Thinking about them in terms of the mall or a shopping plaza is good. However, you mistakenly compared the app store with the Gap.
The app store is the mall space, numerous apps abound, as do shops. The gap might not sell porn, but Victoria secret, Spencers, Hollywood (nights?? I can't recall) exist in the mall and might not be porn but... Some retail plazas might have an adult section. Best buy or Fry's at one point had adult magazines and videos.
Some retail plazas even have other things progressives and democrats find offensive, like guns and old classic literature. Occasionally you can also find a pawn shop in a retail plaza.
There was a point where you would rent out your mall or retail space to anyone with the money to cover the cost plus a small profit. The decadence, wealth inequality, and unrealistic valuations from government interference have led to a world where it's fairly easy for some to cherry pick who they want renting from them based upon their ideological, political, or racial spectrum or beliefs. The same now occurs in our app stores.
High end malls never had any of those things, anywhere I’ve been in the US. Victoria’s Secret and Spencer’s are pretty far from sex shops or pornography in my opinion.
Not that I agree the policies of app stores to restrict items solely because they are pornography or sex related. But high end mall operators might reject sex shops for many of the same reasons.
Thankfully hyper capitalism's provided an alternative, Windows, Android, or linux, and pine.
I suppose if you're a socialist you probably don't understand how it all works without a government edict giving you instructions and making sure you and your neighbor have the same marginal product.
However, even without this edict, rest assured that you can make the change without the government allowing you to... Fell free to switch.
He isn’t the only one either. A Princeton professor who wrote a paper about protests is facing protests (https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-Protesting-of-a-Protes...). Now a large number of professors at Princeton, mostly from the humanities, signed a petition asking for an end to academic freedom and a committee to review every publication for “racist” content. The students who signed onto a letter defending academic freedom are now being cyber bullied (https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-students-cyberbullie...).
The entire higher education system in America has been turned into a propaganda machine that radicalizes young minds and is hostile to any ideas they don’t agree with. It is dangerous for society and completely incongruent with fundamental academic principles. We need to defund it all and start over with a much more decentralized system.
Most of the "resurgence" in cases in Texas is from about 3 counties, all in the border, all of them treating individuals crossing the bitter for better treatment.
If course, we could say the rest of the cases are simply from anyone now using the healthcare system who is being automatically tested even if they are being seen for something non covid related.
Of course if you really wanna get in the weeds, you could probably say that the median age for covid is about 36 and the death rate is about .04% for those under 50, well below a seasonal flu. Of course you still have democrat governors letting the bodies hit the floor among elderly nursing home residents. But children who are statistically unaffected by covid remain locked down with their parents, who are also minimally affected.
In fact in NY the nursing homes themselves pleaded with the governor to not force the return of these COVID positive individuals back to the nursing homes. The governor of NY actually scrubbed his order from the state website sending these infected patients from hospitals back to nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
You can use whatever asinine ideas You like to protect your stance on big government. Not enough government wasn't the problem here, the government was essentially sending smallpox blankets into these at risk communities. If those people voted blue or were one of the protected classes, the access media would be all over this.
I think it's close to around 44% by recent numbers.
However, NY recently revised how they are counting these deaths, and they now count them in a way where if the nursing home resident is transferred to the hospital, they are generally not counted as a nursing home death. Up until very recently, they were counting that as a nursing home death the same as every other state in the union.
They've been the only state to make such changes so far, but the governor did make a deal with the nursing homes to limit their liability during this situation as well so this is pretty much par for the course here.
Ironically, everyone here seems to be angling at the political angle, not the fact that pensions can be easily survive well beyond what they were intended, especially public ones.
Yes but ironically Twitter tags Trump tweets about election fraud just after another report of a letter carrier tampering with mail in ballots. There are numerous stories that don't get attention about problems with mail in voting because access media doesn't want a certain narrative.
At the same time, Twitter doesn't tag a Trump tweet about Joe Scarborough alleging an affair and murder of an intern/co-worker which is all wild speculation and completely inappropriate.
It's all obvious politics at this point, and everyone simply screams their sides' talking points.
I don't like the executive branch legislating, that is what the Congress is supposed to do. But far too long have tech companies straddled the line between publisher or platform, (soft censoring it's users/clients which i have a problem with instead of just removing them from the platform which i think is well within their rights).
Hopefully this opens up all these companies who editorialize their users content to class action and other legal opinions and actions. At the very least maybe the courts and the Congress will weigh in and we can get most of these grey areas removed. We might have less options for social media and news agencies and some might even be completely destroyed. Likewise, i think a lot of users will be removed and or deplatformed. But these are all costs we need to bear to finally get peace on the web.
