A student stands up in a Stanford lecture hall in 1979 and calls poverty a market failure. He is calm, he is prepared, and he has just handed the man on stage the exact opening he wanted.
What happens next was clipped, titled, and watched 700 thousand times. Almost nobody has seen the hour it came out of.
The exchange is worth studying with the sound off. The student is arguing a position. The professor is doing something else entirely, and he does it before answering anything.
He does not dispute the facts. He accepts them, then asks 1 question about a word the student used without defining it, and the whole argument reorganises around that word.
That move is the transferable part, and it has nothing to do with economics. Find the moment he decides which word to isolate, because everything after that is already decided.
The Ferguson effect is real.
When police officers are demonized and criminals are emboldened, more black lives are lost. The media does not care, and we will never hear the victims' names, because it doesn't fit the narrative.
TIM ALLEN - ON TRUMP: Whatever your feelings for Trump, these are some interesting points that Tim Allen makes. Put your hatred aside and think about these observations. Tim Allen is credited with writing this ...
Tim Allen wrote... Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party:
- Women are upset at Trump’s naughty words -- they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.
- Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal.
- No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more...
- Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.
- President Trump’s wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America!
- We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
- They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.
- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.
- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet!
- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?
- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.
- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don’t remember the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office.
- I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump’s approval ratings are low.
- “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”— Margaret Thatcher
- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
- President Trump said — "They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in their way."
Now, go Back & Read this Again like your Future Depends upon it, Because it Does!
Florida’s students once ranked near the bottom in math and reading.
Then the state passed universal school choice.
Now, “Florida ranks #1 in education,” says @DeAngelisCorey.
Schools get better when they have to compete:
The list of “enemies” on the right or left has changed, as the left is now pro war and has captured the judiciary, but the general principle is timeless
After Whoopi Goldberg attempted to tarnish Holtermann’s Bakery with her lie, Staten Islanders showed support by posting TikToks and lining up to buy their baked goods.
This is the American spirit!! 🇺🇸
