Florida Students Given Lifelike Dolls To Simulate Responsibility Of Owning Slave

11 comments

The Onion is pulling no punches lately.
- Their pitch room must be running 24/7 with all the material lately.
Took me a minute to realize it was the Onion.
- Yep. It's the strategy to ensure people remain desperate and too afraid to do anything.
  
  How long until Florida reintroduces "apprenticeship programs" to deal with the shortage of agriculture workers their immigration policy has created.
Somehow, this feels like less of a joke than the real events it's based on.
- Onion used to do satire. Now it's just a prediction machine.
My heart froze for a second when I thought I saw nottheonion and I'm glad I was wrong
This hurt my soul a little bit.
Listen, I love The Onion but don’t give ‘em ideas, man…
I'm ever so slightly disappointed that they didn't work in the recent statement about teaching the slaves "skills" to benefit them.
