In the News II

Quote: DRich

No, I would not like it but I would survive if I chose to. Yes, all of our lives would change from what we know now but for future generations it will all be normal.

You would not survive because you would not have utilities to your home, you would be freezing in the dark. You would not be working because the economy would grind to a halt. It would be "normal" as in 1890 normal.

Quote: AZDuffman

You would not be working because the economy would grind to a halt.

If I get to retire I might wish that upon us.

Why name a child Noah (all of the sudden)?

I'm sad florida Democrats opposed the new financial disclosure law. Not sad that DeSantis also opposed it. Conceivably he was going to be in a position of big money. Maybe not so much now depending on the 2024 election

Quote:

The law was sponsored by Republican Senator Ray Rodrigues and passed by the Republican-controlled legislature12.
The law was vetoed by Democratic Governor Ron DeSantis, who argued that it was “an invasion of privacy” and "a disincentive to public service"13.

Yup, wanting to know how politicians are making their money while in office.

I’m such a dope. I thought DeSantis was a Republican…..


Apparently the quote mentioning DeSantis as a Democrat doesn’t come through…

What a shame. The anti-semitic Jew hitting black woman president of Harvard has finally resigned. She had the shortest term in the history of Harvard she lasted 6 months. She was a blatant plagiarist and was totally unqualified for the job to begin with. Just like Joe Biden, she never had an original thought in her life and just stole everybody else's and claimed they were hers. Now of course the Lefty black community is screaming that Harvard has to replace her with another black woman. Why, because Claudine Gay was such a great example? LOL

Normal people don’t care who runs Harvard.

This is the joy of not having cable anymore, I haven’t had to hear anything about this story. Clearly the righties are very invested in it for some reason though.

Not specifically. But normal people want people to succeed, or fail, not due to their race, but their abilities. If you are unable to answer the softball questions she failed at, she has proven she does not have the necessary abilities to lead a major university. Sounds like she got where she was by plagiarism as well.

I’m not exactly sure what the necessary qualifications are for a University President, but I know she is an abject failure. Seems like a good job for Obama.
