It's a national federally funded organization and they want to chat on about justice and fairness, literally asking in order "how does this effect diversity? oh. How about equity? oh. how about inclusion?", and it's such a surprise that it costs a trillion dollars to not plop a choo-choo from LA to SF when everyone "feels like it"? It's gross, it's gross to me. Stick to the news.

What you are describing here is very clearly a you problem and you’ve somehow convinced yourself that it’s someone else’s problem.

This user must be a bot check the comment he replied to be me higher in the thread. It almost looks like a valid response but actually jumps around to different issues right wing people have about the news.

The last section is the most telling.

I mean this is just one case, I didn't cherry pick this, I peeked at a few previous episodes to find an episode where there was indeed a professor for the feature interview. It's uninteresting because it's basically become a platform for regulatory capture. It's a wellspring of obviously non-universal ideas like, "there is no right way to integrate AI and primary education", "the federal government should subsidize a…

> it's literally just an authoritative "intersectional" quiz about how AI/Education crosses with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,... a dumb question. What's an "authoritative intersectional quiz"? >Maybe it's because I'm not a politician or a philanthropist.. Your accusations were about professors so why are you bringing up politicians. Also a philanthropist doesn't have people under his control. >...delegating and…

Did you watch the YouTube timestamp? Do you know the difference between audience and subject? Do you know that we don't all live in primary school? Can you list any 7 buzz words I've raised that didn't come immediately from the YouTube timestamp?

It's no coincidence that at a time of eroding democracy, public journalism is being cut.

Nothing erodes democracy more than government funded propaganda.

Most of your comments on this site are apologia for China's government.

Again, this would be the Legislative branch. Your right to vote has not decreased, and you can absolutely contact your senator to introduce a bill for what you stated. I mean, you have a representative. Absolutely use them if you dislike something. However, disagreeing with the Legislative or Executive branch in no way erodes your democratic rights.

You're correct, the non existent democratic rights of the people have not been eroded. As you have you described, USA is a Republic not a Democracy.

Well, your democratic right would be to vote. However, as you said we are in a democratic republic where we don’t vote to make the laws but rather vote for representatives.

That's not true. I just point out obvious bullshit lies about china and others that I've heard over and over again. It's not my fault that people like you spout the same bullshit over and over again and mostly about china.
