You mean how can some people barely survive while others have millions or even, wtf, billions? NBCnews? That’s your question?
Boy that’s a question right there NBCnews. Yessir a real head-scratcher. Hmm! Boy howdy, the mind reels at what could be the cause of such a huge imbalance in our society. I suppose we’ll just never FUCKING KNOW.

Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!
Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!
Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!
Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes
Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.
504·11 months agoWait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???
Shocked! I’m shocked!
Well . . . not that shocked.

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre
So I had no idea what people kept referring to with the Folger’s ad thing, so I had to look up the story which happened in 2009. Apparently I haven’t seen ads for fourteen years. Which is awesome.

1·1 year agoI suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)
But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.
That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.
There are a lot of people in jail for over a year because they don’t have $1,000 to get out. They haven’t been charged with a crime yet. (Spoiler alert: They’re not white)
Some of them die due to neglect. So. There’s that.
thing happens, everone sees it everyone talks about it
Years later: top story: thing happened
Yeah. We know. We - talked about it a lot, really. At the time. Years ago.
(Bonus fun: add “trump” to the above)
so they’re officially “Texas-based” now eh? Heh. Sure, why not.
Right? I mean, i’ll take the win, absolutely, but c’mon. Anybody still on Xitter - stop. Just stop.
International editor doesn’t understand how media works.
Elmo says something crazy. What a scoop.
Why does it feel like everybody at OpenAI has lost their mind?
Indeed. Indeed.
The FBI fucked up so royally during Trumps junta on every single issue, I wonder if they’re not just floor-to-ceiling republiQans but droolingly incompetent.
