@SydneyLWatson Law schools and Philosophy of Law are academic and the academy is now fully marxist. Purge is needed, government funded education must end.
@beyngofbeing@DanielKotzin Until Musk bought Twitter this place was also doing the government's bidding. That was also an imbrication of State and Capital but it was sinister in that worked around the First Amendment of the Constitution. Military projects and improving general efficiency are not sinister.
@DKThomp The "million pound anchor dragging down the party" is President and pulled the House and Senate majorities into office with him. You know nothing, you are nothing.
It was pretty remarkable to watch this happen on CNBC.
Host Brian Sullivan shut down former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb after Gottlieb tried to interrupt him while he was explaining why the media’s coverage of measles outbreaks has been far too simplistic.
Sullivan called the reporting “lazy” for automatically blaming Trump supporters and anti-vaxxers...then Gottlieb tried to steamroll him.
Sullivan wasn’t having it — “Let me finish!”
SULLIVAN: “I want to push back a little bit, Doctor, and say this, that there’s a lot of lazy reporting out there about these measles outbreaks where it’s like, well, we hear that outbreaks are in Texas and in South Carolina, and it automatically defaults to some political thing.”
GOTTLIEB: “Yeah, I agree with that.”
SULLIVAN: “That’s lazy reporting. If you look at the data, the data is publicly available…”
That’s when Gottlieb tried to interrupt him.
GOTTLIEB: “Well, what I will say to that…”
Sullivan fired right back.
SULLIVAN: “No, no! Let me finish!”
“This is critical. This is not…it may be political, but it’s also very religious.”
“A lot of the outbreaks, the majority of the outbreaks in Texas were among basically an Amish community. They’re not going to take vaccines no matter what you do.”
“One of the South Carolina outbreaks, almost all of it was centered around a tight knit Slavic, very religious community in Spartanburg, South Carolina.”
“These are not people who are anti-vaxxers because of politics.”
“They just, their religion does not believe in it.”
“So what are we willing…and there’s a lot of just laziness out there reporting where it’s like, well, they’re Trumpers so they’re anti-vaccine.”
“I’m sure there’s some of that, but how much are we willing to tell a religious community that doesn’t believe in this and hasn’t for 100 years, and won’t 100 years from now that they are required to do something that their religion says they should not do?”
“And that’s the challenge!”
Well done Mr. Sullivan. This would have never happened on CNBC just a few years ago.
@JohnnyBCCB@bscholl Breaking windows and fixing broken windows. SPLC spending money on funding the KKK. Religious charities importing immigrants from all over the world with government grants. Growth would still occur under a gold standard but less, with financial deflation making debt very bad.
Reminder: inflation is a relatively recent phenomenon. When the dollar was on a fixed gold standard we had no persistent inflation.
We can go right back to price stability the moment we choose.
