I missed the England part. It makes sense over there to those fascist morons, but I was fooled into believing that was a thing here. That's how terrible our society has gotten or will get to if we don't change this shit.

Pretty sure they use similar technology to identify grow houses here.

What a piece of shit.

I don't have a problem with that, them using it to target "covid violators" is pretty damn draconian tho

Deny may have been the wrong word. For a bit they declined to answer the question.

No, deny is the correct word.


"First, the visual in question was not created or distributed by Goodyear corporate, nor was it part of a diversity training class."

You have a link? Because, I will boycott the fuck out of those fuckers if I hear actual audio. Goodyear has denied it was in an actual training session, and if the proof is there they actually did this, then fuck them.

WALSH: Leaked Audio Suggests Goodyear’s Discriminatory Policies Are Even Worse Than First Reported

After a leaked slide from an employee training course at the Goodyear Topeka plant went viral, revealing a discriminatory policy that allows “Black Lives Matter” and LGBT shirts and apparel but not Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter, the media has been scrambling to come up with some sort of...

That's completely different.

I was telling my wife this morning how amazed I am that these politicians, one, got elected in the first place, but two, get reelected. Boggles the mind.

Makes you wonder. Even if you take individual politicians out of the equation and just look at the end results after decades of the same party in control. It's always someone else's fault I guess.

Then you get the people who know better, or at least have common sense enough to try something different, just pack up and leave because there's no hope of getting a different voice or different ideas in there. The sheep that are left behind are too dumb or brainwashed to do anything different. Sprinkle in a little corruption and everyone gets a shit sandwich.

It doesn't help that incumbents rarely get challenged because parties - both parties - would rather keep an incompetent or corrupt incumbent in office than admit there's a problem or risk losing an office that they see as a birthright. Then the type of people who will just hold their nose and vote for whatever candidate has the correct letter next to their name don't have any choice.

And then the next candidates in line are pushed forward based more on how much appeal and charisma they have rather than what ideas they have. The party machine has already decided the ideas, that's not for candidates or god forbid you or I to decide.

Until the parties start being motivated by what's best for the country instead of the party, things won't be as good as they should be in this country, and the problem cities and districts will never get better.

You guys have heard of “Proud Boys”, I’m sure.

They’ve been cracking down on them since they were formed, and they’ve never been anything close to as bad as ANTIFA or BLM.

The right needs to start cancelling and boycotting, it’s the only way to stop cancel culture. They(leftists) know conservative leaning people don’t usually engage in that, we’ll stop buying certain products or supporting products, but we usually don’t start a national uproar, we just make the decision based off of how we feel, for the most part.

Trump calling for a boycott of Goodyear, which I don’t particularly like, is probably the start of the right engaging in cancel culture out of pure necessity.

The main problem I have with Trump’s response to the Goodyear stuff, you can’t ask a company to allow political garb unless they are only allowing one view. That would be a problem. Asking them to allow Maga hats and shirts is crossing the line.

Now, BLM vs BlueLM is a whole other issue. That is what should land GY in hot water and why they are deserving of a boycott. Both movements transcend politics if BLM does.

That’s the way I see it.

The problem is that corporations have seized too much control in this country, the corporations control the media and they control too many of the assets, and the corporations are owned and run by leftists, sadly.

The free market is a beautiful thing but look at Goodyear. BLM good, Maga bad. Do what we say or else.

Republicans need a return to trust busting.

Totally agree. This is where politicians on both sides are bought off. Goodyear isn't the best example, because there's plenty of competition in the tire business. But they need to get back to breaking up some of these huge companies that have too much power. Just as one example, I don't think AT&T should've been able to buy DirecTv.

And obviously Google needs to be seriously looked at.

Disney needs to be looked at, as well.
