"It is a transgression against basic moral values when injustice does NOT result in discomfort. "
If our purpose as a society is not to take care of each other then what is it? Taxation is the cost of living in a civilized society.

The DoJ just moved to dismiss its case against Hernan Lopez and Full Play Group, despite their convictions in the FIFA corruption scandal, and this comes only days after FIFA awarded Trump its new “Peace Prize.”

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

Man, cut the bullshit.
America is the way it is now because the people were unwilling to change in order to feel comfortable about a woman leading from the Oval office. Oh, but NO... Folks just aren't used to that. The comfort with what's familiar stood out more.
Both fucking times.
Basically.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
