I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

saw the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie and was PULLED OUT OF THE MOVIE by the ubiquitous use in the sixties of characters HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER
the high-five was invented in 1977 by gay baseball player Glenn Burke (and became a gay shibboleth til the straights stole it) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five

![The high five is a hand gesture whereby two people simultaneously raise one hand and slap the flat of their palm against the other.[2] The gesture is often preceded verbally by a phrase like "Give me five", "High five", or "Up top". Its meaning varies with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or celebration.
There are many origin stories of the high five,[3] but the first and two most documented candidates are Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men's college basketball team during the 1978–1979 season.[4][5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ng53ikph73puxk3z4hova3a6/bafkreift6phx7s6ezqv6bumiyp5s7mutrc4xlbi6sdqyvc5sop4h53f6j4@jpeg)

“I am allowed to do it.” So says the President of the United States about pardoning a vicious child predator who lured hundreds of children into sexual depravity. This should be a unifying moment for our country to turn against such a depraved President. Enough!
