@#12

Thank-you for confirming something I have thought for the past few months.

That your current alias is not here to discuss anything.

It seems to be here to be disruptive of conversations.

But that is just my view.

Now, more widely than just my view, the question seems to become ... why does your current alias participate on this site?

@#9 ... Yep. I'd throw on swim gear and do some street snorkeling. ...

Yeah, that's the way to make light of a serious situation.

Or does your current alias think that people dying is not a serious event?

From the cited article...

... Impact Plastics officials said several of their employees died after the river near the business along the James H. Quillen Parkway flooded over into the plant's parking lot. ...

@#6 .. Anyway, if the parking lot is flooded, I wouldn't hop in my car and start driving ...

Did the workers have the opportunity to leave before it became dangerous for them to do so?

From the cited article...

... He said power went out at the plant and then he heard the parking lot was flooded. He asked if he could go home, and according to him, someone at Impact Plastics said they had to wait to hear from the business owner to determine if people could leave.

By then, he said it was too late. ...

As i noted earlier....

There are going to be lawyers here.

@#6 ... You need permission to leave work when the power is out? What are you a ten year old? ...

Your alias obviously seems to not know the work requirements of some companies.

Back in the 70's I visited manufacturing plants of corporations that intentionally put their factories in the South because the the people there were so appreciative of the jobs provided that they did not complain.

But to the point of your comment, maybe you should ask yourself why there seems to be an upsurge of workers wanting to join unions.

Jus' askin'

@#7 ... These people are always conniving on playing one up-mans-ship and how to divide not just the USA but the world when they only speculate and do not actually know facts. Sorry but a zillion years of destructive wars making the deep state rich makes me skeptical when I read this stuff. ...

@#7

Yeah, I see, and understand what you are saying.

But I am not yet there with the outcome.

Apparently, not just Noth Carolina...

@#68 ... None of this is actually happening, it's all a hoax. ...

Your attempting to cosplay a Republican is too transparent.

Do try harder.

:)

OK, I was totally unaware of FDT. So I popped the acronym into my search engine of choice.

Wow.

@#3 ... Absolutely stupid move, and one I hope he reconsiders. ...

I agree.

@#2 ... Spoiler alert: the more you experiment with these, the faster the chatbots will learn and adapt. ...

yeah.

So, this thread is likely to be self-defeating.

Another view ...

...Review Their Posts

While bots can mimic humans, they are always subject to their programing and looking over their posts may show you patterns in that programming.

- - - Tunnel Vision: Bots are created for a purpose. This could make them seemingly obsessed with a particular topic by repeating a link too much.

- - - Temporal Behavior: Too many posts in too short of a time, posts that are too consistent. If an account posts at unlikely times or even too regularly, it can be an indicator that it's fake.

- - - Look at comments: Review comments to see if there are scam links or suspicious replies to note.

@#7 ... These people are always conniving on playing one up-mans-ship and how to divide not just the USA ...

Who are the "these people" your bot refers to?

@#31 ... She has a history of trying to portray herself as something she is not. ...

And the evidence your bot has is ...

... At issue is Section 206 of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, better known as the Taft-Hartley Act. The law authorizes a president to seek a court order for an 80-day cooling-off period for companies and unions to try to resolve their differences.

Biden has said, though, that he won't intervene in the strike.

Taft-Hartley was meant to curb the power of unions

The law was introduced by two Republicans " Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio and Rep. Fred Hartley Jr. of New Jersey " in the aftermath of World War II. It followed a series of strikes in 1945 and 1946 by workers who demanded better pay and working conditions after the privations of wartime.

President Harry Truman opposed Taft-Hartley, but his veto was overridden by Congress.

In addition to authorizing a president to intervene in strikes, the law banned "closed shops," which require employers to hire only union workers. The ban allowed workers to refuse to join a union.

Taft-Hartley also barred "secondary boycotts,'' thereby making it illegal for unions to pressure neutral companies to stop doing business with an employer that was targeted in a strike. ...

... Helene, which has killed more than a hundred people across the South, was the third hurricane to hit the county in roughly the past 13 months. It followed Debby in August and Idalia about a year earlier. Forecasters aren't sure why the area's storm activity has surged, but they point to a couple of potential culprits: Hot oceans and La Nia.

The perils of Taylor County highlight a stark reality for residents of Florida's coastal communities: There is no safe place. Climate change is altering the way storms behave, threatening regions that were once shielded from the worst effects of extreme weather. As more people move to the US South, lured by the region's economic growth and relatively low cost of living, the risk of catastrophic losses from natural disasters is rising.

From 1900 to 2023, only two hurricanes struck Taylor County -- a rural corner of Florida's Big Bend region, where the Panhandle meets the rest of the peninsula -- and none of them were Category 3 or higher on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale. That was the least activity anywhere along the entire shoreline from Florida's southern tip to Brownsville, Texas, according to National Hurricane Center records.

While it's not clear which atmospheric conditions have been directing more storms into western Florida in recent years, the Gulf of Mexico has gotten warmer, providing fuel for tropical systems. ...

@#25 ... Iran hacked Trump's campaign and sent the info to the DNC ...

Yes, Iran did that.

How did the DNC respond?

Did the DNC plead, as fmr Pres Trump did to Russia did back in the day, for Iran to release all the information publicly?

@#26 ... Are you not aware? drudge.com

Not so curious after all. ...

The link you cite refers to #18.

...Corky a bigot and a liar since 2005.

So, I ask, what is there not to be aware about?

@#9 ... Nonsense. ...

Yup.

The comment you backquote was just yet another of the comments by MAGA (or the MAGA AI bots) that appear to attempt to discredit anyone who may disagree with the MAGA-cult's unfettered adulation of fmr Pres Trump.

@#1 ... Tim Walz asked JD Vance whether Donald Trump lost in 2020. The Republican's "non-answer" ...

Yeah, I started watching the video link.

After a dozen or so seconds, I quickly tired of the babble that had little to do with the ad mentioned in the subject.

So I punted.

I mean really, at least, give a time in the video I can FF to in order to understand the point your comment is trying to make.

I'm not going to waste 5+ minutes listening to Ms Maddow babbling.
