It's common knowledge that the days we work in the office, nothing gets done. All the meetings where a middle manager needs to see his minions before him in a room ensure we have no other time.
It comes down to the number of mouths that have to fed at the end of the day. Individuals producing news stories appear 'free' for the masses because they have alternative ways of earning, such as monetization on a large platform.
News agencies, however, are in a strange place these days. They used to be private and used to have a default subscription fee. You paid for the paper or you read one that someone left behind somewhere. Nobody's buying papers anymore and they've had to move online. In addition they've been purchased by giant conglomerates or billionaires. It's no longer a matter of making sure their employees are fed by producing a great product... the billionaires and CEO's just want money. Since everyone's ad-blocking these days they charge subscriptions and leverage tech to deny their product to those who don't pay.
There will always be alternative news sources, and god knows I prefer them to 18 tv stations in the same city using the exact same propagandized scripts. You just have to put in the effort to look for them. That's the fee you're paying. Time.
Could someone please show this to Joe Rogan? Mfer with an episode of Mad Honey and he's all like, "This stuff stings the back of your throat, it's so weird!"
As long as CEO's have a single moment of "Will this decision I'm about to make mean people might actually shank me?" resides in their thought processes, the world benefits.
What's weird is I do! After decades of watching and learning I think we're a 3-dimensional species that can only mathematically measure things via 2-dimensional thinking. (We can only visualize space-time in a single plane for example mentally, honestly)
All the things that 'disappear into nothing' like singularities and even UFO's I think simply are 4th dimensional in nature if not higher. They dip in and out of what we can perceive and the beings that live there are amused at us crawling around like ants in an ant-hill.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall <3
