a second election stolen, but who that would install as prez.
Yeah, the corruption is front and center, but so what? As deeply rooted as the corruption is, there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
If she's president-elect on November 6, she wins. The DS wins. The onslaught against our republic is over. Bad guys win, good guys lose. End of story.
Trump may be the post popular president in history, but again, so what? If they succeed again in preventing him from sitting in the White House, his popularity doesn't mean a damn thing, other than in our "I remember the good old days" conversations.
Sorry to be such a downer. - 96I would answer no to both your questions. There's a reason it's called a "point of no return"; one crossing it, there's no way back.
- 97Posted by Dobrien 2 days ago to T minus 168 and countingYou should be thrilled. It’s the first election where you can see the corrupt uniparty in full day light. Should you be less scared having Obama gone through two Obama presidencies ,and not understand he was installed. This attack on US has been going on for decadesBeing awake is a gift. If she wins? Cheating and stealing is not winning. Anyone with eyes can see Trump is the most popular president in history. Period. Fight for your Freedom and life , don’t cower. Perhaps a sting operation is underway.
- 98And talking about human nature, I have a thesis, that started to form within me after reading Loren Eisley's "The Immense Journey", about sixty years ago in college. And it is that the childhood of mankind and the childhood of man are mutually recapitulative. That is, development of the child psychologically and in maturity parallels that of the species.
My point being separateness (of ego) is a later development in both species and individual. Evolution favors the development of the individual. Any ideology that prevents that development, or causes regression, as Marxist thinking does in any form (the collective) prevents evolution of species.
And in cultures where "individuals" have not yet separated completely from the mother, other individuals, and the community, are more prone to dependency, and actually are culturally dependent. That is why communism appeals to the blacks descended from Sub-Saharan Africans, both New World and Old World.
(I have several years of biology, other sciences, and math under my belt, in case you're wondering!) - 99And if it did, do you think there would ever be any way to get it back?
As bad as America is now, rotten to the core, there is still more freedom here than any other place. My youngest daughter traveled through Europe, and worked in London for a while. But she came back home, (after I spent about $2,000 to have documents translated into Italian so I and she could get dual citizenship---she wanted the dual citizenship so she could work in Europe), but she came back home, and that is because she wasn't used to the socialist atmosphere. This was in the early 2000's.
So if freedom dies in America, can it live anywhere else? - 100Agree completely; the two ideologies cannot co-exist. One is the ideology of sanity, logic, objectivity, and as you point out reason and human nature. The other is the anti- of all of them.
And freedom dying is one reason why this election scares me. That outcome seems quite possible, a concept I never thought I would consider, much less admit to.
