How was that a decision not fueled by pure desperation? Who advised this beyond the consulting group that was previously working with Morgan Stanley? Oh my god

Privatization is such a scam.
Not that I doubt the content, but I'd really prefer that we don't accept random YouTube channels the same as news. This is probably better suited for videos.
This is a politics community, not specifically news. Plus the video lists a link to the sources they used in the description. I agree that folks should take a skeptical eye to any videos posted, but outright dismissing all videos is not the solution.
Why not, exactly? If you don't like or trust the content that one format of media provides then you are more than welcome to report it to the staff of the community, but the fact that one is a visual media and another is reading doesn't make it unfit for a community about politics, especially when the topic LITERALLY IS politics.
To me this just reads like insecurity. You want politics to be more "mature" than news which is why you don't watch youtube videos.
Alternatively videos have reasons they make a terrible format for sharing news due to the inherent time investment required and the difficulty of skimming for information. I can read a news article in 3 minutes that takes someone ten to ramble off, and video scrubbers don't help bouncing between and referencing information at all.
Easier in some circumstances to absorb, harder to share and discuss, overall frustrating. No insecurity needed. Your immediate psychoanalysis tells me you might be projecting though. Consider that one for a while lmao.
It's not news. It's from 2009. The data on their returns recently did come out but the deal is already 14 years old. Stop treating it like news. They didn't "just" do this. Chicagos news media exploded about this in 2009 when it happened and this is more of a political analysis about the situation.
And yes everybody is projecting except you.
Do you genuinely believe the terminology of whether you consider this fits as "news" or not has any relation to the problems I outlined?
And yes everybody is projecting except you.
Hmm. Lmao
He has sources linked in the description and a text version with more detail
