  • So the research on under reporting of crimes in migrant communities has nothing to do with the crime stats used to support claims that migrants, as a demographic, commit less crimes?

    I take it this view on the accuracy and totality of reported crime stats also extends to figures on sexual assault and rape i.e. the crime stats surrounding SA are accurate, and not under reported?

  • That study long predates the current fascist crackdown on migrants.

    I'm not making any argument, I'm simply correcting your misinformation with relevant scientific studies from the NIH.

    I understand why that message is counter to the popular narrative on the left, but that doesn't mean it's wrong, again, see the study.

    I also understand that it's not a popular thing to bring up right now because of what's going on, but when you drill down into it, all I'm saying is that migrants are people like everyone else. They aren't inherently worse then natural born citizens, but they aren't better either, they're just people.

    And like everyone else, migrant crime rates are most closely aligned to poverty rates, but crime rates are also dependent upon crimes being reported, and there are legitimate and understandable reasons why crimes in those communities go under reported.

  • This is the other side of migrant propaganda, the the one where they are paragons of virtue and more law-abiding than everyone else, but it's false.

    They are people, and their crime rates, like with everyone else, are most closely aligned to the demographic's poverty rates, not their immigration status.

    Migrants don't magically escape the correlation between income levels and crime. But they are significantly less likely to report crimes, for obvious and understandable reasons, which does bring the reported crime rates in their communities down.

    And I can match your anecdotal stories with my own that counter your anecdotal experiences, including living in Arizona during the SB 1070 era. But just like your stories, they're anecdotal.

    So instead, here's a 2019 NIH Study:

  • My hunch is that the OEM is looking to go after enterprise phone sales and views Graphene as a competitive advantage for that market.

    Blackberry seems like a natural fit, but I don't know what their manufacturing capacity is looking like these days.

  • This is a hilarious self-own.

    NatSec reporters are critical components for modern defense policy, as they are how the planners and politicians manufacture consent across the populace.

    I don't think this will turn all of these journalists against their masters, errrrr sources, but I bet you get a few additional cases of journalism that would have been previously swept under the rug as favors for said sources.

    Maybe not enough to rock the system, but possibly enough to pressure Hegseth.

  • It's systemic, and whether or not it's perpetrated directly by big tech, they are the primary beneficiaries i.e. increased ad sales.

    This is a problem that requires regulation, which means it will not be addressed meaningfully, as that won't happen anytime soon.

  • There were backups!

    Unfortunately, they were located three rows and two racks down from their source.

    In their defense, they clearly never thought the building would burn down.

    And let's be fair to them, who's even heard of lithium batteries catching fire?

    This was a once in a millennia accident, something you can't anticipate, and therefore can't plan for.

    Unless you're talking about off-site backups. Then maybe they could have planned for that.

    But who am I to judge?

  • Anyone down voting this should be ashamed of themselves.

    Like deeply and personally ashamed.

    The type of shame that follows them for the rest their lives, because that's how scummy you'd have to be in order downvote someone shining a light on how private equity is buying out major YouTube channels.

    Something that I was entirely unaware of, and appreciate your comment regarding.

  • They're saying that they serve the same masters, not that they take the same approach.

    I think we can all appreciate that while the Democrats are objectively better than Trump, that doesn't wash away their sins and own systemic rot.

    It is important to remember that while they may be short-term allies of necessity, they are not good and they will never serve your interests if that conflicts with the interests of the donor class.

  • The epitome of limousine liberal.

    Completely owned by Big tech and VC.

    Everything he's doing now is for his presidential run, but that doesn't mean there's no value to any of it.

    At this point, we'll take what I can get, and he knows that.
