Does murder constitute toxic work environment?

ICWT News Brief — August 30, 2024

Do you still believe in the American dream? I do. Why? Because this week after a journalist said a Las Vegas city official “created a toxic work environment,” the city official murdered him in retaliation. 

Sure — in this case, that definitely sounds like a toxic work environment. That said, it must be noted that the mental liberty required to take action like the city official did AND have a chance off getting away with it, is what makes America a beacon of freedom; the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Quite literally, to live in America right now you must be brave. We are now, by definition, the home of the brave. Free speech? That’s table stakes. Free speech and getting murdered for the thing you said? That’s America. That’s home. That’s the American Dream.

Thankfully this guy was convicted. 1 charge for homicide, 1 charge for eyebrows to baldness ratio.

The Daily Gobble x YouTube Recommendations

We all watch popular content for entertainment, but what’s recommended to you is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s the 1% of content. The 99% of content that doesn’t hit your feed? That’s where things get interesting. It’s a raw, unfiltered, peek into the real psyche of the public, and we think you should watch. 

Today, The Daily Gobble recommends:

1) Digital Marketing Gurus Continue to Proliferate

Is Michael Barayev an AI entity trained on Vegas club promoters and Bar Mitzvah emcees? No. He’s a marketing genius. In this masterpiece he describes his 4 stages of getting popular on social media. The stages are: (1) Getting noticed, (2) getting criticized, (3) being hated, and then (4) miraculously becoming popular. Something tells me he is stuck in stage 3, and he’s very hopeful that he’s right about stage 4. The comments are good:

I love this guy’s hair. I love his whole accent thing. I love how in the beginning of the video when he tells you his credentials, he talks so fast it is genuinely unintelligible, forcing you to trust his authority on a good-faith basis. If this guy influences the next generation of business owners, we are in luck here in America.

2) Casting Room: George Sepa

I’m not going to go into too much detail on this video. But George Sepa is an actor from [UNKNOWN]. His whole channel is good for a quick laugh. I particularly like this video: Sensitive Meathead. Other recommendation

s include “Cowboy Deaths”, “Mailman Bob”, and “Ed”. I really am rooting for this guy. Maybe one day we can make him famous. He’s good natured, hard working, and entertaining. Go George.
