Not sure why your OG post is still up.

Voter ID solves a non-existent fraud problem and does so by making voting harder.

And you have some memory of some account from someone 12 years ago in a state you can't remember saying that a third of voters had someone pretend to be them?

If this were close to true, it wouldn't be some blog post that you can't remember; it would have been a national scandal and it would have been something that we would never forget because the election stealer conspiracy theorists would never let it go.

Really, you should just delete this post as it's irresponsible and lacks any data.

$500B for all kinds including TV and online

$300B for newsrooms including all staff

$140B for newsroom reporters only

So yeah, I think the price of the information ingested is way higher than training costs

Ask Jeeves hired hundreds of cheap liberal arts majors to classify data, some users thought Jeeves was real, the stock spiked when big companies hired Jeeves to automate support thinking it was a silver bullet, and the whole thing collapsed when a better model came along, and it degenerated into ripping off rubes with bottom of the barrel ads.

If scripts are turned off in your browser or if you press a reader mode button, those kinds of registration walls won't load.

Hell yes, you should read it.
