culture

a culture that puts SEC championships over Nobel Prizes will wallow in mediocrity

I'm right about this

Vivek was right about it too

Hopefully he doesn't pay too high a price for speaking the truth about it


a significant part of this country does in fact wallow in mediocrity

the fact that it also has some amazing strengths and extraordinary techological hubs obscures this truth

if not for the spillovers from those hubs many parts of this country would be like Mexico

i also have to say it is interesting to see a dem using the nativist dog whistle against Vivek

i'm rather conflicted about it

as a matter of principle i don't like it

but dang a part of me rather enjoyed watching it

looks like it is game on with respect to the race to the bottom
