Words matter. You can say a lot and convince many by abusing them.

For example: Which scares you more?

3.5 Trillion

Or

$350 Billion per year

For reference:

The US Defence budget is $750 Billion

Meh idk. I went to the magnet school for a semester in 2001 I think (yes because 9/11 happened while i was there), and it was in the middle of a Vegas high school. Like the kind with the metal detectors where as a white kid you are in the minority. Also ALL the students in the actual program were Asian and they excluded me at that school.

So I went back to Boulder City. Rich mormon town southeast of Vegas. At junior year of high school, was able to do a dual-credit thing at the community colleges around Vegas/Henderson to finish out high school, and they hooked me up with crazy shit like a no-show job on the campus so I was making $14/hr to go to class...school in vegas was pretty freaking sweet to be honest. Also after interning for a local congressman and meeting the student body prez there, he tried to make me inheritor of his position of student body president of the CC, but I was leaving for a university out of state so I passed up the opportunity to be student body prez of a 30,000 student COLLEGE system as a high school senior / college frosh.

Although I did get to be a senator. The student council budget was in excess of 3 million dollars because of the student body size. Once I was a senator I got to quit going to class, too, as student council business trumped my requirements to show up for the required high school classes. So I played Vanguard til 6am and slept in, printed re-dated minutes for meetings to cover my paper trail, and had a ton of dough piled into my account, and a ton of political experience, and the life experience to take care of myself, all before HS graduation where I was valedictorian btw despite basically not attending my last year.

Oh yeah and one last detail -- the student body of the dual-credit HS was 80% female, since it depended on responsible students who could transport themselves and not get in trouble. So theoretically and literally there was a LOT of female attention.

Also, didn't smoke pot til I was 18 hehe.

Vegas school worked if you worked it. I had a really hard time in middle school so my high school turnaround was pretty amazing, and I can only credit the freedom I was given from emotional oppression for that "spreading of wings". If grandparents hadn't had a Boulder City address to keep me out of the ghetto school zoning, too, who knows. I was supposed to be stuck in shitty highly integrated schools in Henderson the entire time. Aw, I'm feeling nostalgic.

oh edit timer is gone...the magnet school was a middle school, but it was inside with a combined normie middle and high school i think. just remembered that. so yeah imagine lil me at 13 in the same hallways with 18yo felons.

So I have been looking up information on college degrees. https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/...t20_322.10.asp & https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=37

The total numbers of Bachelor degrees earned in 2018-19 was 2,012,854

Business (390,564)

Health professions and related programs (251,355)

Social sciences and history (160,628)

Engineering (126,687)

Biological and biomedical sciences (121,191)

(above is over 50% of all degrees)

...

Liberal arts and sciences, general studies, and humanities (44,222)

Foreign languages, literatures, and linguistics (16,592)

Philosophy and religious studies (9,615)

Area, ethnic, cultural, gender, and group studies (7,724)

Total 70,429 or less than 3.5% of degrees

It seems to be that rightwing media and posting world are using a small minority of stupid degrees to explain why millions of people with good degrees can't get jobs like they used to. Or at least claiming its a big part of the story.

I submit to you that it is a string of anecdotes carefully crafted to mislead a part of the population. Its a story, a fictitious realty created by institutions that manufacture consent. Its a key part to make sure rightwing people from humble backgrounds don't support something that directly benefits people like them.

So a woman or girl gets raped, gets pregnant, and the best thing to do, since the woman isn't in love with the rapist, is to kill the baby, am I understanding this right? You wanna eliminate rape? Kill the rapists. Would make a lying woman a cold blooded killer, wouldn't it?

Babylon the Great is full of sociopaths.

Yahoo Health is trying to sell Powerball tickets. You know, for the kids education and all. Brings a tear my eye like AOC imagining what those billions will do when they send it to the kids' schools. To teach the kids to worship them for life and never distrust them.

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Illuminati Freemasons within the U.S. military - including the President if the USA - did 9/11. Pentagon was hit by a U.S. missile. WTC 1 and 2 were hit by USAF 737 remotely piloted drones filled with jet fuel, then they were demolitioned top-down by Silverstein Corp along with Building 7 that never got hit. They turned on you then, and will keep doing it, over and over. Freemasons within the U.S. military.

When they die they are going to Hell forever and ever and ever.
