          when you make a mistake, and the alternative is much costlier disaster, pay the stupidity fine, and get on with making it better

            That is short term thinking that seems like it is better, but just reinforces the behavior of shitty people to continue being shitty. It wouldn’t even be considered if we were a reasonable society that held shitty people accountable for being shitty.

            Do they pay off middle class or lower people when they are shitty to “go away”?

              they didn’t enter into a contract agreement wit the “middle class”, nbcu entered into a legal and binding contract agreement with roma mcdaniels. are you developmentally disabled, lol. you’ve taken some crazy pills this morning or something. i appreciate you being reasonable upset, but c’mon man.

                The fact that NBC does not enter into comparable contracts with their middle class employees is my point, jackass.

        At this point I’m starting to think that paying her off is the point. Everything else is collateral damage to things they don’t care about anyways. If you’re willing to hire this woman, stuff like “journalistic integrity” doesn’t matter to you. Plus you get to knock down your claims of “liberal bias” in the news, and friends of friends get a legal payout to pay them back for lying about the election and Biden.

        Little bit of controversy, “liberal bias” takes a knock, storm then blows over and a total piece of shit just so happens to walk away paid off.
