Id say the problem is with American culture tho. The US has a weird puritan stance towards nudity. Facebook in this case just panders to the crowd... as they do to the leftists in regards of censorship. So yeah, no need to be hysterical and talk about "disgusting bodies".

Reading stuff like this really concerns me. If you go to /r/worldnews, /r/news or /r/politics, there is literally none pro-right content, and all the comments in existing posts are bashing the GOP/right/Trump/whatever.

I am not an EnLiGhTeNeD CeNtRiSt, I am not from the US at all. Its just weird to see the echo chamber reddit is, calling ALL the people protesting against BLM racists, nazis and what not. At the same time, they are celebrating BLM rioters looting and assaulting people they dont like, but its ok, because they are nazis and racists.

Dont even get me started on Toronto BLM chapter founder saying "White skin is subhuman" - https://twitter.com/therealmissjo/status/966347556304367618 or Bill de Blasio quoting Guevara's "hasta la victoria siempre" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqS1nZkB9sg .

Now why I am concerned. Some people on reddit are calling for forceful disbandment of the GOP. Guys - having just prominent 2 political parties is bad enough already. Reducing that number to 1 is a bad idea IMO.

"But the Democrats are sensible and smart unlike those racist Republicans!"... I wonder where this slippery slope ends. I am sure there's nothing good at the end of it though.

Oh okay. I thought those people in the streets were shouting something about reparations for slavery and what not. My bad.

Why do people think companies act rationally? Behavioral economics shows time and time again people make irrational decisions all the time. Considering company is just a group of people, these irrational decisions are compounded.

So I wouldn't say it's 100% clear whether a company saves money retaining employees vs training new.

Why though? Wouldn't that be racist?
