We on the right have long known that Silicon Valley is no friend of ours, and it has become increasingly clear that they are outright and mortal enemies. The revelations Project Veritas has dropped the last couple days are a scathing indictment of their ideological bias, partisanship, and creepy Big Brother style fascism.
Question: Are there enough right leaning Twitter/Facebook/Google users to meaningfully ding Big Tech with a full scale boycott? Does our side have enough users, and could they be rallied together, to delete enough accounts to significantly tank their stock value? And could we at the same time transition those users to alternative platforms to give those a boost? Are there realistic alternative platforms? Conservative users have to punish these companies for their shadow banning, throttling of conservative views, rigging of search results, etc. We need a community organizer to lead us!

What hatch?
Well, baitfish aren't a hatch of course, but you'll have seen baby pogies (bunker, menhaden, insert regional name) or silversides or sand eels and you allow for them to have grown a week. This is the reason that saltwater fishing is superior to freshwater fishing. (Yes, I have just decided to crossbow this). You see something at dawn at dead low tide. Tomorrow's dawn will be an hour into the incoming. The next dawn dead low will be in two weeks. The bait will be two weeks older by then. You really can't step in the same ocean twice. The river thing is just a saying, you can step in the same river tomorrow if the weather doesn't change.

Just to see the parks dept. try to figure out if they can get away with working overtime to install barricades to keep people out of unmanned parks because they don't have enough workers. Or something. They got away with it in the past, when in truth every fucking one of them should have been fired. I would love to see them try it again. It could be PDT's Patco moment.

Trump can make a shut-down relatively painless for most Americans, and in effect furlough many fed workers without pay, and thereby win the stand-off. This can have significant long-term effects.

Back-Pay for shut-down-furloughed Civil Servants is not guaranteed. Insomniac, I can't recall if Obama said up-front 5 years ago that he'd push for back-pay. Maybe so.
Furlough back-pay only comes if it's in a bill from Congress that's signed by POTUS. PDT could up the pressure on Schumer by saying he will NOT sign a bill giving shut-down-furlough back-pay. Some risks there, because if there is a shut-down many Civil Servants would be hurt by loss of just several days pay. Who would they blame at the ballot box?

Shut-down-furloughed Civil Servants are instructed to not come to the office, and to not do any work at all - not supposed to email or call your co-workers or contractors to discuss a job and so forth. No "voluntary" work is allowed.

Posted by: #neverskankles at January 15, 2018 12:29 PM (43lDk) This is nothing new. Back in the 1950s Robert Heinlein and his wife Virginia went on a round the world trip, and one of their stops was in South Africa. They visited some people they knew there (yes, they were white) and noted their home (as well as their neighbors) all had high fences, gates and such. When asked why their friends said it was to keep from getting killed by the blacks in the area. Something the Heinleins found amazing was that these people were even concerned about the black people (butler, housekeeper) who worked in their home. But one of the blacks who was working in their home overheard this, and assured the white South African that "oh no, we would never harm you. We know you. Now your neighbors are different. Them we would kill, just as the blacks who work for them would try to kill you. But none of us would kill someone we knew and had worked for"...

That sounds like hard contacts. I wore those from 1984 - 2010 or so, and then switched to soft. The hard ones were harder to put in, but easier to take out. It took me a couple of weeks before I could take the soft ones out easily. Sometimes it still hurts, because there is such a strong suction to my eyeball.

My ex had progressively degenerative eyesight. She had to either wear hard contacts or glasses that got progressively thicker to the point of actual coke bottle thickness. She was blind as a bat before the surgery so naturally one of my favorite games was hiding her glasses and rearranging the furniture in the bedroom before she got up. Great fun for me. She had the surgery years ago when it was just getting popular and it was amazing. Well the after was, the surgery itself which I watched was not so much fun. Overnight she went from blind as a bat to 20-20. It did regress a little and she had to go in for a "tune up" and she still uses reading glasses but she is a littler over 29 now so not really surprising.

My ex had progressively degenerative eyesight. She had to either wear hard contacts or glasses that got progressively thicker to the point of actual coke bottle thickness. She was blind as a bat before the surgery so naturally one of my favorite games was hiding her glasses and rearranging the furniture in the bedroom before she got up. Great fun for me.

"Conservative users have to punish these companies for their shadow banning, throttling of conservative views, rigging of search results, etc. Posted by: Texas Zombie
The only to effective do this (IMHO) is to create competing companies.Posted by: WinLinBSDAdmin imo these companies were tied to Soros type money from the start, and made deals with our (shadow) government to give back doors to our private info. That is HOW they became so dominant. They are probably leftist enough to start with, but see how the CEO of Mozilla was efficiently removed for private "wrongThink" on gay marriage. The corporate elite are partly afraid of the bad press (that comes from having conservatives in their midst), but they are also powerful globalists and AmericaFirst is an enemy to them. So we probably will have to treat them as a utility ... because they control what goes viral, and what gets silenced since they end up as monopolies.

One more Civil Service furlough detail: Even if both sides agree they'll give back-pay when it's over, they can't issue paychecks until it's over. Some financial institutions, especially Federal Credit Unions, will probably advance some money to furloughed employees if the shut-down is more than two weeks.
Anyway, a long shutdown will financially squeeze a lot of people. I can go a long time with no pay coming in, but most of my co-workers do not have as much as I do in the bank. Your sympathy mileage for me and my fellow Feds may vary. Posted by: Gref at January 15, 2018 02:02 PM (AMIL/) 484

286 South Africa, where people have 10 ft tall gates around their homes due to out of control crime, is protesting being called a shithole.
Posted by: #neverskankles at January 15, 2018 12:29 PM (43lDk) This is nothing new. Back in the 1950s Robert Heinlein and his wife Virginia went on a round the world trip, and one of their stops was in South Africa. They visited some people they knew there (yes, they were white) and noted their home (as well as their neighbors) all had high fences, gates and such. When asked why their friends said it was to keep from getting killed by the blacks in the area. Something the Heinleins found amazing was that these people were even concerned about the black people (butler, housekeeper) who worked in their home. But one of the blacks who was working in their home overheard this, and assured the white South African that "oh no, we would never harm you. We know you. Now your neighbors are different. Them we would kill, just as the blacks who work for them would try to kill you. But none of us would kill someone we knew and had worked for"... Posted by: The Oort Cloud - Source of all SMODs at January 15, 2018 01:16 PM (1q8rq) He put that in one of his books, paraphrase "I am not in danger from my neighbors, nor you from yours, but you are in danger from my neighbors and vice-versa" Might have been in TMISHM, or Starship Troopers (more likely).

Interesting re Tommy Lee Jones. I'd read an account that he's not at all a nice guy in real life, though from the account I got the feeling the guy interviewing him might have had something to do with that. (See Raylan Givens' rule, "You run into assholes all day,....") I once came across a comment from the excellent character actor Jim Beaver urging caution in these judgments. He described a famous actor he'd worked with on two occasions; on one he was terse and unfriendly, on another he was warm and kind to all around him. As Beaver pointed out, you just don't know what's going on in people's lives. (Another fine actor he named as just a thoroughgoing prick no matter when you run into him.)
