  Corporate lobbyists sure love bringing up racist concern trolling don’t they?

    The other day, there was a thread about an effort to ban flavored tobacco, including Menthol.

    Some dipshit said this would harm black people the most, because black people just love lung cancer.

      That dipshit was so close to getting it, but yet so far.

      Menthol cigarette advertising was/is targeted heavily at black people. It’s possible that banning menthol will give people the nudge they need to quit, so it could end up helping black people more than average.

      Sounds about right. My state passed some fairly extensive gun reform laws, and someone tried to tell me that smaller magazine sizes would impact black people most “because the wealthy white people will buy all the large clips”

  Are you fucking kidding me. I don’t even want to think about what mental gymnastics it took to come to that conclusion.

  I’ve only seen two or three videos from this guy, but I like him. He’s thoughtful and tackles complex issues intelligently, but keeps things accessible.

  I also appreciate him introducing me to the phrase “Black Lives Marketing”. It’s great to have a phrase for insincere empathy and inclusion done in the name of profit.

    He’s been championing right to repair from the start. Apple hates him because he repairs their shit for people at a fraction of the cost and goes into detail on WHY their repair markup is ridiculous. Like they’d charge $300 for what he fixed with a $5 part and 30 minutes of labor
