> The Federal government is enforcing long-standing statutes. You forgot the very important word "selectively". They are selectively enforcing long-standing statutes, which is probably illegal and is 100% obvious corruption.
For my entire life I've never seen the feds do anything other than selective enforcement. See the latest disclosures RE: Zorro ranch and little saint James as recent examples.

This is just not accurate. Privious to this censorship-push since 1983 there had been a carve out for talks shows and it correspondly has not been enforced since the Regan administration. If it was, Fox News would be in violation 24/7.

I read it as a pretty straightforward acknowledgment that we’ve reached a point in public discourse where people pay at least as much attention to who is making a point as we do to the actual point being made. I wonder if finding common ground is even possible as long as that kind of tacit…
I was actually thinking the opposite. I sent my wife this text message: Nonsense world when a comedian doing a late night show is the person willing to say something It's not his job I'm glad he's doing it, but this is like watching the McDonald's workers Narcan people as part of their daily tasks For reference she worked as a manager at McDonald's and would regularly have to deal with people ODing in the drive throu…
Corporate doesn't realize that forcing people to do nothing and watch others die might be bad for morale? Corporate doesn't realize that people regularly dying in their drive through without assistance is going to be an enormously negative PR hit if it ever comes out? Corporate doesn't even realize that people dying in the drive through is going to leave their drive through plugged for a long period of time?
I am appalled. Even ignoring the cold-hearted lack of empathy, I have a hard time imagining that this is even in their best interest.
