What is the point of grading outside of STEM classes anyway?

Just pass or fail that shit. It doesn't matter. Humanities students don't matter either. All the university wants is their student loan checks. All the students want is a piece of paper and a feeling of Marxist superiority for knowing the critical theory. Win-win.

Fuck it. Might as well just be honest about what this shit really is.

[Speaker to Animals]

I mean.. I say take away the grades. Give them what they want. Then they will realize how fucking useless they are and how much they really do not matter to anybody.

What better way to dehumanize a group of people than to tell them it doesn't even matter if they are graded because they won't have important jobs, and they won't matter to anybody. Just show up and fill out the student loan paperwork.

Universities don't receive student loan checks they already get the money. The point is to draw more money, more loans, they don't care. Undergraduate? Please. the real money is in Graduate school.

Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Immoral’ Our System ‘Allows Billionaires to Exist’
https://news.grabien.com/story-ocasio-c ... ires-exist

COATES: “I hate to personalize this, but do you think it is immoral for individuals to, for instance — do we live in a moral world that allows for billionaires? Is that a moral outcome and and of itself?”

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “No, it’s not. It’s not.

(Cheers and applause)

It’s not, and I think it is important to say that — I don’t think that necessarily means that all billionaires are immoral. It is not to say that someone like Bill Gates,for example, or Warren Buffett are immoral people. I do not believe that.”

COATES: “Like, he kicks his dog, stuff like that.”

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Yeah, I don’t — I’m not saying that, but I do think a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong.

[Speaker to Animals]

I wouldn't call it "immoral", it just is what it is, but she has a point that quite a lot of Americans struggle while the rich kick the shit out of them using graft and corruption in the political class.

I think where she is wrong is in thinking we could really do much by taxing the shit out of billionaires. We could make a dent, for sure, but it wouldn't magically uplift everybody below median income.

To do that you have to stop all this immigration and end the job offshoring. Or maybe a combination of a more severe progressive tax policy and ending immigration.

Both sides have part of the solution, most likely, but we have to put it together. Problem is, the AOCs aren't willing to stop the immigration because they are committed to white genocide, and the libertarian/conservatives don't want to tax rich people.

Or we could just, you know, stop subsidizing megacorps.

[clubgop]

but muh PBS, muh NPR. You first, bitch.

Three weeks after the Congresswoman for New York called for an income tax rate of as much as 70 percent on the wealthiest Americans, billionaire investor Ray Dalio suggested that the idea may have legs in the run up to the U.S. presidential election. Discussing the outlook for a slowing world economy, Dalio said that next year will see “the beginning of thinking about politics and how that might

Exclusive: A new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll finds that 74% of Democrats (and people who lean Dem) would consider voting for Ocasio-Cortez if she were old enough to run for president. (She's 29; you have to be at least 35.)

That includes the 17% who would "definitely" vote for her.
Jon Cohen, SurveyMonkey's chief research officer, tells me: "These data show the phenomenon is real — she tops Sen. Schumer in favorability among Democrats, and overall nearly rivals Speaker Pelosi."

Anyone who says AOC doesn't represent mainstream DNC voters is full of shit.

I think only Old-Timers, who simply haven’t accepted the new paradigm, deny Dems are Marxist.
