    @Axtremus said in Inflation: https://www.wired.com/story/the-bird-flu-outbreak-has-taken-an-ominous-turn/ The article is mainly about bird flu outbreak. Relevant to the price of egg is this snippet: ... the US, where 43 million laying hens were either killed by avian flu last year or slaughtered to prevent the disease from spreading. Those losses took out almost a third of the national flock of laying hens; according to the US Department of Agriculture, they cut into egg supplies so much that prices at the end of the year were 210 percent higher than at the end of 2021. ... Uh, you kinda forgot about the increases in diesel fuel and feed didn't you?

    @Horace said in Intelligence vs. Money: @Jolly said in Intelligence vs. Money: Perhaps we can lump college professors into the teacher category? That might violate the 'underpaid' category. Add "adjunct" into the mix and the category is good again.
  • Doctors are racist

    The actual analysis didn't blame racism for what happens to Black mothers, or include any evidence — not a shred — that doctors and nurses caring for pregnant women and newborns are racist. Even so, the Times pushed the conclusion that higher death rates are the "effects of racism" because minority mothers are "treated differently and given different access to interventions." That's false. This is a pattern with the emotionally true narratives of the left. They are not interested in solving problems or reducing symptoms. They are interested in reinforcing narratives to make the useful idiots feel prescribed outrage feelings, so they can vote in prescribed ways. It never boils down to addressing and alleviating the issues in a rational way. Issues are only addressed in emotional ways, with the only real and provable effect of those ways, being further cultural indoctrination and voting patterns. When an oppressed person gets mistreated by police, none of the unwise behavior on the part of the oppressed is a subject of discussion. In fact, you'd get the social death penalty for bringing that up. When our Democracy is threatened in a "coup" that could have been prevented with some basic security measures, those security measures are never discussed. The sad thing is, that emotional truths are just as real to the useful idiots engaged in them, as any other sort of truth. As long as the culture is right there along with you in those emotional truths, they feel perfectly truthy. This is how humans operate.

    @jon-nyc said in Enemies of the State? in New York?: Against my better judgement I pretended to take it seriously and spent the 30s required to debunk it. All teacher applicants are fingerprinted, and ALL are sent to the FBI. All individuals seeking employment with the NYC DOE or one of its contracted vendors are required to be fingerprinted. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE NYC DOE TAKES MY FINGERPRINTS? All fingerprints are sent to New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. https://infohub.nyced.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/fp-challenge-info.pdf That’s the last time though. Next time you post a link to the American Thinker (sic) I’ll just say “fingerprints???” Great… Why was the FBI sent the fingerprints AFTER their terminations? Preemptive background checks? Ok…Sending them after the fact is a different story.
