  • Yeah I have live YouTube TV and they no longer offer the MLB channel. I had got comfortable with You Tube in general because for years I have been watching the regular YouTube and I am paying for Premium, so there are no commercials. The only ads that you have to fast forward through are the ones embedded in the videos by the creators. The billing for both regular YouTube Premium and their TV product is smooth and hassle free. I have never sampled Plex or Hulu and just was wondering how they compare with the YouTube TV product. Regular Youtube has an MLB channel that I am subscribed to. They have game highlights.

    I will agree with your “moving the goal posts” comment. But my point is still that we all lived through a media barrage with everything positive about the vax. Even after they had to retract what they initially told us about it protecting you and others. Yet there has been no significant reporting on adverse effects. And I should mention I got the vax early on with zero side effects.

    I don’t believe that there are a significant amount of people experiencing severe side effects from vax or booster. But I find it absurd that government and media sources suppress the instances when they do occur. People should make their own risk assessment based on facts and not a false narrative



  • though I’m sure it exists I do not have a link to specific data. but I did see something just the other day about Austin, Texas. It showed basically a cut of one third in funding and approximately a doubling in crime. But the specific percentages are not critical because this is a common sense issue. Less cops more crime. Then add to it that in cities that do defund the remaining police force realizes that the city administration does not “have their back” while they are doing their job. So police there are less inclined to do their job because they fear the possible illogical retribution for simply doing their job.



  • Take defunding police as an example. Everywhere this has been done crime has significantly increased. Yet that basic correlation of less police equals more crime is denied. Other non relevant factors are given as to why we have a spike in crime. If you desire to remain part of a group because you believe it gives your life meaning is strong enough you will reject the undeniable facts and believe the delusion. And it is ironic that some of the comments posted here seem to be from people who don’t even realize that the original premise is about them and anyone who simply toes the line of the group rather than evaluating if a policy that they endorse actually works.


  • It is not anti anything specific. It simply points out that if you follow any ideology that consistently does not produce a solution to a problem it might be time to rethink your position. In everyday life we see many things getting worse than they were. We are then told that those bad outcomes are not due to bad policies, but to various other factors that have nothing to do with the issue. This is a complete generalization but is seems to me that conservatives more than other groups deal with outcomes and not policies that simply make them feel good about themselves.
