This seems pretty on-brand for burr.... He's always kind of rooted for the "little guy" so to speak. He's also blunt and doesn't really give a shit if you don't like what he has to say.

If my faith in humanity were higher before I would think long covid had huge measurable impacts on average intelligence.
It probably did, but bluntly, when were already this far down, getting worse isn't really noteworthy.
I watched that clip on Kimmel. I don't normally watch but I like Bill Burr. Kimmel got really uncomfortable after he said Free Luigi. Not just like the network telling him, but in a way that seemed like Kimmel doesn't understand why people like Luigi.
That's okay. I don't understand why people like Kimmel.
There's lots of things I don't understand.
Like the color of thought and the sounds of a rainbow.
In my town a rainbow sounds like wet synthetic rubber tires driving by on a dry road
It feels humid but the sun is shining on your face. Your feet are wet if you are barefoot.
Then turn around, that’s what a rainbow is
Sometimes you get a double when a big truck rolls by
As if. It meant something. But it’s just rain and sun, moon and stars.
You can almost feel the bass
Kimmel is really quiet leftist, so he gets it. But he's also beholden to network executives who only understand money and the things that make them money. And advertisers don't like Luigi or the idea that CEOs are disposable.
Kimmel is a brogressive limousine liberal.
That doesn't make him a bad guy, but based on what I've seen of Kimmel it's entirely possible that he would not understand
He's selling what sells
Evidently what sells is dead ceos and he's missing the ball.
Kimmel gets it...his advertising people won't be happy about it though.
I think a lot of rich leftists are hoping that shit holds together long enough that they can die comfortable, even if it means poor people have to suffer decades.
It's against the rules of lemmy.world to call for violence against insurance companies, and the people who work for them, so I won't. But I don't think it's against the rules to imply I would if that wasn't in the rules.
Did you know that it's illegal to say "I want to kill the president of the United States of America"?
Do you think that sketch would be allowed on air these days
sounds like something the whitest kids you know might say.
Depends on the moderator. The can say it’s a “call for violence”
Bunch of pussy bullshit
Let Bill do it for you!
It's not against the rules to imply that the rules should be different.
Unfortunately it's the jurisdiction that they operate under that enforce some of those rules.
Because of the implication?

This is slightly off-topic, but I really hope someone films this new Broadway version of Glengarry Glen Ross, because Bill Burr and Bob Odenkirk doing Mamet? Holy fuck do I want to see that.
Yeah, I listen to the Smartless podcast and they've brought it up a few times lately, including when KK was on there recently. I have very little interest in theater, but the cast alone makes me want to check it out. The cast alone will also be why I can't afford to go probably.
