But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Foxconn's potemkin "Innovation Centers"
Trump and Scott Walker promised billions to the giant Chinese electronics company Foxconn and let them start bulldozing Wisconsinites’ family homes, but there’s no sign of the promised megafactory Foxconn said they’d build in exchange.
Foxconn, after all, has a long, long, long history of securing massive credits and incentives to build factories and then never building those factories.
A year ago, Josh Dzieza described how Foxconn was buying up buildings, gutting them, and leaving them empty. Foxconn called them “innovation centers”
Foxconn told Dzieza that he had it all wrong and promised a full and forthright correction, and also swore that a year later, the “Innovation Centers” would be humming with industry. The correction never appeared, and a year has gone by and…
They’re still empty shells.
I mean, DUH.
Profs at the universities that Foxconn swore it would recruit from report “no visible activity whatsoever” on that front. Foxconn isn’t even showing up for the university’s grad recruiting fairs.
Foxconn hasn’t taken out permits to renovate most of its “Innovation Centers.” No construction has taken place.
As to the factory, it will now be a tiny little thing, and may or may not open in May.
Ladeez and gennulmen, I give you…The art of the deal!

what prision should be 4:
- rapists
- pedophiles
- murderers
- abusers
what prision shouldn’t be 4:
- non-violent drug dealers
- drug addicts (who need help + support, not prison time)
- protesters/activists
- poc who get arrested 4 doing things white people would never get arrested 4 doing
- rape/incest/abuse/etc victims who kill their attackers (self defense)
- homeless people who are just chilling + not doing anything illegal (like a homeless person is just sleeping + the cops arrest them 4 some dumb reason)
- a lot of people, actually (ex. people who steal like a single apple bc they’re starving, people who take animals from abusive owners, squatters, undocumented immigrants with no/minor criminal records, prostitutes + sex workers, poor people, the mentally ill, etc)
The fact that this post is controversial on tungle dot hellsite says a lot about the site’s political environment.

American healthcare system be like
Sponge bob is very interesting as an adult viewer because the show has an almost obsession with the economics of daily life. Spongebob has a job. Starts businesses. Worries about getting fired and having to go on welfare or unemployment. You got Patrick who is explicitly unemployed. Squidward who dreams of pursuing his passions but is stuck in a low wage dead end job. You got mr krabs who is a. Wage thieving greedy manager. And you got jokes like this. This show is in dire need of some Marxist analysis

The protesters have taken over 12 homes and plan to remain in the properties indefinitely, organizers said.
“With this health crisis and this housing crisis, we need every vacant house to be a home for those who don’t have a safe and stable place to sleep in,” said Ruby Gordillo, 33, while standing on the porch of a two-bedroom bungalow before moving in with her three children.
Gordillo and others involved in the protest have said they were inspired by a group of homeless mothers in Oakland. Late last year, those mothers took over a vacant, corporate-owned property and, after they were evicted, secured backing from Gov. Gavin Newsom to force the Bay Area property’s sale to a community land trust.
Like the Oakland moms, the protesters in El Sereno are affiliated with the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, an organization that has advocated several statewide measures to expand rent control and tenant protections.
The L.A. protesters, who call themselves Reclaiming Our Homes, say their push is all the more urgent because of the spread of the coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. Public health experts are calling for increasingly stringent measures, including asking people to stay indoors and to keep their distance from one another to slow the virus’ spread.
Though Newsom, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and other elected officials have called for housing homeless residents in hotels, motels and on public property, the families say they haven’t acted with enough urgency.
“Since they’re not, they’re being unjust,” said Martha Escudero, 42, who has spent the last 18 months sleeping on couches in East Los Angeles before moving into the Caltrans-owned home Saturday. “We have to do this.”
Btw United Teachers Los Angeles which is the teachers Union is helping lead these housing protests and their president talked at one of the occupations
