The context is that the mods of r/politics have long had a reputation for being inconsistent and erratic in various ways.

Obviously I don’t actually know the full context, but it strikes me as utterly plausible given the likelihood of a report by someone who disagreed with them and a mod team prone to shooting from the hip

I mean, sometimes my wife has thrown something extra smelly in the garbage while cooking and wants me to take the quarter-full bag out so the house doesn’t reek.

I should absolutely be asked to take the trash out in that case, and she shouldn’t need a whole story for said request. She frequently does because that’s just her communication style. Lots of extras. Mucho frustrating for me.

But it’s probably just an example for illustration.

Well the challenge with that is avoiding making the articles stale for the wider public, given that the news typically focuses on current events. An article about, say, the negotiations to avoid the impending US government shutdown would be stale by the time it gets to the general public under such a model, so then we’re effectively back to the hated paywall to get the information in a useful timeframe.

Nah, it’s not uncommon in the trades in the US to expect workers to bring their own tools. It’s bullshit, but unfortunately we’ve normalized lots of bullshit here.

Only with the T would this be a noteworthy headline - but great to see that they might be able to get the staffing situation together before I die of old age now!

Unlikely indeed, but would be very welcome of it happened.

Otherwise, as is often the case, Liz Warren has got something for that (which will go nowhere in this useless Congress)
