My opinion is that many of us that went to CAL have the same shared experience, whether we are in our 50's, 60's, or 70's when it comes to Govt in general, let alone the environment.
It's clear to me that the politics of the "keyboard" warriors are those of people that never attended CAL.
It's patently obvious.
It would be wonderful if the powers that be were to figure out a way to create a board for good non-sport discussion but somehow exclude or moderate the voices, which I suspect you are righth are here to fight with the Berkeley libtards, just to fight and do their good for the right wing cause. There are a lot of smart people here and I learn stuff when I don't have to wade through the propoganda.
The owner of this platform could easily VERIFY whether or not posters had graduated from our beloved University given the verification platforms that currently exist for magazine sellers to verify a discount to student subscribers.
Sadly, I've initiated a number of threads here that deal with BASIC ECONOMICS, and yet they become a "playground" for idiotic claims and absurd political "what-about-isms" by those who (a) suffer from poor reading comprehension and (b) those that are poorly educated and operate from a terribly flawed knowledge base in which they're literally only able to "speak" thru cut and paste "tweets". Most of the time, they have no comprehension of what they tweeted.
For example, just this morning I log on to find a lover of Movies comparing Q4 GDP from 2024 (Biden) with Q3 of 2025 GDP (Trump).
For obvious reasons. no one in the business world makes such an inane comparison. No one....
This is why I've now (soft) capped myself at just 10 posts a day in OT. If management refuses to raise the bar, then I have to limit my time here. Wading through all of the nonsensical rubbish here by keyboard warriors posting 50x a day just isn't worth it.
This is how a forum dies.
Hurt feelings? All kinds of data are looked at. Monthly revenue, quarterly revenue, rolling three month average, margins, category margins, gross sales, gross profit, etc.
When Q4 comes out we'll have that to add. Lots of upward trajectory. Will we hit a quarterly 6% growth??!!
No matter what I posted, you'd find a negative reply.

"More Americans (44%) support protests against ICE than support ICE itself (39%), Axios' Josephine Walker writes from a YouGov survey taken the day Good was killed.
Just 27% said the agency's tactics were "about right" compared to 51% who called them "too forceful." Another 10% said they were "not forceful enough."

But because there is little "effort" here by management to support high quality posting given a bar that is quite low, this kind of "rubbish" is allowed for high volume posters who pollute the forum 24/7.
This is why quality posters like Unit2sucks have left. And it's sad, because that guy was clearly one of the smarter guys in the room. His posts were incredibly insightful.

You sir, are half the problem. You speak entirely from a place of entitlement and never from a place of teaching. If people are wrong about things, TEACH them don't demean them. Nobody really cares about your self imposed cap. That's something you did for yourself. Nobody forced that on you.
The forum had great discussions yesterday about ICE, even without you. Several members on opposite sides of the aisle engaging in debate and conversation instead of slandering others.
You have much to learn for being so "wise"
I am not wading into this debate (nor really followed it) but a core problem (true not just here but the entire internet) is the time it takes to refute and "teach" following posts that are insane. It calls for self policing. You shouldn't ever compare Q3 and Q4 gdp from different years and think you are making a point. But it takes even more time to grab the GDP data from the StLFed, understand the garage a not really have a feeling you are changing anyone's mind. The ideal should be self restraint - thinking about whether your post is done to advance a dialogue or just to troll and "own the libs".
Exactly.
The priority and question before posting should be, "Am I really adding value to the discussion."
Instead, we have a handful of people posting absurd "data" that they don't even know WHY it's so laughable. And when it happens, they don't even bother to follow up or seek further understanding. --- They've already moved on to creating another inane post on another thread.
The icing on the forum CAKE is someone who claims he posts FACTS that people cant handle. And when they're shown that those "facts" aren't facts, they whine and cry and play the victim .... claiming that they've been PERSONALLY ATTACKED.
Can you say Snowflake?
Did you ask yourself that question before posting this?

I think something has turned in the discourse with this latest incident. Even conservative commentators are finding it hard to defend ICE's actions here.

I for one am glad they've found gainful employment again. I imagine many of them were hurting financially after they lost their position being bussed from rally to rally for Kamala Harris.
"[He] intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him, people he calls, quote, 'the enemy from within.' This is someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power."
