Sounds much cheaper than what they pay to stay at his hotels.
I thought this was a joke at first.
And it’s still happening
I think you mean much cheaper than what WE pay for them to stay at his hotel. That’s tax payers’ money. Fuck that guy.
Would be a good thing if the service were denied to convicted felons. Go a long way to legitimizing it
I wonder why? It’s not like anything bad ever happens to high-profile inmates, just ask Jeffery Epstein…
Obligatory /s
When will Harambe’s curse leave us.
Not enough people whipped it out.
We’re forever doomed until the mass flashing event that frees of us our sins.
Except here his kids will turn on him like they have been raised to do. No one close to him really cares about him.
The current record for number of US presidental votes received while in prison is about 1,000,000. Eugene V. Debs is the record holder, and that election was in 1920. Trump just may beat him this year. There is no law that says you can’t be president while in prison.
There is no law that says you can’t be president while in prison.
This is so a ruling leader can’t imprison all his competition and thus win another election by default.
Agreed. But in this specific case it’s frustrating.
Whyyy are we still posting paywall’d links to places???
Because actual journalism costs money.
I’d agree but there is a lot of “actual journalism” that is freely accessible. ProPublica, for example.
Is their funding method viable for every single journalism outlet though? Or maybe there better question would be, for every article posted, is there a 501c3 (or otherwise sustainably funded) news outlet that has published coverage on the same story?
I’m not disagreeing or agreeing with you, I’m just writing out some of my own indecision on the topic. Journalism is vitally important but it seems like it’s very difficult for people to make a living doing it and I don’t know what the answer is.
I understand your question but it doesn’t address my initial question: why are we posting paywalled links to public news?
Everyone was reporting on this,(Edit: I may be wrong about that) I’m sure there is a free independent news source that has a similar article, so why are we putting up a paywall link to a NYT article? Wouldn’t it be more effective to post a link everyone could access?Edit: I am now going to look and see if there’s anyone else reporting this, if it is exclusive to NYT, great, but each day I see a interesting article only to get halfway through and get hit with a “money please!” paywall.
That’s fair. I was definitely using your question to voice something I have been thinking about for a while, more than actually addressing it/you specifically. Sorry about that.
Real paywall (text not sendet) is rare, you can see the full article by disabling JS in your obligatory adblock extension.
Doesn’t seem to work here, the “show more” button doesn’t work.
I oversaw that there’s more, my bad.
Good.

Ever thought of Secret Service using the same abbreviation as nazi german Schutzstaffel?
Isn’t the abbreviation USSS
I wonder if they changed it to that for obvious reasons
U.S.S.S was founded in 1865
The Nazis ripped off the US.
