@RonFilipkowski If they’re real Marines, they’re out of uniform. All are wear what appears to be rubber soled shoes. And, maybe patten leather tops … almost to shinny.
At least in my day (1965-1969), Marine Corp issued shoes (for enlisted) had leather soles and not patten leather.
@ricyap@CollinRugg If a college degree is a prerequisite to being able to talk about politics, won’t that disqualify a significant portion of Trump’s base?
Unveiling Global Inequality: The Biased Lens of Media Coverage
The wall-to-wall coverage of the Titanic Sub has once again shed light on the persisting racism deeply ingrained in our world.
While the tragic loss of life deserves our utmost sympathy, it is essential to acknowledge the stark contrast in media attention given to different incidents.
Just the same week, another ship sank, resulting in the deaths of numerous immigrants.
However, their plight has been conveniently overlooked by mainstream media.
This blatant disparity in coverage compels us to question the values our society holds dear.
The sinking of a ship carrying hopeful migrants from Libya to Italy, near Greece, should have resonated with the international community.
But as the world came together to celebrate the International Day of Refugees, not a single mention of this tragedy made its way into the headlines.
It is a sobering realization that our society seems to prioritize the lives and stories of the privileged while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the less fortunate.
The media's selective focus on incidents like the Titanic Sub reveals a disheartening truth: our world seems to care only about billionaires, disregarding the countless lives lost and dreams shattered within marginalized communities.
As we witness this unequal distribution of empathy and compassion, we must question the inherent biases within our society and challenge the status quo.
Let us not forget that the voices of the unheard are just as important, if not more so, than those amplified by the media.
The lives lost in the recent shipwreck deserve recognition, remembrance, and justice.
By acknowledging these neglected stories and advocating for a more equitable media landscape, we can work towards dismantling the systemic racism and socioeconomic inequality that perpetuate this skewed perception of value.
@reneknottsports Wonder what the cost per gallon is … without taxes.
Back in the early 60s, I remember “gas wars” where the price per gallon would go as low as $0.199. Normally, $0.299.
@GWhittonPhoto It’s my opinion that this “style similarity”, among the winners is a direct reflection of the judges’ own styles and preferences. Before submitting images to a juried competition, a photographer should carefully review the websites/portfolios of the jurors.
