- Why are Republicans planning to boost the cost of the SNAP program?
- The supposedly neutral and factual Dictionary.com smears Mike Vanderboegh and misrepresents the founding concepts of his Three Percent movement. (Which, alas, has already been sickeningly distorted by gangs of eejits who claim to represent and lead the III%.)

- Seattle’s socialist/regressive attempt to make Amazon pay it’s mythical “fair share” is backfiring badly.
- Hey look! It’s a dog who understands the Federal Reserve system better than most humans do.
The thing about Amazon is that it could easily pull up stakes and resettle somewhere even out of US jurisdiction. Same for Microsoft and other big tech-heavy firms. I’d bet Microsoft could all but literally own some of those little countries to the south of us…and their employees might like living somewhere warm where things are relatively cheap.
Seattle’s city government seems to love shooting itself in the foot! Now it’s this head tax! Their $15 minimum wage is not only hurting businesses, it’s hurting workers as well!
Seattle’s $15 minimum wage may be hurting workers, report finds
Ironic.
As I remember it (and I do) shootings at Kent State and Jackson State College, in 1970, started the “no-guns-on-campus” movement. However, it wasn’t about guns in student hands, or owned by faculty. The original movement was all about getting government guns off-campus.
You see, those shootings were by the Ohio National Guard at Kent State, leaving four students dead and nine wounded; and Jackson Police Department and Mississippi Highway Patrol at Jackson State, leaving two dead and 12 wounded.
The response was to never, ever call in national guard; to keep armed law enforcement well off-campus; and to shut down any government-run student program with government guns, like ROTC.
So when you have Kent State Police Academy cadets calling in Kent State police officers on a fellow student, it’s ironic indeed.
I would love to introduce Deanne Carson to my wife. When our daughters were infants, there was no consent; they pretty much demanded to be both fed and changed.
The sweet and very patient mother of our two daughters would smile at Ms. Carson, and curse her. As in, “May you have a child just like you.”
I don’t think the Seattle City Council is capable of learning anything from the conflict with Amazon. Unfortunately, I also believe that the leaders of Amazon and other such corporations are likewise incapable of learning from the experience.
There is no evidence that at any one time there was more than III% in the field for the colonies as David indicated.
Those that smear Mike and his III% concept do so out of fear or jealousy; something other than for the truth.
The beauty of Mike’s III% movement is that there is no one leader because we are all leaders and because of that alone his legacy will live way beyond his death.
The math revealed in the article on Seattle and Amazon is shocking. Seattle is spending over $17,000 per year per “homeless” person. That is almost $1,500 per month. That is $8.29 per hour for 40 hours per week all year long. That is enough to feed, house, and clothe somebody in some degree of comfort in most places in the country. What in the world are they spending so much money on?
The regular Harvard Mathematics department has always offered “A.B.” (Bachelor of Arts), “A.M.” (Master of Arts), and Ph.D. degrees in “Mathematics.” If you want a “S.B.” (Bachelor of Science) or “S.M.” (Master of Science) from that institution, you’re going to have to get it in “Applied Mathematics,” where the coursework is substantially easier. (Harvard’s degree abbreviations are backward, to help graduates feel special and entitled.)
The Harvard Math 55 cohort will likely be earning an “Arts” degree, not a “Science” one.
With that said, the STEAM article is really about getting rid of rigor in 99% of most classrooms, which is bad. But I’d also respectfully suggest that doing well in the very best higher mathematics programs is more of an “art” than a “science.” I’d also respectfully suggest that the real divide is between those who have worked their a** off to become good at their chosen discipline vs. those who haven’t.
