They somehow never watched Idiocracy

That is a fair point. This spurred me to do some quick research into global arms dealers and diplomatic relations. Yeah, I'd say the USA is very much enabling Israel to commit genocide. It really grinds me up how nearly anyone who could have become president would have kept the exports going. I suppose if the USA hadn't supplied them, Italy (more specifically Rome) would have been the next most likely arms dealer for Israel. They would have been a lot easier to diplomatically pressure into stopping arms-deals though. Idk whether that would be enough to prevent the genocide, but it would probably have reduced the severity at least.

He, more than anyone else, is why the genocide was able to happen in the first place.

? Pretty bold claim there. I'd say it's Netanyahu, but there was a lot of support from Biden and his administration for sure.

Which is baked into the tax plan. 3 years and the OT tax break goes away. 3 years for companies to skimp on actually raising pay to meet living costs. Then they'll just blame the Dems if they win any seats or stay quiet if they retain majorities.

Ohhhh, I get it. Broke as in, we don't have any money, resouces, safety nets, or morals under the current mindset. Nice.

I'm cis-het and fully intend to go to the pride parade with friends in a different state. It's going to be a great time! Idk why the largest groups feel like they need extra special attention.

My bad. I don't understand most submissive dialects.

Yeah, reread it incase I missed something. Sure didn't

Page 2 paragraph 4 mentions a court decision from 2023. Harvard has reviewed and revised policy since then. They found that a disproportionate amount of admitted students were white due mostly to either being related to alumni or from a family that made large financial contributions. DEI policies had very little impact compared to those factors. Idk what you want them to do from here, and that is the only actual legal thing mentioned anywhere.

Yes, Harvard has no need to act like a government entity when they are not one and will survive just fine without grants. The American people and economy will be the ones suffering from this snappy decision.

And yes, socialist or communist. The research is a service being paid for. If the published results being public isn't enough for you, then neither should any other company's services. Following your logic, SpaceX and Starlink should be publicly owned by the U.S. government as well as the banks, corporations, and small businesses that get a contract, grant, or tax break. The actual allocation of funds doesn't matter to you based on your comments.

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It definitely says such a thing. If the "review" had no part then why include it? The first page only spews political factoids, mentions a plagarism scandal, and something about discrimination in the past. The first page of the letter literally doesn't mention what Harvard is currently doing illegally to justify this decision about grants and funding.

More importantly, yes, Harvard is private but the grant money isn't for their operation costs. Your own source lists it as research funding.

Speaking of your own source, maybe read it first, because it says "Harvard... rejected demands from the Trump administration." Nothing about noncompliance with the law.

As a side note, I didn't think I'd find a communist or socialist out here in the wild today. How has that ideology been working for you?

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I agree. My comment came from a place of "wow, a lot of people wanted to react." Not a, "omg bestie soo true"

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

It is especially bad in the deep-red states. The Tulsa race riots are still often lied about in Oklahoma depending on the school. Basically they said, "it worked on Native American history, so just do that for everything we don't agree with."

Well, they need to have some plan to keep the peasants in line.
