I have. Treats the subject fairly. It goes into the tapes he made where he says God was making him do it, as in he literally believed God wanted him to build the killdozer. Not saying he didn't get somewhat fucked over, just that he was definitely nuts, and made his situation a whole lot worse. He kept setting a price for his property, and every time his neighbor agreed to the amount, he raised it. Went from something around $150k to 450k over the course of a few years.

One of my father's (PhD) main gripes with the university system, starting in the 1970s, was that once someone made into a PhD program, it was pretty much impossible to flunk out, and this was causing great harm to science. In his days in grad school, about half of PhD candidates never made it because their thesis was rejected.

When I got my PhD and started teaching, one of the first things I noticed was the complete and utter shite that passed for most Masters' and Doctoral theses. Then I made it a point to read all my coworkers theses. No wonder I felt like I was surrounded by idiots. I was.

This is why you get so many airliner crashes in third world countries. They do not have a reservoir of experienced pilots of ANY kind, let alone pilots with experience flying anything close to a passenger jet. They take people who have never flown a plane before, put them through training, and make them co-pilots. After just a few hundred hours flight time, they're captaining passenger Jets. The two pilots who crashed those 737s a couple years back? Neither one had more than 1000 hours flight time. iirc, one had only 300 hours.

Di Blasio Herr Warren Wilhelm went out of his way to single out Orthodox Jews in NYC. He might as well have been goose stepping his way into their congregation.

FTFY

After the Soviet Union fell, we found out that most of the far left groups in the US were funded to some degree by the Soviets. I suspect there is more CCP than Soros in the 'woke' movement.

He had a thing for teens 15 up. He liked them young, but not prepubescent like Biden.

Why do you qualify that with "on television?"

That song was instrumental in my growth from ignorant leftist teen to thinking adult.

This is a mental breakdown over not being listened to

Bingo!

This is what you get when you never tell your kids "NO."

You don't just have an infection around your heart for a year and live without symptoms for that long.

Sure you can. First sign of severe heart problems is usually a heart attack or death.

If you've never seen a crackhead looking for a rock in the carpet, you've missed out. They'll spend hours on it, picking up and smoking anything that looks like it might be a rock. It's fucking hilarious. Source: lived in a crackhead's house for a semester in college. Went over to look at the place at 8 AM, and found the owner sweeping the porch. Thought it was a good sign. Didn't realize he was on day 2 of a 3 day crack bender.

In the crime, yes. They still run organized crime in PDX. In the politics, only to the extent that the majority of them (in Portland) are liberal. They have no more or less political influence than any other leftist constituency.

The Portland Black Mafia no longer exists, it's street gangs now, and they keep relatively quiet. I met the daughter of Portland's Black Godfather a few years back. He'd been dead for decades, but I made sure I was extremely polite and respectful to her. When she found out I was in real estate she said "My father was in real estate." I smiled politely, said "how interesting," and changed the subject.

That type of person is exactly who is drawn to public facing positions (media, politics). They seek the validation they never got in high school. It's all about propping up their fragile egos, and feeding their neuroses.
