If you read this article and thought, “journalistic malpractice”, I think you gotta reset your understanding of what journalism is. They can’t just say “oh, this smells like bullshit so we’re going to write articles about how it’s bullshit”. If that’s what they did, then there is no difference between journalism and lemmy comments.

They have to actually research the facts surrounding the claims like a scientist would. Start from the assumption that what they’re saying is true, then follow the numbers to come to a conclusion. Now the conclusion is not based some feeling, it is based on actual data.

We can now say not only did it smell like bullshit, but thanks to these journalists we can identify exactly how it is bullshit.

I was behind a cyber truck the other day when it went over train tracks. I thought it was going to fall apart.

Are you talking about this article specifically? It seems like this article is taking the promise Trump made and following all the dollars to prove exactly how that promise was bullshit. This seems like journalism at work.

I shouldn’t have phrased it as an either or. Landlords are definitely partly to blame. Especially the ones making millions and lobbying congressmen to keep things shitty for the less wealthy.

But it’s a much bigger issue than just blaming a group of faceless people.

You got 2 downvotes for saying it’s not all landlords. I think that was what I was getting at.

It’s easy to point your finger and blame an imaginary person for your problems. But it’s often much more complicated than that.

There’s an infrastructure built around benefiting people with wealth that, in turn, harms people without wealth.

There’s a concept of supply and demand. There should be more supply.

Ok, but it’s not just landlords. It’s an entire infrastructure built on allowing this kind of thing to happen.

This is a great example of one of those “bigger issues” I was talking about.

Is it greedy landlords? Or is there a bigger issue at play, and landlords are the scapegoat? I imagine not all landlords are greedy, but if market price is $1,600, why wouldn’t the landlord charge $1,600?

You think they do that with a jeep, or some other actual off-road vehicle? Maybe they would, but I think the curb would take out that nazi car. That’s the difference.

Not enough AI generation.

They only have 5 licenses to give out. Why hide them all the Tesla?

Sure, the 5 number is artificial limit created by the government. But if they only have 5, give 1 to each company.

Seems like the right thing to do anyway. Why should Tesla have all 5. They get enough government help as is, why give them the monopoly?

At least you can identify them easily. Bumper stickers, license plates and hats.

I’d save the plate

I watched dune in 70mm IMAX. I thought it was weird that I could hear the projector sound the whole time. Is this normal?

He’s praying.

I’m joking, of course, but I’m sure there are people saying this.
