Not too long after Sports Illustrated got busted for using AI to write crappy, woke sports articles, then went bust, Vice Media went down - badly: Am I celebrating hundreds of people losing their jobs? Yes. Why would I do something so unfeeling, so terrible, so awful and crass? Because the people at Vice were some of the people to tell the blue collar workers and coal miners in Appalachia and other areas, that they should “learn to code”. And then they were laughing about it on Twitter. Their crime? many of those people in the Rust Belt, after voting for Obama (they recognized that the globalist W Bush sold them out), they voted for Trump, thinking he would stop the economic bleeding. Having a take like that requires nuance and being non-partisan. Vice was none of those things. They were dancing on the employment graves of union member blue collar democrats who were trying to get a political solution to the hollowing out of their industries. These were people in the Oil, Gas, Coal, and rare earth elements / mining industries. Now the USA produces more Nat Gas and Oil than ever before - around 12 million barrels a day - and Vice is gone. In this podcast, I go into a more mellow and methodical look at what happened to Vice, and to some degree, Sports Illustrated. Thank you all for subscribing. This is a public episode.
