I don't think it's that simple. Heinous allegations can make that business relationship untenable. YouTube has an image to protect as well as other partnerships to maintain. There are people (not just wealthy executives) whose livelihood relies on those things,.

If a person's reputation, fair or not, creates a risk to those things, why should YouTube be forced to assume that risk on their behalf?

The President can do plenty, they just can't do everything and that's a good thing. Trump did a lot of damage in his short time in office, but he could have done a lot more without the balance of power between branches of government in the US system.

That said, right now the gridlock is because the House of Representatives has a Republican majority. They're the ruling party in that house, and you need that house to do a lot of things. They're the party with "the most seats" while the Democrats have the slimmest of majorities in the Senate.

Not just US interests, but European and Ukrainian interests as well. There was a multi-national effort to remove Shokin. You think Joe Biden orchestrated all of that to get his son a cushy board membership? It's laughable.

"If you work for part of the day you still get the day off" is certainly an...interesting perspective.

I believe the legal repercussions are part of that "can ruin your life", not just the addiction and/or health concerns.

Though that still makes it an entirely artificial consequence that does not need to and should not exist.

We'll, what's the connection between those things aside from someone identifying in a way that conflicts with outward appearance?

Meaning, do they have the same causes? Are treatment options the same? Do they have the same negative externalities? Do they have the same impacts on the person?

I would argue that the answer to those questions is no. So what similarities do they have that you feel makes the comparisons appropriate?

Putting on the all too familiar Jets copium hat, they pulled out a W under catastrophic circumstances yesterday against a very good division rival. The Bills defense is going to give most QBs trouble especially when the O-Line isn't holding up well, so I don't think you can make too harsh of a judgement on Zach's performance (even though it wasn't too bad as is).

Now he's got a week to prepare with the starting unit and they can game plan around him, so let's see if he's learned anything from Coach Rodgers.
