The outlier in this particular situation is that the alleged killer comes from a well to do family. He's Ivy League educated. Part of his family fortune comes from the health care industry. This guy allegedly decided to trade his privilege to fight the system.😎

As soon as that guy hits bricks, he will become a multimillionaire if he's not already.😎

Right. I think we're both making the same point without argument.😁😎

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2024/12/13/nancy-pelosi-fell-down-stairs-in-luxembourg-will-nee/ 84-year old Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is on a bipartisan Congressional trip to Luxembourg. Apparently, Rep. Pelosi fell and fractured her hip. She was medivac'd to a hospital and is reportedly receiving excellent treatment. However, Rep. Pelosi will not be attending the remaining events on the schedule. Only after being forced to drop out of the race, POTUS PJB is on his way back to Delaware. He can sit in his office there and believe he's still working. Senator Mitch McConnell is still having medical issues but he's stepped down as Senate Majority Leader. Claims he will not seek re-election in 2027. The universe might stamp that decision. America really needs to push for term limits and a mandatory retirement age for politicians. Politicians should not be any different from most citizens who in one way or another are ushered out of the workforce before they reach 70 years old. These politicians aren't working to feed their families. They've already got more money than they'll ever spend in their remaining years. Rep. Nancy Pelosi has a net worth of about $230 millon dollars. She can afford to sat down somewhere...whenever her hip heals.😎

Recently acquitted NYC subway killer will be one of POTUS OJ'S invited guests at the Army-Navy football game today. Like Zimmerman and Rittenhouse before him, Penny will be paraded as a hero and he will become well off financially for putting in work as a race soldier.😎

That's hilarious considering folks claim incoming POTUS OJ pooped on himself while in France last week.🤣😎

https://time.com/7200212/person-of-the-year-2024-donald-trump/ America re-elected a clown. Time magazine names the incoming clown in chief its person of the Year for the 2nd time. This sh8t is unbelievable but consistent. Stalin (2x), Hitler, Nixon and Putin were Person of the Year too. Apparently, being a dictator, terrorist or criminal carries just as much weight as being a peacemaker, humanitarian or inventor.😎

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/12/trump-administration-transition/ Within hours of getting back to the White House, POTUS OJ claims he will be pardoning January 6th rioters. Of course, no one should be surprised if/when the pardons take place since he's mentioned it throughout his campaign to reclaim the POTUS. Nor would I be surprised if rioters received special medals and a monument was erected for rioter Ashli Babbitt who was shot and killed. Hopefully, they won't go an extra mile to charge and prosecute the officer who shot her. It will be interesting to see if history is rewritten regarding the events of January 6th.😎

If such is the case, surely education professionals are being paid in proportion to the revenue they generate. If not, they need to smarten up.😎

Hopefully they will use the money constructively instead of giving it back.😎

Definitely sitting back with my food, drinks and snacks watching how it plays out. Interesting. They're not doing much to keep it from happening. Absolutely. Maintaining power by any means necessary is the primary objective of white supremacy. Killing folks reinforces it.😎

A huge portion of America's wealth was extracted from the land white folks stole from the people who were already here.😎

The same white folks will tell non-white folks that violence and killing people is not how differences and grievances should be settled. They would not be celebrating if a Black man had shot and killed that CEO. White folks celebrate him as a hero for killing a Black man. They felt he eliminated a menace to society. The media is turning these guys into celebrities. They are treated differently by the criminal justice system too. Why? Because these killers directly or indirectly reinforce white supremacy and the privilege that comes with it. Black folks cannot choke out and shoot people in cold blood as an act of vigilantism.😎

Sure. Consumers make people wealthy who in turn can afford to make others rich. It is possible that Iron Mike could have been a wealthy man if he had handled his business better. Most people pay for an education in order to 1) get a piece of paper in order to 2) to increase their chances of getting a good job. Well off people go to colleges and universities in order to network. Folks aren't going to colleges and universities because the professor equivalent of Iron Mike or Juan Soto is there.🤣😎

https://apnews.com/article/unitedhealthcare-ceo-killing-charges-extradition-64ba21747f41c3a81f661900e797b6d7 Allegedly, a rich white guy shoots and kills the CEO of United Healthcare on the streets of NYC. Supposedly, the alleged killer had been radicalized against the health care industry. Some folks are hailing the vigilante killer as a hero for "sticking it to the man". Monetary donations are pouring in and women are offering themselves to the guy. Apparently, white dudes don't have to become a martyr to get 40 virgins.🤣 First, the subway killer gets acquitted. Now, this guy is being celebrated. Both as some kind of heroes. Black folks keep your heads on a swivel. Don't worry too much about POTUS OJ running America into the ground. There's no telling what these racists and white supremacists will be allowed to do. They might put more people in the ground.😎

There's been plenty of drone sightings lately. Several years ago, folks would have sworn they were UAPs/UFOs. Maybe the US military has had drones for well over 50 years.😁😎

INot my style or intention.🤣 How do professors generate money for the institution? The team owners pay athletes millions of dollars. A fraction of the money those owners make from their franchises. Not all all. Comedian Chris Rock pointed out the difference between rich and wealthy.😉 Sure. Iron Mike is rich. The folks who made him that way are wealthy.😎

Nothing to worry about as none of the humans presently on Earth will be around if/when the population drops that dramatically.😎

It is *normal* for humans to think about such things. However, the environment takes care of itself naturally to include purging humans regardless of their normalcy. The Earth has been around for billions of years before humans existed. It is scheduled for several billion more years before the sun burns out. Humans will be long gone from the Earth before the lights are turned out.😎

Dummies had the technology. Smart people who invented tech weren't in control. There's shining example of incongruence. Ties to ongoing discussion in another thread.😁 I don't believe it's a vision problem. Planned obsolescence has been a way of life for several decades now. People have accepted it.😎

Interesting. The Japanese erected a monument to him. Japanese school children know his name. Reads like the Japanese see him as some kind of monster hero.😁 There was a belief that Germany was not going to stop at Europe but planning to take over the world. Revisionist history is an exercise very similar to hindsight which is always 20/20 or better.🤣😎

Sure. The popular vote within most states is winner takes all i.e. electoral votes. Maine is one of the few states where electoral votes can be split. Otherwise, it takes a lot to flip those diehard blue and red states. That 80% of Black men voted for VP Harris as the lesser of two evils. Their vote was a referendum against POTUS OJ. Now, if Black women choose to believe it was a form of solidarity, some brothas will take that plate and rest stop before moving on to their next destination.😁😎

If the US was really serious about education, it would put more effort into mirroring states with the best schools. For example, Massachusetts ranks #1 in the nation. However, education is a collaborative effort between educators and parents and communities. Poor people and low-income neighborhoods are conpromised by several factors before children start school. It's by design that some people are poorly educated here in the US. Still, the overall literacy rate in America ranks high and brawn insures its protection.😁 Baseball player Juan Soto just got a 15 year/$765 million dollar contract. He generates money for his team. There's not a professor on any college campus in America who either makes $50 million per year in salary or who generates that much money for the institution. Iron Mike is rich. He's not wealthy. Check Forbes.😁😎

I've been hearing that for many years. I'd like to know what qualities makes a *good* teacher. Schools certainly aren't closing due to a teacher shortage. The teachers must be *good enough* to keep the doors open. Teachers or in the case of Harvard, professors make a salary but they do not generate money for the institution. Money pours into institutions from athletic programs, grants, donations and tuition. I don't know what you're referring to as automatic. Actually, most of the wealthiest people in the world are smart to some degree.😎

Not automatic. Opportunities and luck are factors too. Plenty gifted and talented people never made it for one reason or another. Bad luck. Limited or no opportunities. OTOH, no shortage of ungifted and non-talented folks have made a fortune. Luck and opportunities. From a capitalistic perspective, teachers are undervalued because 1) there's no shortage of them and 2) their services while important don't make money. OTOH, athletes and entertainers generate wealth. They fill sports stadiums and concert halls with fans who pay to see and hear them including teachers. Here in America we pay medical professionals huge amounts of money because the pharmaceutical industry is big business and makes a ton of money. In other parts of the world, medical professionals get paid like teachers here. No big business boosting them. Being intelligent and/or gifted doesn't automatically make money. The ability to capitalize on intellect and talent and other attributes and assets directly or indirectly makes money. There's also a reason that so many smart people work for dumb people.🤣😎
