Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
I must have first encountered John McWhorter on C-Span's Book TV...would have been him being interviewed regarding one of his books. I was sufficiently impressed by it to buy several of his books.
I read through the above once. Quite long. Hope to be able to motivate myself to read is again.
Sent it on to several others.

You're a fan, too? Excellent. I posted some of his videos on this forum in the past, including Bloggingheads, but I don't remember it getting much traction.

I am far more of a reader than a video watcher. Demands too much attention. Unless it's something that I can just listen to while I'm doing something else that is not fully demanding of my mind so that I can actually hear most of what I am listening to.

When I have C-Span on it does not get my 100% attention. I'm always doing something else while it is on.

Btw, in the comments of that wsj article, someone mentioned the targeting of Bon Appetit magazine because a non-Jewish woman wrote a recipe for Jewish pastries (Purim hamantashen). That was in pre-woke 2015, but Bon Appetit is fixing it as part of their Archive Repair Project. yikes.
I guess this falls under the wokist charge of cultural appropriation.

The county mandated an extra $5/hour which will cost Kroger $20M, so they just decided to close a bunch of stores.
When will the pols realize they can't force rules without consequences?
Answer: never :-(
- also from pug's linkDespite what appears to be a huge increase in gross earnings by grocery stores, the actual net earnings were way down, as operating costs were way up. Earnings for grocery stores have always been tight. COVID didn’t erase that, even with the binge purchasing. Mandating an extra $5 an hour for all employees is a massive increase in operating costs. And some stores have a smaller margin than others, especially in areas where theft is high

It looks like Cuomo is being thrown under the bus.

Cuomo's popularity was likely a threat to Kamala Harris, so he's gotta go.
Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Mostly they don't. This is why there's so much squawking about "food deserts" in slums where there are no grocery stores, only bodegas selling potato chips and malt liquor. So some blue districts/states passed enterprise zone legislation, where they offer effectively tax subsidies to stores willing to open in those areas. It all depends on whether the costs of the crime outweigh the subsidies. Either that, or on whether the franchisee is an idiot, which they probably are for taking that bait.

Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
IMO, Cuomo's #metoo troubles are a complete red herring. "They" don't want a lot of questions being asked about how Democrat governors handled the Holocoughs, especially WRT nursing homes. If Cuomo is pinned on his fuck ups, then several more governors might get put under the microscope too.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.
Re: The Left is Eating Itself Pt. II
Cuomo is being driven out by progressives because they want to have control of the tens of billions of dollars that will be incoming from Washington. It's a bonanza for them and they want to use it for their social experiments.

Bring on the $15 minimum wage! If it passes, buy stock in this company immediately.
