Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

What marketing of any kind is TikTok itself engaged in? I don't recall ever seeing an ad for TikTok directed at children or anyone else. Marketing takes more forms then advertisements. I assure you that TikTok has a marketing department and hires marketing professionals. So what, specifically are y...

Re: Argentina elects Javier Milei for President

Argentina formally requested on Thursday to join NATO as a global partner, a status that would clear the way for greater political and security cooperation at a time when the right-wing government of President Javier Milei aims to boost ties with Western powers and attract investment. The request c...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Ok. I'm gonna ask for the receipts. Where is the documentation of this "well documented smear campaign"? Private message it. Share it here. Post it in a Google drive. Whatever you'd like. But please, share your documentation. As one of the "handful of Sattler apologists and FOTW apol...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

And what is your regulatory proposal for limiting the effects of social media on children? I would argue at the very least not to engage in marketing towards children.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I'll be on the lookout for the installment where you give the alleged offenses of our Boston friends the benefit of the doubt on the same basis. Having heard more than my share of far-fetched justifications for dishonorable behavior over the years, I have to say "He's from the city so he can't...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

As we all know, tobacco companies marketed to minors and took measures to ensure they could buy or get cigarettes right up until the MSAs. Both parents and society at large are responsible for children. I’m not even sure how this is controversial. And what is your regulatory proposal for limiting t...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I would add that there is a certain kind of personality from Baltimore and York, PA which may come across a bit acerbic, but is indeed normal for those regions. (Many cities have a similar distinct local/regional culture.) It is a mistake to assume city people are bad, aggressive, mean people just ...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

“Personal responsibility” and “parents” were the excuse the tobacco industry used for years to market and sell harmful, addictive products to children for years. I’m quite suspicious of anyone who thinks they need to push responsibility for mass phenomena backed by billions of dollars onto relativel...
