Probably not social enough for social media. My opinions have never been those of my employer.
They are racist against black people.
A significant portion of the immigrant community in Minnesota is black.
They expected you to hate like they do

The NFL lied about what the decision said and Schefter dutifully reported it. It just said they cannot release it publicly, so I eagerly await it being leaked.

This jives nicely with the fact that Politics (and thus, a lot of life) has become pro-wrestling

"Media" means more than the existence of good reporters and reporting, is what I'm getting at.

Doesn't your reporting need to be balanced against the mountains of media coverage of "CRIME EVERYWHERE!" in spite of the falling crime rates?
Agreed that reporting alone is not adequate. But media outlets clearly give undue weight to some stories to the extent that it creates false impressions.

Epstein Barr has also been proven to be a cause of MS, as well as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, some lymphomas and stomach cancers. I was never symptomatic for EB but my mother had it, and now I have MS. Someone is working on an mRNA vaccine that could effectively stop MS entirely too

I do not ever want to mess around with ***anything*** involving potential immune amnesia. Sounds like one of the worst things possible

Investment has a double-meaning here, I suppose. His various estates were lousy with hidden cameras and multiple people have reported seeing control rooms.
I don't think that fits a profile of just a scammer

Before recent revelations, this would have felt like the explanation which satisfied Occam's Razor.
However, now we have quite a bit more information which this fails to account for. E.g., Why the investment in surveillance tech if he was just scamming?

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.
But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.

Furthermore, crime is *way* down from the crime wave of the 70s-90s.

What's the evidence that this would help? Most serial killers tend to go uncaught because police here are quite apathetic about investigating murders of people who aren't well off.
I don't think this helps, but it *will* help ICE target minorities.
