In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

EXCLUSIVE: Internal rumblings within the newsroom come after the S&P head resigned and the network disbanded its vaunted Race and Culture unit.

You can project any kind of stuff into this, but the truth is probably that O‘Leary would have the same problems with any kind of candidate, because he’s fairly unimportant in real life. Especially in a city like NYC, where supposedly 123 billionaires live.
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Letzte Woche haben wir 5 Jahre #95vsWissZeitVG gefeiert. Viel hat sich seit 2020 & besonders seit #IchBinHanna geändert, nur ein paar spezielle Quatsch-Argumente für Befristung kommen immer wieder. Damit wir sie nicht ständig von vorn widerlegen müssen, hab ich das heute in #ArbeitInDerWiss gemacht!
Vom Durchlauferhitzer und anderen Dauerbrennern: Fünf Jahre…
Zum 5. Geburtstag von #95vsWissZeitVG widme ich mich im Newsletter den wiederkehrenden Quatsch-Argumenten der Debatte -- und lege dar, warum sie Quatsch sind.
