 The alert/jury system is not here for you...
to grind your personal ax. 

The DUummy has it partially correct.  The alert/jury system is actually in place so that the 'skimmers' can sit back and not be bothered with monitoring anything. 

The DUmmy goes on about a specific alert that he/she disagrees with, but it is mostly just blather.  The bottome line is, well, the bottom line.  I don't think the DUmmies have caught on to this yet.
This too shall pass.

You have to admit that Skammer knows his audience and is playing them like a fiddle.

Charge more, do less, and make the customer clean the place as well.

It makes him almost look like a real capitalist!

Quite well said, Ogre.   :lmao:   There's something Huck Finn-ish about it.

I said in January that the new jury system will go down as the greatest and most entertaining DU feature, ever. So far I am not wrong.

Could not have designed a better experiment to prove that those that think they are smart are the easiest to be fooled.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Excellent observation on so many levels. Which brings up 2 trivia questions...
Without looking it up,
Who was the author ?
What did the author's pseudonym refer to ?
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
