Among daily social media users, 49 percent say social media platforms make their lives better, while 37 percent say they make their lives worse.

Democrats, women and college graduates are more likely to say that social media make their lives better, versus Republicans, men and those without college degrees who are more likely to disagree.

Not sure what you want in reply. All I can say is....so what ?

What is the point. I am always said to be political but then we have this. Do not get the point you are making

FALSE information and DISinformation IS IN FACT spread on social media.....not the only source, as we see on this social media source.

Many of us have had our Covid-19 shots, are gently and enjoyably seeing old friends again, are staying caught up and enjoying pictures of sisters and cousins and aunts on Facebook who are photographed enjoying Mother's day. We are reading what some one thinks we should be calling men and woman and that some say that mothers should be called, birthing units. We are reading and watching lot of inflammatory stuff on the National News and some things that are valid. People want to talk about the groups of people who have chosen not to be vaccinated and they are leaving a large group of folks out, because it doesn't fit their narrative.

On this thread we read again a lot of posts from someone who doesn't really read what others post very carefully and is just salivating to make anything and everything political and to bash the high executive who is no longer in office. When he is confronted with something that is correct and in opposition to what he posted, he either ignores it, or attacks the character of the poster.

I am so tired of it.

Exactly how I feel.

The same old and tired comments over and over.

Well Coach, I guess you took too many basket weaving classes and didnt take any math or economics classes. Also have no concept of how the economies of CUBA, Soviet Union etc work and have degenerated over time. The economy was doing just fine pre-COVID.. all time low unemployment. People were glad to work at prevailing wages. Life was good. COVID struck.. one can make an argument that a ONE TIME subsidy kept the country from going into a depression level panic. More government free cheese has kept the mice sitting on the bench with no need to work for food. It is not a wage problem.. It is a government subsidy problem. Who in their right mind would pass a bill that would, on a regular basis, give people more MONEY to not work than to work at jobs they were perfectly happy to perform PRE COVID ? The answer is Socialists, not Capitalists.. Coach, stick to X's and O's .. because your Dollars and Cents make absolutely no SENSE

Incredible.

You complain about me a lot, to many folks.

Yet, in this case you fail to acknowledge my post was a reply to another poster, without comment, to simply support the view that DIS information is rampant on many site.

That's okay. Typical, as I understand from others.

Take care..

Inside of THE LINK YOU posted were these exact words;

What the last few years have shown us to be a sad fact of our nation, is that there is a large contingent that in spite of being confronted with overwhelming facts and proof, from legitimate sources, will basically still say - "I don't care, I believe what I (or he/she tells me to) believe."

Now many on here simply come here to "find fault" sort of as a hobby, and that is where I have you slotted, right or wrong.

I worked for the GOP for years, been an activist for that party for over 50 years.

The party left me....I am, and always will be a conservative who believes in truth, morals and have never moved. The party became corrupt and I left. Does not mean that everything they say, I reject. I am an American before any party.

I do not follow or believe in conspiracy theories as they do at present.

I believe in honesty and not blatant lies.

I also believe, my party will descend even lower unless...well, don't know what will be the savior.

I point out, and all of this is to show how you misjudge. The GOP picked up seats in the last election, but lost the WH. Means the weak llink is at the top....and the embracing continues

BillCrystal and Joe Scarboro both agree with you. The Party left them not visa versa. You are in good company. The US needs 2 patriotic parties that meet in the middle!

Pick up the mike and try to look behind the obvious and the propaganda.

Sickening to see what our beloved country has become in just a few short months.

The boy scout motto is "be prepared". Might I suggest next trip packing edible foods that do NOT require refrigeration? That's what I do. It is called being a "free spirit"!

I know what I posted, and ask what is the problem...YOU said I made it political....is that it....heck, very few or your posts or anyone on here do not reference politics in one way or another.

I know that you know my intent was to point out the serious DIS information problem that exists in this country...that was what I was replying to......I never said anything about any party.

The fact that in the link, it had a breakout like that means nothing........YOU picked up on politics.

i will continue to supply links because I find it very devious to "just say stuff" without showing how you came to that conclusion. That used to be a rule on TOTV when political discussions did not descend to personal character assassination but issues.

DISINFORMATION IS a very big issue.

FACEBOOK is probably the most used vehicle for that stuff as they are the biggest.

THUS, it is legitimate to discuss that if you CARE.

Your imagined political defense about this says a lot.

If you feel that DISinformation is not an issue, then tell us why you feel that way. But supply real world reasons for why you feel it is not a problem.

PS....I had to wade through so many posts mentions politicians by name just to get here, but they will stay and they did not use a link......simply said it.
