Für einen Kurs fuhr ich wöchentlich 100 km. Ich fand eine Mitfahrgelegenheit, und mein Auftraggeber übernahm die Fahrtkosten. Als Fahrgemeinschaften nicht mehr möglich waren, stellte sich heraus, dass die Öffis nicht nur zeitaufwändiger, sondern auch teurer waren. Das musste ich aber selbst zahlen.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday.

My personal #hypothesis is that #Trump didn't promise to make the #Epstein files public to please his #MAGA base: These promises were dog whistles to people who feared exposure; it's an #extortion #racket like all of his #mob style #coercion tactics. The names that were leaked did not pay (enough).

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise.
