Some points about my personal experience with Uber in my city: 1. Drivers listening to evangelical stations very loudly, spewing hate between musics. Most get angry if you tell to …

You should see the documentary PROPAGANDA: Engineering Consent, on Edward Bernays' theory.

What? A country has a "right" to spy on a foreigner in a foreign country?? So I guess Russia has every right to spy on americans, right?

I think he is saying the opposite. Also, having your health care, retirement and general well-being tied to a particular job reduces employee "freedom", which in his point of view …

Are you equating "left" to "Dems"? Because the left that I know is all against war and interventionism. Maybe there is something to be said about how people think Liberal means lef…

It is not a matter of whatabaoutism, it's a direct attempt to divert attention from wrongdoings, building a narrative that justifies imperialist actions by the USA.

The US has 800 military bases spread across the globe and is currently involved in many "destabilization" efforts (not to mention actual armed conflicts), all funded by billions an…

And finish before people lost interest too.

I agree that automation should be (and many times do) helping people perform their jobs (and daily tasks). However, those who are 'in charge' financially are actively seeking ways …

I agree that that is the case. Somewhere down the road some kind of intervention will be necessary, as too much will be on the line.

Your somewhat patronizing analogy misses the point. If our ultimate goal as a species is to survive and live well, then cutting hundreds of thousands (millions, actually, if you th…

Cutting hundreds of thousands of jobs seems very far from 'natural' or 'healthy'.

It's important to say it as it is. People tend to treat it as a 'natural' thing, instead of a business decision to cut costs.

> Second, the people who lose their jobs will move on to different and hopefully better jobs. They do move to different jobs, but most likely not better ones. An observable consequ…

I think a more accurate headline would be "Banks to cut 200k jobs over Robots". Robots don't take jobs. Managers replace workers.

> I imagine it also helps the platform hide and demote content that is ideological unfavourable or competitive to the platform. I'd say it also helps the platform hide a potential …

I agree with you. Also, they could be trying to hide their fake users problem. Source is dubious, but still: https://www.rt.com/usa/449733-facebook-fake-users-report/

I was pointing to an actual case of state intelligence working with private entities to achieve shady goals. It is well documented, not a "conspiracy". You are simply refusing to r…

You really should look into the Promis scandal, on how historically Intelligence agencies have used shady private entities in order to avoid public scrutiny. It's very didatic.

> does the article suggest evidence that Israel (or someone on its behalf) have done any espionage in US? Yes it does, many times. I'd also suggest you read the series on Epstein i…

Private companies and Israel defense and intelligence agencies have deep ties, and the article shows. For instance: > Mossad Director Yossi Cohen told the paper that the Mossad’s p…

For every kid that "learns his lesson" there are tons who don't, who don't have parents or hey are just too busy to "guide" them through this experience. The whole thing is designe…

Israel espionage? That's ludicrous. https://www.mintpressnews.com/cia-israel-mossad-jeffrey-epst...

I'm curious, do you have a source for the claim that uber is profitable in most of the USA? That goes against their disclosed info of huge annual losses.
