Why using non credible sources is a mistake even if they are accurate.

I see links here to non credible sources such as Daily Mail and others.

Maybe it would be helpful to list here, as McCarthyish as that sounds, sources that have no credibility, either papers or online sources.

Maybe such a list is already here.

I think most people do it innocently, not knowing the link is to a non credible source.

Maybe it isnt the problem I think it is here at DU...

Dick Gregory gets his "Hollywood Walk of Fame" Star

http://variety.com/2015/film/features/dick-gregory-receives-a-star-on-the-walk-of-fame-1201421388/


It was more than half a century ago that Dick Gregory became the Jackie Robinson of stand-up comedy, arguably the first black comic to break through to the white American mainstream. Yet he’s only receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Feb. 2. Ask him why it took so long, and you’ll get a quick response.


We cannot overstate this mans importance in the fight for civil rights.

And he is funny as hell, as well.

Republican Senator says you can take a shit, NOT wash your hands, then serve you lunch

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/02/gop-senator-let-restaurants-opt-out-of-handwashing-after-toilet-to-reduce-regulatory-burden/


n. Thom Tillis (R-NC) argued this week that restaurants should be able to “opt out” of health department regulations that require employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom.

On Monday, the freshman senator ended his talk at the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) with a story to illustrate his philosophy on government regulations.


Say hello to the brains of the teaparty.

What is a living wage?

http://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06075


I used San Francisco County because of the discussion about the employer blaming wages as to why he has to close his business.

I believe it is $15 an hour by 2018 ...

The living wage in San Francisco County for ONE adult and ONE child is

$26.03 an hour.

WE peons have ZERO clue how the one percent live, the privileges and power they have.

Folks, the rules dont apply to them...

If their new cell phone malfunctions, they dont spend an hour on the phone with the phone insurance warranty company they bought a policy from to get it replaced only to find out they dont replace them and only send you to a place that fixes them...they toss it in the heap and grab one of dozens of backups they have.

They are never late for a plane, because they fly private jets or chartered jets or if commercial they have people that do everything for them, pack their bags, get them to the airport, do all the lugging of the luggage around. And they wont ever be in a rush because for instance they just got off work and are running late because they dont work, not like we do, if at all.

They never spend one second of their lives (as opposed to most of us who are obsessed in worry with it) thinking about paying a bill, hell they couldnt pay a bill if you put a gun to their heads, they would NOT know how.

There is no service or product or experience they cant have and instantly.
There is no medical expertise, drug or procedure they cant have and instantly.

The ones who are not complete assholes may fill their days working on charities to help others, or go into politics as a hobby.

For every one percenter who works to help others, you know there has to be 5 who dont give a shit.

Listening to a rich person telling you "money isnt everything" or " money cant buy happiness" would be like listening to a 6 yr old about how to drive a Formula One race car.

In other words, they dont have a clue what they are talking about.

rachel interview tonight of veteran who committed suicide the parents

did you notice the parents wanted the stingy Tom Coburn to make an exception for their son

these people describe themselves as conservative Republicans which means they're probably against spending government money on poor people health care food stamps excetera excetera but the one thing that affects their life and they wanted an exception

and then the republican senator she interviewed said 1 thing we can all agree on is terrorism in other words our fear and hatred of muslims

Will the rightwing extremist activist justices on the SC destroy ACA and kill untold number of

Americans?

Dear Americans, please educate yourself about history of unions in America...

I am so god damn sick and tired of talking to some average Joe, or friend from the old days who informs me that the problem is the unions...



No you stupid, uninformed, uneducated dumb shit, the problem is NOT the unions.

But a reminder that the garment industry was a good deal this side of paradise occurred in 1911, when a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. on New York's lower east side. About 150 employees almost all of them young women-perished when the fire swept through the upper floors of the loft building in which they worked. Many burned to death; others jumped and died. Why so large a casualty list? The safety exits on the burning floors had been securely locked, allegedly to prevent "loss of goods." New York and the country were aroused by the tragedy. A state factory investigation committee headed by Frances Perkins (she was to become Franklin Roosevelt's secretary of labor in 1933, the first woman cabinet member in history) paved the way for many long needed reforms in industrial safety and fire prevention measures.
