Sinclair news readers

vendredi 13 avril 2018 à 02:00

Sinclair ordered local news readers to read a script denouncing other media's "fake news".

A former employee of Sinclair quit a few years ago because he was ashamed of what they ordered him to say on the air.

Sinclair news reciters can't afford to quit their jobs — they are trapped by penalty clauses if they quit before the end of their contract. 20% of American workers are subject to oppressive restrictions on changing jobs.

I'd call this a form of indentured servitude. It should be considered unconstitutional.

Current employees also denounced Sinclair for converting local TV news into mouthpieces of trumpery.

Sinclair responded by privately threatening them.

Preserving cash

vendredi 13 avril 2018 à 02:00

Some in Sweden are fighting to preserve cash payment.

The most basic way to resist surveillance payments is to insist on paying cash, except in situations where your name is already known, such as paying taxes or utility bills. Refuse to pay stores in non-cash.

If you have a few minutes to spare for the cause, go into a store which sells things you use, and ask the staff, "Do you take cash?" If they say yes, buy something. Otherwise, say "I pay only cash; I will buy somewhere else."
