“There are multiple billionaires in Trump’s cabinet. It’s not impossible somebody in government might have had the resources to do this”, says Paul Krugman. Have people inside Trump’s government, with knowledge of the Iran war, capitalised on the oil markets through insider trading?
“Tobacco companies focused on getting teens addicted to tobacco because they are their lifelong customers. “Similarly Meta said ‘to get tweens, you have to hook them as tweens’." Is Meta using the handbook written by tobacco companies to get young people addicted to social media?
Eric's debate skills go out the window when he tries to invalidate someone's identity as a "gotcha" tactic, and it devolves into a masterclass in rage baiting. He claims using gotchas is like violence, which is basically just an excuse for not being able to keep up with the conversation. Source
