How are you going to "stand with" them? Will your members continue to work on Disney projects or will they have the courage to stage a walkout?

The problem is, he doesn't just frame the other side's argument in its most fair form, he often gives it legitimacy and rationality that they never intended or possessed. Pretending grifters are actually trying to accomplish good distorts reality just as much as a strawman argument does. 2/2

I've learned from listening to his podcast that Ezra's favorite rhetorical tool is "the steelman" (i.e., the opposite of the strawman). I'd never heard the term before listening to his show but he's probably said it a dozen or more times this year. 1/

Mark, you left out what's happening to those of us with private, employer-subsidized insurance, where costs are also skyrocketing and coverage is shrinking. It's all terrible. Half-measures have failed.

No doubt, it's just that they seem to be doing everything possible to ratchet up the punishment this year.

My bosses - with various companies over the years - were uniformly terrified of being accused of liberal bias. Trump is just building on the foundation created by Limbaugh and many other demagogues.

As someone who used to work in local media, I can tell you that is not it. Instead, media companies have been bullied into bending over backwards to avoid complaints from the right. It goes back to Rush Limbaugh, and before, but Rush was very successful at creating the myth of the left wing media.

This is getting to the lie the Trump tariffs are based on: the idea that it's possible to quickly replace foreign products with American-made alternatives. It certainly can't be done in 3 months and it can't be done affordably.

I don't understand why you're so hellbent on defending a guy who will go down as the person who did the most to enable the Trump fascist takeover. Biden's inability to sell his policies as president hobbled the entire party and his disastrous reelection campaign handed the government to Trump.
