What a shocker and, undoubtedly, without a hint of irony...

https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244962042/npr-editor-uri-berliner-suspended-essay

NPR has formally punished Uri Berliner, the senior editor who publicly argued a week ago that the network had "lost America's trust" by approaching news stories with a rigidly progressive mindset.

Another perspective on the NPR hullabaloo.

The linked article is way too long. I got about ,1/3 of the way through.

Berliner violated the rules  and earned a suspension..

"... he had ... failed to secure ... approval for outside work for other news outlets, as is required of NPR journalists."

Something we can all agree on, inflation is nuts. $4.62 for a small hot coffee and a Boston creme donut at Dunkin.

My mechanic now charges $140 an hour for labor. Not long ago it was $90.

So learn how to do that kind of shit yourself. Saves you a lot of money.

Hmmm. I can put brake pads on for the cost of parts, or pay a mechanic for an inflated cost of parts plus his labor. When I can do it just as well if not better because I actually give a shit about something I own.

Hmmm. And you drive an uber for a living. And pay a mechanic. Jesus, Tempo.

How much do you pay your guy to change the oil in your car? And can't you write that shit off anyway?

The story Alum linked to is not very flattering to NPR either...just in a different way.

Spending money at Dunkin is a you problem. Be smarter with your money.

I love telling Tempo that he shouldn't act like a teenage boy with his spending. It's cute.

Just make your coffee and donuts yourself instead of buying them from Indians

Good idea.

Also, I like buying the Entenmanns donuts. With the chocolate coating on the outside. That's kinda like crack, and a lot better than a Dunkin that is overpriced and most likely day old by the time you get it.

I knew we could count on you to not read the article.  Sorry that it's more than two sentences.  Like PAMan said, it's not very flattering.

The guy who Fights for $15 is shocked by one of the ramifications of the Fight for $15?

Mostly, I'm saying there are way better places than Dunkin to get a donut and coffee. That is garbage. And if you spend 5 dollars on garbage, it's on you. Not on inflation.

Custard is stealing Tempo's M.O.?
