  • That is a good point, and to be honest, I had completely forgotten about both assassination attempts. When I heard him bring it up during the debate that “he took a bullet to the head”, it just felt like every other crazy grandpa story. Especially since he also says stuff like “they’re eating the dogs and cats”.

    Since there haven’t been any policy changes and no one even seems to WANT policy changes, it’s yet another in the long list of “thoughts and prayers”.

    But agreed on the imagery of how political campaigns look with guns. It gets a bit too “Y’allquaeda”. I just want the campaigns to show him as the whiny baby he is.












  • That’s not the fault of the user/students, though. They’re different tools. One is outright worse than not using it. Neither produce lasting benefits.

    Headline: Screwdrivers better than hammers for screws.

    Text: When craftspeople were trained using hammers with screwdriver bits duct-taped to them, they were able to perform the task, but were not able to keep pace with people using screwdrivers. Another team was given power drills, which were effective in practice. However, these did not produce any benefit once all people were given screwdrivers.





  • Everyone should read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

    It was written almost 120 years ago, and shows just how horrendous these working conditions used to be before the FDA existed. Everyone who wants to cripple the ability of the FDA to regulate these plants wants those kinds of inhumane working conditions back.

    It has a socialist message in the second half, but remember - socialism doesn’t replace democracy. Socialism replaces Capitalism.
