Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (democratic socialist) wins NY primary

I did notice your comment, and have been intending to research the subject. What I recall from my philosophy class was the assertion that Nietzsche had a view of power on the line of logic that Napoleon used.... That if you have the power, nobody else's views matter.

You should take a deeper look into Nietzche's thought because you would like it a lot. He's all about questioning authority and forging your own path in life.

I don't know very much about very much so I rarely speak with a authority about much.

much

I consider Siro's comments to be some of the best in JFC, like Frankin on economics.

Just want to make note of a post of yours I agree with.

Anybody? @Saint Cy of JFC @dalamon you guys support this (I think). I’d like to hear your thoughts, maybe explain it for me.

Thanks.

This should answer most of your questions.

There are also leftist critiques on programs overly preoccupied with work—https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...ory.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4b31a64531b0

It didn’t really, because it didn’t answer the most important question.

Where are these jobs coming from? It quoted examples like India, which would never work here. I see ideas, I don’t see real logic in the study. I do certainly see some bias, but that’s to be expected.

I do appreciate how they said they would put it at a wage that would disqualify the participants from many welfare benefits, but I wonder how long that would last. By increasing the wages earned, you’re also increasing the poverty line. Also would imagine we see some inflation there. Wouldn’t be surprised to seen them back under welfare benefits again, tbh. Also not a huge fan of it being done by grant money. $530B a year in tax money? Yay! Hurt the middle class more.

I think at best, being optimistic, it’s hardly an upgrade over what we currently have.

Oh and the opinion piece was a waste of time. Be better than that.

You cite some very shaky reasons that it might make sense to admit blacks and Hispanics to medical school over whites (conveniently leaving out the fact that Asians are even more discriminated against) and that is apparently enough to satisfy you that massive differences in admission data makes sense. To me, at the very most, the circumstances you cite would warrant a slight skew.

A different poster suggested he'd seen information indicating that white students from poor families are at a disadvantage to black students from wealthy families because of the same sorts of biases this conversation has been alluding to. It would be interesting to know if that's really the case because your flimsy reasons for the disparity would become even flimsier.

Unfortunately it is very possible that some patients will develop a bias for Asian doctors and against black doctors because of the knowledge that the average Asian doctor has been held to a higher standard. Just another of the many negative ramifications of the progressive agenda imposing their biased definition of "equity" on society.

BTW, my thinking on this subject has been heavily influenced by an excellent book by Dr. Thomas Sowell called Race & Culture. If you've never read it, you should.

Asians are discriminated against, but Asians don't (overall) come from the type of economic disadvantages you see in the Hispanic and black communities. Yes, idestroyedthetoilet made a claim about poor white being denied for weathly blacks, but he never came back with statistics to verify that. I'm sure there are anecdotes that support it, but anecdotes are not data.

I appreciate that you have the sort of ignorance about the world that says "higher MCAT score" means "held to higher standard". I also understand you having the need to justify racism by referring what measures that may be devoted to ameliorating racism, and blaming them for the racism that existed long before those measures. I fully expect that, for you, this knowledge confirms all of the racial opinions you have held all along.

I have read several of Sowell's columns. His reasoning is shallow, based on an unrealistic view of the world, and self-congratulatory. I would imagine it appealed to you greatly.

JTT/Hant, it’s honestly hard to engage with “Taxes hurt the middle class!” because it shows a failure to understand that every developed country on earth that pays more taxes has a stronger middle class than the United States. Plain and simple.
