What's the name of your PhD supervisor? They probably have copies in the libraries down here. Maybe even digital copies available online.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

It looks like they did 610/30 instead of 30/610. The actual increase in his wealth is about 5%. Which is still great for him, and does not strain credulity.

“Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.”

Is there any chance he just heard "Harlem" instead of "Harvard"?

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name.
