What’s Going on Here?
The gorgeous meme at left poses an interesting question: Are things getting worse, or simply more overt?
Well, let’s compare today’s world with the one we lived in 50 years ago.
In 1975, with Gerald Ford at the helm, how much of the following were part of our lives?
• Corporate criminality
• Lawlessness in the office of the POTUS
• A president who uses the justice system to attack journalists critical of him.
• Rejection of basic science in our policymaking
• Overt destruction of the U.S. educational system
• The tearing apart of relationships with American allies
For my money, things actually are getting worse.
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (@epagov) released a proposal that would gut the 2009 Endangerment Finding and undermine the foundational scientific finding that global warming pollution endangers public health and the environment. At the same time, it’s repealing strong car and truck pollution limits and threatening other vital standards.
Re: the opinion expressed at left, I’m not naive enough to think that I’m changing the political philosophy of any significant number of my friends who happen to be Trumpers with my blog and other writings.
Here’s a call for investors to pump money into a Michigan-based start-up that claims it will produce small commuter aircraft with drone-like rotors.
Let’s do some math and physics associated with the claim made here. 
The quote at left comes from former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich. While I don’t disagree, it would be possible to bifurcate this into separate pieces.
We need to start by defining the word “investment.” In the strict sense of dollars in versus dollars out, the subject can be debated; there are plenty of wealthy people who made their money without degrees.
A college education isn’t required to see that Trump is a sociopathic con man, but it helps.
I had to laugh when I saw this blurb about Putin’s banning Satanism in Russia.
I just happened to come across the meme here, and it made me wonder how this was derived.
