I deleted my social media apps a while ago but remembered that I have friends still on this app who lived through formative years following 911. It’s okay not to have a take, and be exasperated at the dumbest possible response from our government.
The New York Times refers to "many thousands" of civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, rather than the actual *hundreds of thousands.* Earlier today, Politico did the same. Failure to record the scale of slaughter is not just an error. It is denialism. https://t.co/oPQo2rVGv5
@brianloveswords Dude, thanks for this. I’ve seen it used so much in tech and it’s gets exhausting to keep calling it out (which opens up the potential for conversations on topics I do not want to be having with clueless co-workers if they double down on the metaphor)
@menjivar I think the low amount and uncertainty around the stimmies made it a pretty bad experiment for any UBI signal. It’s hard to make plans and work towards goals without consistent stability. Most alternative options were pretty bad too, e.g. unsafe, low paying service jobs…
