Since Santa Clara County is trending, let's talk about the pervasive #Catholic influence & nepotism throughout Santa Clara.

3/5 Supervisors r Catholic, a majority.

#HolySee @SCCgov #Bellarmine #ArchbishopMitty #SantaClara Cindy Chavez attended Moreau Catholic H.S. She is married to Mike Potter, who attended Archbishop Mitty High School. Mitty's tuition for 2020-2021, including the Registration Fee, is $22,925. For one year.

Chris Rock: "Prices are the new discrimination."

One reason Western govs r failing is b/c of how gov funding is distributed to existing programs. If a program is successful, govs everywhere, sometimes partnered w/ private philanthropists, increase its funding. But this is precisely the wrong approach to take... [continued] Allow me an example. Before @Schwarzenegger was @CAgovernor, he popularized K-12 afterschool programs across America. As u might expect, these programs emphasized physical & mental fitness, so kids whose parents couldn't pick them up at 3pm could play sports or read til 6 or 7.

I've studied #whitesupremacism briefly. The key foundation of white supremacist arguments is that Africa is not as developed as other nations, indicating alleged IQ or mental deficiencies. I'm going to show how this approach can easily be refuted. 1st counterargument: Europeans & Christians themselves were not generally advanced in math/science until their exposure to Islamic & Asian scholars. In fact, it's likely European navigators, including V. da Gama, used/stole Chinese maps from Zheng He before succeeding.

1 of my proudest moments #traveling was telling corrupt Swedish private security on the train to Uppsala their so-called "neutral" country was a #Nazi transport center. (See Espen Eidum's Blodsporet.)

@EU_Commission @usembassysweden The EU wrote it did not have the resources to investigate indiv cases, not even an assault or misconduct by a member state's security against a tourist in a location where video was available. Unsurprisingly, Uppsala is known to be corrupt. @TheLocalSweden thelocal.se/20131119/prope…
