Diff is that there are studies(huge one just came out this week) that show that is not true. On the social media side, there are a lot of data that seem to show it is true with social media. I mean, parents should parent and all, but kids especially are seemingly being hit hard by it. On top of that there are studies showing that it is neg effecting our attention spans, how we absorb info, how much we can absorb, etc. Its not good.

I am not in the burn it all down camp, but we def need regulation put together by people who understand the issue and it's challenges as well as the nuance involved and the cascading effects they could have on non-social media internet. The problem is that, some likely due to the above info problems, nuance is not our thing.

Another problem is asking people born in the 40s to regulate technology

Obvi how risk averse you are definitely correlates to the policy you want to borrow for. Still interesting how much public opinion shifted since 2010ish, wish they had 2020 on there too.

yeah, there's been just a sea change in views of econ/policy people and business people seem only a little behind that. the general public still lags a fair bit, but it's still dropped off the radar.

Saw this and frankly couldn't believe the statistic.

Stuck it here so it didn't get swallowed up by a potentially Tay Tay bomb in the election thread.

There have been six presidents since 1989, three from each party, Under the three Democrats — Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden — there was a cumulative increase of 50 million more people working between the starts of their terms and the ends. Under the three Republicans — George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Donald Trump — the cumulative total was, in fact, only 1 million

Link please as I look at articles about the worst housing affordability index in US history.

And by “working” are we talking full time or part time jobs. Because you derps really struggle with that as you attempt to gaslight TF out of the populace.

obviously there are a lot more factors involved than who is president but if you want the data there you go my man

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #215 on:** August 22, 2024, 09:18:09 PM »

oh, I'm sure it's much different if you differentiate between full and part time

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #217 on:** August 22, 2024, 09:21:17 PM »

What defines a “created” job?

How much of that was in government, healthcare and education to serve a growing populace?

Private vs public sector?

Politician campaigning and likely misspeaking vs sitting high ranking executive branch seat holder who thinks statistics affirming that the administration she works for cooked the job numbers in a blast furnace is Trumpian propaganda . . . and then signals that she was completely unaware of either the numbers, or even worse, the entity that put them out even existed.

Yep-exactly the same thing
