If he didn't want his commentary on Sanders to be part of the discussion, he shouldn't have brought him up.

Eh. Idk. I think its unacceptable for a journalist to be using the c word unapologetically to describe other journalists in present time. But thats me.

But you do think the politicians who endorse the person who employ that journalist should share accountability for him using the c-word?

Yeah, because Sanders unendorsement honestly sucked and this happened this week. But this wouldnt stop me from voting from Sanders. Its a dumb choice and the egg should be on his (and Khanas face) for playing with this clown show.


And it's a ridiculous notion that Sanders and Cenk should equally share criticism over who Cenk employs at his network, let alone share equal criticism over what that employee says on his twitch stream that isn't controlled by that network.

I'm sure TC is far from the first person to try and implicate Sanders in Piker's comments. But the fact that it's coming from someone that has no issue bemoaning cancel culture or twitter outrage mobs when it suits him is laughable.

I criticized someone who employs a dipshit making misogynistic comments as a journalist and brought up how that person was endorsed (and half-heartedly) unendorsed by a presidential candidate.

you didn't "criticize" anyone since all you did was copy and paste someone else's tweet. The only place you even mentioned Cenk was in your topic title, and by that logic, you were being equally critical of Sanders.

I criticized Bernie for endorsing him; I didnt cancel or say he doesnt deserve your vote for his shitty choice. You can criticize politicians for making choices you disagree with, even if you like them

You criticized Bernie because someone related to a politician he gave an endorsement did a mean thing on a video game site. Unless we're going to try and pretend now that you had no intention of using this topic to implicate bernie in your bitching about this?

Also what did they generally do on it anyway?

They got banned for their Christmas Cast contest. For those who don't know, they do a special podcast every year for christmas where they do eating challenges with different foods and it usually ends up with a bunch of people puking. But it's an event they've been doing as long as they've had a podcast and they've never had problem with doing it on twitch before, and this year was actually one of the tamest christmas casts ever, so not sure why they got in trouble for it this time.

Revolving doors are energy efficient as they (acting as an airlock) prevent drafts, thus decreasing the loss of heating or cooling for the building.[1] Revolving doors were designed to relieve stack effect pressure in buildings. High-rise buildings experience immense pressure caused by air rushing through the building, referred to as 'Stack Effect' pressure. At the same time, revolving doors allow large numbers of people to pass in and out.

Why don't you try actually reading the articles you post, rather than just furiously googling "immigration wages us" and posting the first link you think proves your point. That article gives numerous factors that contribute to wage stagnation in the us and spoiler alert not a single one of them is immigration. Or do you need someone to sit you down like a child and explain to you how immigration can contribute to wage growth but still not be enough overcome the causes of wage stagnation? Because in that cause, your priority should probably be in finding a way to get your money back from whoever taught you rudimentary statistics.

god of the gaps

i'm aware of studies in both directions, but do not consider myself in a position to comment on either at this time

1: There have been numerous studies which demonstrate immigration has a positive impact on average wages, but not a single one that concludes immigration depresses the overall average wages of workers in the US. Even the most conservative research studies have only managed to show negative impacts on specific demographics in specific neighborhoods (i.e. unskilled laborers without high school diplomas) and even these studies still conclude that immigration to the US has a positive influence on both economy and wages for the native US population. The overwhelming research consensus on the topic points to immigration being a net positive for wages, and pretending there exists some major contention on that point among researchers or economists shows you're either lying or comically misinformed on the topic.

2:"god of the gaps" is not a synonym for willful ignorance, and even if it were, it still wouldn't be an excuse for making arguments that you cannot back up with empirical evidence.

true that the size of the pie is not fixed; it grows at a certain rate

when the pie grows faster than the population, wages rise and job availability increases; when the population grows faster, wages stagnate

bad monetary policy exacerbates this but that's another discussion, though it's important to note that the economic growth of the past decade is unsustainable and driven by dovish monetary policy; a bubble, if you will, and the real state of affairs will be ugly when it catches up with us

there is absolutely room for immigration but any policy that does not factor its relationship with wages into the equation is not approaching policy from an economically pragmatic standpoint

Do you have any evidence that actually conclusively demonstrates immigration having had a depressive impact on average US wages at any point in US history?

It's clear they just got halfway through making it a co-op Resident Evil but couldn't figure out how to fully implement a functional co-op system and so just ended up making the best of what they already had. So you end up with a lot of mechanics that don't really make function well as part of a single player RE experience and get in the way of the things that do work. It's far from the worst entry in the series, but it is very flawed.

75% of college graduates come from upper or upper middle class households and their median wages are ~20k higher than high school grads (non-monetary compensation gap is even wider) so... yes, they are pretty well off. And you're justifying a handout to them because they'll then hire poorer people like maids.

Trickle down economics is cool when it benefits me :^)

Which income groups do you think are the greatest beneficiaries of tax-advantaged investment accounts? We'll ignore for now the idea that earning more than a high school grad makes you "pretty well off" when the median income for high school graduates is barely above the poverty line for a family of four, as well as the idea that the financial burden of higher-education might just have something to do with the fact that lower-income groups are underrepresented in attainment of college degrees

Cool, lets talk about the facts. Denmark has less regulatory burden in regards to their healthcare system compared to the clusterfuck in the United States. Denmarks population is arguably in better physical shape than the United States due to diet and exercise which is also an external factor that needs to be considered when driving down costs, as Americans 1970s-present suffer from many diseases and illness that couldve been prevented with better eating and exercise. Denmark despite having universal healthcare, still do have a private sector for healthcare.

Bernie and Warren are calling for a complete dismantle of the current health system, throwing millions of people under the bus, and are calling for a complete overhaul and nationalization of the entire healthcare industry that we cannot afford for a variety of reasons.


1: Denmark has a larger number of agencies that oversee healthcare than the US and a higher amount of regulations on everything from drug and device prices to doctors so you're going to have to be specific about your claims on Denmark's regulatory framework. 2:Denmark's obesity rate is higher than both the EU and OECD average and only growing higher, and obesity is a major problem in virtually every modern developed nation, including those with universal healthcare and they still outperform the US's healthcare system. 3:Private healthcare coverage in Denmark only supplies supplemental and complementary coverage to public healthcare, plans that would exist under both Sanders and Warrens plans that have you so triggered. You have no idea about policy in Denmark, and even if you did you still wouldn't support their policies so that you're trying so hard to kill yourself on this hill is doubly hilarious.

Californias inflated housing/rent can be traced back to the 1970s when they started experimenting with legislation that sought to make it affordable to everyone. Prior to policies in that manner that have only expanded, rent and house prices in California were comparable to the rest of the Untied States.


The legislation you're talking about was introduced by a Republican and was intended to "make it affordable to everyone" through the trickle down economics you got so triggered about people bringing up earlier in this thread, so good job for proving his point for him.
