Las Vegas hospitality workers say they're squeezed by a tourism slowdown they blame on Trump's tariffs, high gas prices due to the war in Iran and the cost of living.
I’m just trying to get direct answer to my questions I’ve put to you. you seem to think I won’t notice the deflection if you post enough tangential information.
To you, everything is Lemmy commenting in the moment, fixated on your target fixation. The crisis is the forest, not me the tree.
Why do you think this about me specifically?
The blind faith that the entire world is adopting that sarcasm, satire, mocking, mockery will always fix problems.
So you’re not even reading my responses in whole, I’ve put forward concrete actions to reverse the anti-intellectualism. You keep posting appeals to authority and no actual plans of actions, beyond magical thinking.

You seem to think tiny-short commenting messages are all about you you you and your egoism.
You keep posting appeals to authority
That’s your thought-terminating cliche phrase. “Appeal to authority” magic words nullifies experts. Stephen Alfred Gutknecht quoted Neil Postman books from year 1985, so can’t listen to matching ideas, because the magic phrase “appeal to authority” nullifies it! Stephen Gutknecht appealed to books printed on paper and not screen-game interactive commenting! That nullifies ideas!

“President Trump and members of his administration have often expressed a distrust of science and experts. That distrust is now helping to shape policies in several areas of government, from vaccines and health care to trade and the economy.”
You seem to think tiny-short commenting messages are all about you you you and your egoism.
explain in detail what makes you think this? be cogent and specific do not go off on a tangent, answer this one specific question alone if you have the intellectual capacity to do so, reply with irrelevant excepts and ignore the direct question if you do not
explain in detail what makes you think this? be cogent and specific do not go off on a tangent,
You sure want personal attention. You sure keep giving loaded questions.
do not go off on a tangent
Obey me, I command you, the Lemmy servers direct your mind. Active measures. Anti-free thinking. You want reactions to your comments. As my Lemmy profile clearly says: “War and Peace in the Global Village” book by Marshall McLuhan is my subject focus here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_and_Peace_in_the_Global_Village Almost everything I share is related to University of Toronto teachings of media ecology (Lemmy is media systems).
I consider Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, and Dr. Bandy X Lee to be the elephants in the room (the teachers, educators, everyone is avoiding). My Lemmy profile makes no secret of my addressing the media and not just low-effort commenting as entertainment amusement at Donald Trump for laughs.
