I am but a rube. Would one of the leftist board members be kind enough to educate me on what “San Francisco values” are and how we might recognize them in, uhhh, San Francisco?

Been there once years ago.  Seemed a nice place but, how should I say this, quirky city.  Lot's of neat places to go but lot's of homeless and literally insane people on the street.  I don't know why they have so many.  Weather is only ok.  They've had problems for a long time.

One might have thought the “benefit” of decades of uninterrupted progressive governance would have resulted in utopia on the bay. Instead it’s a sh*thole. Go figure.

Acedemic institutions running a country club for intellectuals living the comfortable life pillaging the system and comsuming high level of resources while producing little of value. A permanent vacation.  No wonder they support socialism. They're already living it.

A cost/benefit of that colege degree weighing in with interest and expected income might show it a poor investment.

you seem resentful.

I can't think of an actual socialist from my college class.  In fact, many work in finance, in the heart of the capitalist system.

The cost/benefit has been done.  On average, people with degrees make much more over the course of a career...enough to offset the cost of school and interest.  I've posted the data twice now, from the census bureau I believe.  Now, if someone is borrowing every penny, they would be wise to look at cheaper alternatives.  I have friends who sent their kids to a local community college while they lived at home.  Then transferred to "name" state schools  where they got their degrees .  I left med school about $100k in debt.  Much more in todays dollars.  I paid it all off as fast as I could, moonlighting during residency to stop interest from accruing.  It can be done without too much long term financial pain if you are trained in a good paying profession or career.  BTW, med school was hardly a vacation.  About 10% of my class couldn't cut it and dropped out.

I hope the writer's get a huge cut of the money made from their work.  They're basically the real talent because without them, there is no show for these actors to perform. 

 

Meanwhile "Gutfeld!" is still going strong.

You are retired and the world has changed, not sure how you do not realize how much academia has changed in the past 25 years. Also the cost benefit is based on people who are 50+ and not discussing those who have the worthless degrees that cost 200k that have only existed for 25 years. As you personally stated at one time UF was an easy school to get into and now it is the #1 ranked public school in the country according to WSJ. Lastly my son has an open socialist as his philosophy professor, so the students might be less the problem then the professors.

Yes, things have changed in, cough-cough, 40 years.   But I have some continuing interactions with contemporary students thru teaching and attending university sponsored conferences.  $100k in the early 80's was more than $200k now.  My primary care doc has med students with him almost every time I go in.  I gifted several tix to a Rotary wine tasting and they came..  Super nice kids but I do feel sorry for them with the debt they have and the direction Medicine has gone.  I was surprised by UF's competitiveness.  I had really good time there but it was like a time share sales show for their grad school.  If they still do that, I'd encourage your kid to apply.   There was even housing and a stipend provided.  There may be an openly socialist prof or 2 where I went to undergrad.  I didn't know them.  There were many more conservative role models with great minds from great institutions.  WSJ subscription was required reading for any Econ class...I wouldn't be concerned with the Philosophy prof.  He/she will be teaching Locke and Hobbes as well as Marx....

So famous slob Fetterman can adorn the Senate floor in his gym shorts?

 

I know I’m hopelessly old fashioned. But is it too much to at least require something resembling business casual?

Of the huge list of problems in congress, this one is pretty low on my priority list.

I watched it once, I won't watch it again. 

 

It is too upsetting.

 

 

A disturbing killing, and the media won't touch it

by Jack Cashill

 

As I write this on September 16, the New York Times has yet to mention Andreas Probst, the retired 64-year-old California police chief brutally murdered on August 14 in Las Vegas. The initial silence is understandable. Probst was killed while bicycling at about 6 A.M. along a quiet road. The assumption was that he was the unfortunate victim of a careless driver who fled the scene. By August 31, the media had access to the video recorded in real time by the passenger in the vehicle. It is chilling. The driver and his companion, both males, had apparently stolen the Hyundai

Claims are enough.

 

 

Timeline

 

2006-2013 some stuff might of happened

 

2014-2022 - nothing

 

2022- Brand becomes red pilled on some issues especially on Covid lockdowns, big pharma, and against the war in Ukraine

           Brand starts a daily Live show on Rumble video

 

2022- British media suddenly seek out women from brands past 

 

2023- brand has over 6 million YouTube subscribers and 1.3 million rumble subs

 

2023- he goes on a us tour appearing on places like Joe Rogan show

 

2023 - he had tucker Carlson on his Rumble show with millions of viewers and is becoming more popular

 

Sept 2023- British media release the hit piece

- the police says no women have come forward so far but encourage them to do so

- British politicians demand police investigation into Brand

- his sponsors cancel his comedy tour

- YouTube demonetized his channel costing him big bucks

 

Number of guilty verdicts against Brand = zero

 

Number of open court cases= zero

 

Number of official police investigations so far = zero

 

Times Brand talked about wrong think = too many for the establishment

 

 

 

* Don't bother with the "defending a groomer" bullspit.  If he is guilty, burn him.

What I am doing is pointing out the way things work when you turn against the left.

Something I learned here:

Defending the alleged groomer makes you a groomer.

Groomer.
