Harvard, Boasting $40 Billion Endowment, Lays Off Dining Hall Workers Due to Coronavirus Country’s richest university cuts costs as pandemic sweeps country Alana Goodman – March 24, 2020 3:00 PM Harvard University, which has the largest endowment of any school in the country, is cutting its subcontracted dining hall workers without pay as it shuts down in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The move is drawing criticism from employment rights advocates on and off campus who point to the university’s $40.9 billion endowment as evidence that the school is hardly in financial straits. They also claim the decision violates Harvard’s wage equality policy, which requires the university to compensate dining hall contract workers in a fashion comparable to the school’s directly hired employees. Harvard closed campus dining halls and other facilities earlier this...

  “Inside Every Progressive Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out“ The Sorry History of Socialism And the sinister tactics socialists utilize to take over a political system. Tue Mar 17, 2020 Bruce Hendry Editors’ note: Below is Part 8 of a new essay written by Bruce Hendry: Democrats, Progressives and Socialists. Stay tuned for the ensuing chapters. [See links to previous chapters below this article]. 19. Economic Fundamentals. One of the dangers to our democracy is the total lack of understanding of basic economics. Most K-12 teachers can’t teach economics because they don’t know it. Yet every organization from a children’s lemonade stand to the largest company, and of course to a country, is subject to immutable and unseen laws of economics. How can you possibly understand the implications of your political decisions if you don’t have any understanding of...

OF COURSE YOU WOULD HAVE. THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE NEWS. GOP wins three special Pennsylvania House races, including a ‘Hillary district’ by Paul Bedard  | March 18, 2020 03:16 PM Republicans in Pennsylvania gave President Trump and the national party a shot in the arm Tuesday, delivering three special state House elections to the GOP, including one district won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Local media and Democratic Party officials had said that the district should have been an easy pickoff because of the political trend, a Democratic registered voter edge, and the perceived backlash in the Philadelphia suburbs against Trump. But, in the end, the GOP appears to have held the...

You can’t make this stuff up. The idiocy of elected leaders is so idiotic you cannot tell if reports are The Onion or real. It must be comforting to the people of Baltimore that the man, the democrat they elected to replace their last corrupt mayor who is facing jail time for theft and extortion, when he makes such brilliant remarks such as, “For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it. We’re going to come after you, and we’re going to get you.” Yowsa, that must come as a real shock to the killers that shoot people every day in Baltimore. I guess up until yesterday the mayor simply tolerated the shooting and the killing. Absolutely remarkable. A couple of questions come to mind. How can there be so many shootings and killings in a town where guns are illegal? How can a man make such idiotic remarks. How can the...
