When an employer allows what is clearly KKK hate speech by an employee on their premises, despite having the right to forbid it, it is quite reasonable to assume that employer shares that employee's support for the KKK.

Even Hersh's article lacks any kind of supporting evidence, only siting a single unidentified source. His story is plausible, but plausible does not mean true.

A friend's neighbor just fell for this. She received a call from the "nicest" Microsoft tech and decided she'd let them into her PC. Within 10 minutes after hanging up she received a call from her bank asking if an $800 debit was valid. It took her weeks to clean up the mess.

+1. I bought a high end Samsung tablet. In less than a year they disabled the IR app completely. Their customer support said too bad & fuck you.

Last Samsung I'll ever buy.

When there are adults in the room, they don't have to like each other to work together for common goals. The current GOP/MAGA "If the Dems are for it we're really against it" is comical. I never thought I'd see one party become the party of Putin and Russia largely because the other party sees Putin and Russia as clear adversaries. As has been said so often, this timeline sucks.

3rd parties are essentially meaningless in the U.S. except as spoilers and you know it. By far the most effective way to create change in the American political system is to push one of the two parties to take up the positions you advocate. Moaning and groaning about other "political bodies and philosophies" is just hot air at this point, and you know that too.

Whatever happened, the robot rebellion has begun.

"Destroy", "death", "scourge", "irredeemable monster wearing flayed human skin"

Yawn.. Instead of bloviating about destroying both parties you might consider working to build one of them up the way you want them to be. I get it though. Building isn't for the lazy, it is always much harder and more time consuming than burning things down.

Target's grocery prices are really high and their selection is mediocre. I can go to different stores and save 20%+ on many items.

Maybe shoppers are just pulling back on groceries at Target.
