IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES – $42 BILLION
FY2010–2015 | FEDERAL PAYMENTS, SUBSIDIES, TAX–BREAKS: In March 2017, we published our OpenTheBooks Oversight Report – Ivy League, Inc. In this report, we quantified all federal payments, subsidies, and tax breaks for the eight Ivy League
schools between FY2010-FY2015. The Ivy League schools have $120 billion in accumulated endowment funds. Our findings launched on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal in a column by James Piereson and Naomi Schaefer-Riley titled, Ivy League Doesn’t Need Taxpayer Help.
Our findings were also cited in the Boston Globe as providing research to congress as they instituted a new ‘excessive endowments’ tax in December 2017. openthebooks.com/wall-street-jo…

People who attended government run public schools, and a lot of private ones, too, over the last 40 years or so, have not been educated, but have been steadily fed an ever-increasing diet of leftist propaganda.
By the time they graduate from high school, fully half of them cannot actually read enough to fill out a job application or do basic addition and subtraction. magazine.whatfinger.com/view/?linkid=4…
Education is unbiased. It is founded in fact, and isn’t there to persuade anyone to come up with a certain belief. Education is development of one’s own beliefs based on the facts that are discovered throughout the process. Indoctrination has an agenda.

Instead of flattering Islam, we should openly and honestly criticize it — objectively, without rancor or hyperbole. That's potentially one of the Western world's most powerful, though largely untapped, strategies that could go a long way in neutralizing Islam, and without force.

The Newest "New culture war." The money behind the transgender movement – Billionaire George Soros opens his wallet to transform America. Wilson Cruz, an LGBT activist, told CNN at the time. “Do not get in the way of this train, because it will run you over.”
A Supreme Court ruling paved the way for gay marriage. That was in no way the "end" but the beginning. They had the transgender bathroom decision victory & BOOM a new "civil rights" movement was born. California adopted pro-LGBT laws & allowed students to pick their own gender
play in sports - & shower with whichever gender they choose. They started LGBT curriculum in schools. The Global Action for Trans Equality (GATE) is funded by Soros. They are seeking judicial seats too - “A more diverse bench improves the quality of justice for all citizens.”

Isn’t it interesting how aviation, nuclear, substantial portions of oil, coal, gas & mining, by def the arms/prison/policing/surveillance industries , & marketing/big tech industries, can’t survive w/o state business, subsidies, tax breaks, protection, regulation, & monopoly
Like most business, the state enforces their property/contract rights, solves disputes, enforces land monopolies & externalities, handles postage, logistics, coordination, taxation,& money supply, And enforces quality credentials & LLC corp monopoly. But that’s not all.
All of the above get a mix of:
1. State purchases/business
2. Contracting
3. Legal, insurance, financial, bureaucratic, credentialing & information services
4. Subsidies
5. Tax breaks
6. Credit/debt/finance/bankruptcy support & subsidies

The extraction, processing, storage, deployment & use of the energy stocks required for the state, capitalism, militaries, bureaucracy, industry, heavy infrastructure & social control, has never been profitable on its ‘own.’ From fossil fuels to nuclear, the state is always close
Such endeavors have always required a mix of state ownership/management, subsidies/tax breaks/cheap credit, protectionism/monopoly/legal support, military/police/surveillance protection, & land grants/enclosure/dispossession/primitive accumulation.
The Hotelling rule is meant to ‘optimize’ extraction of finite resources. If the rate of appreciation on a rent is higher than the interest rate, they should leave it in the ground until it appreciates. investopedia.com/terms/h/hotell…

Fun fact: In 2018, 60 Fortune 500 companies paid no taxes on a total of $79 billion of profits.

"It's the largest extravaganza of taxpayer abuse going on right now in the history of our country," says @everydimeonline dailysign.al/2kZqXZq via @LRacheldG @DailySignal
@everydimeonline @LRacheldG @DailySignal There’s a reason why the last week of the fiscal year is called “Christmas in September” for federal contractors. It’s the largest extravaganza of taxpayer abuse going on right now in the history of our country.
@everydimeonline @LRacheldG @DailySignal This is a period where the agencies are spending down their budgets this year, so they’ll get an appropriation from Congress that’s the same or larger next year, it’s called “use it or lose it” spending.

Masonry, woodwork & construction techniques, refined over thousands of years, using local materials that allow for multi-function, low carbon, long life, high density urbanization: bad, archaic, wrong

Massive intensive sky scrapers that break down in 40 years: good, modern etc
Planting more trees, re establishing marsh land, tearing up unnecessary roads & highways, refurbishing houses & infrastructure, agroecological farming: bad, silly, what about the air conditioners???

High throughput green new deal based in high tech bandaids: good, fun, amazing
Getting rid of lawns, empty lots, parking lots, free parking, till-less roads, unused urban & suburban space, installing light rail & electric buses: silly, plus I drive to work!

ELON MUSK ANYONE, AYYYY: Yeah this is a good idea.

Prediction: a huge class action lawsuit by influencers banned or demonetized by social networks will lead to recognizing & protecting:
- accounts as personal property
- posts as free speech

The more livelihoods depend on social influence, the likelier this becomes.
To be featured in this class action lawsuit:

Shadow banning

There are several legal precedents for this:
1) malls are regulated as public spaces and must protect speech and assembly rights even though they're private minnpost.com/cityscape/2015…
2) utilities (gas, water, electric) aren't allowed to cut people off even if they miss bills.
