Soooo, they're lying. What are they doing to to your food?????-----Adding ‘Equity’ Charges to Customers’ Checks to Fight Oppression
- Will making customers pay “equity” charges backfire? Probably.
...On its website, Broders’ has a notice to customers notifying them of a new 15 percent “benefits and equity” charge they’ve instituted.
They justify the charge,
- first, by explaining that “many states have allowed reduced minimum wages for service staff in the form of a tip credit.” (More on this in a minute.)
- The restaurant’s second justification is that many tippers are racist and sexist, according to uncited research. “Studies have also shown that there is inequity and built-in bias in the way consumers give tips,” the statement reads. “In general, Black or Brown servers receive less tips than Caucasian servers. There is gender bias as well.”

Black Holes Are Connected To ‘Racial Blackness,’ Cornell U Course Says
"An astronomy course at prestigious Cornell University, concerned about racism in the universe, not just Planet Earth, asked the deathless question: “Is there a connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness?”
...the course, titled “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,”...catalog description reads:
'Conventional wisdom would have it that the “black” in black holes has nothing to do with race. ...Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection.
Theorists use astronomy concepts like “black holes” and “event horizons” to interpret the history of race in creative ways, while artists and musicians conjure blackness through cosmological themes and images. Co-taught by professors in Comparative Literature and Astronomy, this course will introduce students to the fundamentals of astronomy concepts through readings in Black Studies...Read all.

Progressives demand Biden erase student debt so they can go back to school; say marriage, kids are 'luxuries' they can't afford without gov't help - TheBlaze:
In a BuzzFeed News article published Tuesday, 35 readers provided feedback to a public response form about what $10,000 in student loan debt forgiveness would mean for them. Some of the results were shocking.
A surprising number of responders lamented the burden that taking out loans for school has laid on them — while simultaneously pledging to return to school if the debt is forgiven (emphasis added):

It's called "The Butterfield Effect."
It's called "The Butterfield Effect."--Michael Graham
"It's what happens when someone on the Left makes a statement that is laughably ludicrous on its face,
yet it reveals what the speaker truly believes — no matter how dumb.
"The Butterfield Effect" is named in honor of ace New York Times crime reporter Fox Butterfield, the intrepid analyst responsible for such brilliantly headlined stories as "More Inmates, Despite Drop In Crime," and "Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime Reduction," not to mention the poetic 1997 header, "Crime Keeps on Falling, but Prisons Keep on Filling."
Mr. Butterfield is truly perplexed at what he calls the "paradox" of more criminals in prison coinciding with less crime in neighborhoods.
An observation that might appear obvious to an 8th grader (crooks + jail = fewer crimes) is simply beyond his grasp.
Butterfield of the Times is the poster boy for the greatest conundrum facing the American Left today: How do you explain to people who just don't get it that the problem is they just don't get it?...Read all.

The Truth About the KAREN Movie
The Truth About the KAREN Movie--Paul Joseph Watson
"Hollywood keeps having to make movies about evil white supremacists killing black people because, as much as they try to ‘moral panic’ it into being, it’s not happening in the real world.
In reality, the truth is quite the opposite.

Lunch video-----Wealth, Poverty, and Politics
"Recorded on September 18, 2015---Hoover Institution fellow Thomas Sowell discusses poverty around the world and in the United States.
Poverty in America, he says, compared to the rest of the world, is not severe.
Many poor people in poverty in the United States have one or two cars, central heating, and cell phones.
The real problem for the poor is the destruction of the family, which Sowell argues dramatically increased once welfare policies were introduced in the 1960s."

Horowitz: As the CDC rushes to experiment on children, its own data show K-12 likely have herd immunity - TheBlaze:
Now, ignorant parents are being led by a maleficent government to expand the mask abuse to experimental gene therapy. Just consider the insanity of requiring vaccines for children. According to the latest data from the CDC's VEARS, a 12- to 15-year-old male is eight times more likely to suffer from myocarditis after the second Pfizer shot than from the virus itself.

- One of the more famous ethologists in recent decades was John B. Calhoun, best known for his mouse experiments in the 1960s. To what extent do the mouse utopia lessons apply to humans?
What if, in other words, we humans imposed a generous welfare state on our furry friends?
Would the resulting experience offer any lessons for humans who might be subjected to similar conditions?
Not having to work for food and shelter sounds appealing and compassionate, doesn’t it?...Read all!!
