Journalism

To be a journalist nowadays is apparently to not do real journalism.

Why being an Athelete is the best job ever

You get paid for playing a Sport

You're famous

You can murder someone and get away with it

You can commit a crime against someone and pay them off out of court and admit no guilt

CAT funds shark research

Seems like a strange endeavor. With all the complaints on how they treat their employees and former employees they have the money for something as far reaching from their business as shark research? I know they have the money to do this, but, they should focus on the employees that make their company great. There are companies that are good to work for. According to the people that work for CAT, it is not. People are leaving CAT over benefits. Now they are funding Shark Research.

American Soldier

The American Sniper was murdered
He took the soldier he was trying to console of PTSD to a gun range. Guess he wasn't that intellectual. Psychologists don't take suicide patients to a knife party. Sounds like a typical headstrong soldier to me. Hope others integrate better.

A la carte tv programming



 

 

We pay a huge amount of money to get the few channels we like and when those channels have repeats or something uninteresting on the other 200 channels have bullshit on. Is this why they give us recording options? Because we pay for 200 channels that are GARBAGE?
Why do we keep putting up with this shit? Why do we keep paying for channel 270 that shows vaccuum shark and channels 263 and 147 and 341 have the same infomercial on at 4 in the afternoon? Why is that the norm? Why do we choose the company that advertises the most channels for slightly more channels only to watch 1/98th of them? Why, in 2013, do we not have A LA Carte? Why can't we choose and pay for the channels we want? Why do i pay a big chunk of my paycheck to a cable company for certain channels plus a Bunch of channels that no one on earth gives a shit about just to have them threaten me that they might be lost later. Why does that make them feel better? Profits?
Why are the cable companies allowed to pay off the government in order to deny this sensible idea? A la Carte?
I am guessing that the cable companies know that they will loose their ass if people choose A LA Carte. They got together and thought, Yes We will loose our asses, We should band together and hire a big fat lobbyist and bribe the gov't and make sure the people pay for what they don't want. We have exhausted all our advertising outlets. The people don't care and they are catching on that we don't care and are absolute liars.
Why do I pay for the advertised 240 channels for 100 bucks a month? I don't know.  Atleast half the channels are infomercials. I don't want to pay for that shit. I really like relaxing in my bed on Saturday and flipping through the channels. 100 hundred bucks a month for a flip show...I guess the middle class doesn't deserve TV. If anyone needs that many QVC channels you know it would be the rich bitches in Beverly Hills that shit out money...

Bee venom may kill HIV
Research shows that nanoparticles carrying the toxin in bee venom could kill HIV cells.

But, bees are being killed off by GMO insecticides that were approved by the FDA and EPA. Beees are vital for human survival. What are these government programs doing if they are just ignoring the very duty they were set up for?

Failed the Post Office too
Back in the early days of America periodicals were cheap and sending regular correspondence was not. Then it all changed and people sent vast amounts of mail. But with that businesses sent a bulk amount of junk and spam and solicitations.
Fast forward to today, this vast amount of unwanted business junk...is it good or bad and why is the Post Office failing?
