Vice is crap, though I did enjoy reading some of the strange sexual articles. Hopefully the other 'v' one Vox is next, the articles I see from them are some of the worst propaganda I have seen, and they dont even have funny stuff

See the trend - WSJ bought by Murdoch, WaPo bought by Bezos, Buzzfeed shutting down, Gawker croaked, and now Vice? NYT and Reuters are headed by pro-Israel Nazis. Meanwhile journalists and news organizations NOT investigating rich people are swimming in cash. The flood of click-bait media overcomes investigative journalism that targets the wealthy. Gone are the days of Pulitzer-prize-winning investigative journalism that exposed the rich and powerful. This is part of a 40-year trend that has seen Sinclaire and other Mega-corps buy up news media so that they can narrate 'reality'. I hope you won't feel good about the loss of any relatively independent resource that has - at least in part - investigated corruption. That's one less company interested in exposing the 1%'s corruption, which has been at the expense of the 99%.

It's been a long time since Vice was interested in exposing the 1%'s corruption. I'd mourn them if they were still what they started out as, but they've been a willing cog in the machine for many years now.

We can only hope every MSM does this.

In the early days, it wasn't so bad. And I did enjoy some of their reporting. As with all left-leaning publications, though, they got swallowed by the woke.

Lol, the whole banking system is on the verge of collapse and unless a deal is made, the USA will have to declare bankruptcy on June 1st. The White liberals and low IQ violent boons will have finally destroyed the USA. Wonder if they’ll like what comes next, the dumb bastards.

That's some pretty bold claims. Any source to back it up?

I think he might be right. I don't have a nice tidy source for you, but the issue is that these banks only had to have fractional reserves, and their 'safe' investments in bonds got fucked because of the FED raising interest rates, and their 'risky' investments are in inflated real estate that's about to pop.
Which means the banks aren't solvent, and the only thing preventing a collapse is people ignoring the situation. Every bank that customers have withdrawn their money from en masse has fallen because they don't have the money to cover withdrawals.
It's scary.

We have more problems than worrying about Vice

The whole banking system is about to collapse. Tomorrow, Powell will state on the decision whether the whole banking system will shut down next weekend or if its controlled demolition is going to be a bit more methodical and slower.
Oh but Vice.

Giving politicians access to unlimited money simply in exchange for a piece of paper marked ‘Treasury Bond’ and playing up to groups of voting free loaders…WCGW?
But yes, Vice is going bankrupt. How sad! /s
