@RBReich Average savings account up 0.05% this year so far. S&P 500 down 24% so far. No way account owners could do this without inside information. When this emergency is over, savings accounts must be investigated.

I had a french professor who once said if you just did something like going to the supermarket and experienced it fully without the goggles of habit and catégories you would go crazy with pure sense and joy. I think about it all the time. In a way this is all for him.

state colleges are dropping algebra as a graduation retirement. we are paying more for a degree that’s worth less and less.
In the 21st century, twelve years of school isn’t enough. That’s why under the Biden-Harris plan, community college will be free — and public colleges and universities will be tuition-free for families earning less than $125,000 a year.

@Aella_Girl the animal/food word distinction is from when Normans ruled England. so presumably it would be the French word for humans.
