You dropped this.
Seriously, who calls it the Fourth Reich?
It's the repeated brain trauma and testosterone abuse.

Hey, if you're fortunate enough to have access to a toilet, you too can have a bidet. The toilet seat adapter kind can be had for around $30. Not nothing, but also not bank breaking.
I am skeptical of such a "great wealth transfer."
This argument presupposes that a significant portion of boomers will actually have wealth to bequeath. Yes, boomers as a class control more of the wealth - but how evenly is this wealth distributed amongst individual boomers? Of the total wealth controlled by their class, how much is owned by any individual?
I suspect that the median boomer does not own very much as an individual. Think of this: How many boomers own their house/car(s) outright? Have a high value 401k, IRA, or a pension? (do pensions even exist anymore?) How many have anything saved for retirement? These are the things that constitute inheritance for most people, and I doubt that the majority are sitting on such a dragon's hoard of treasure, if you will.
What's worse, this argument must also presuppose that the collective wealth of boomers will be available to pass down - and will not be entirely consumed by medical debt, elder care costs, or a combination of the two.
Even if we set the first issue aside by making the (very generous) assumption that 98% of boomers have managed to obtain the highest tier middle class level of wealth - mortgage paid off, no other debts, solid retirement savings, max social security etc - how much will be left after years of paying for routine health maintenance, acute hospital admissions, general elder care, nursing home care, etc. How much goes to inheritance/estate taxes (in states that have it), legal fees that are common at end of life, ...and lest we forget, funeral costs?
For these reasons, I find it foolish to assume Gen X and Millennials will be economically buoyed by inheritance. Some will, sure. But most won't.
Not a lawyer either, but although I agree with that interpretation, I'm not sure where Class C Misdemeanor comes from.
The article states that:
Cameron County prosecutors pushed for Class C felony charges of “terroristic threat” and argued for two more weeks of detention. Instead, Judge Adela Kowalski-Garza ordered a safety risk evaluation and conditional release home until his hearing November 8.
I used your link to search for "terroristic threat," and found this statute:
Penal Code Section 22.07 - Terroristic Threat
There is no mention of a Class C Misdemeanor in that statute; so I'm not sure what the Texas Observer is talking about.
Again, not a lawyer, but by my reading of 22.07, it seems like this ridiculous charge would be a Class A Misdemeanor under:
Subsection (a)(2):
(a) A person commits an offense if he threatens to commit any offense involving violence to any person or property with intent to: ... (2) place any person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury; ...
With the penalty described in subsection (c)(2):
(c) An offense under Subsection (a)(2) is a Class B misdemeanor, except that the offense is a Class A misdemeanor if the offense: ... (2) is committed against a public servant.
Class A misdemeanors carry both a fine up to $4000 and jail time up to 1 year.
I really don't care, do u?
Not with an arrest record at age 11. Medical school applications, state medical licenses, controlled substance prescription licenses, hospital credentialing applications, etc - all of the underlying bureaucracy of being a clinician (understandably) require background checks with clean records.
Unless his lawyer can get the record sealed and expunged, he'll most likely have to explain this event at every turn. One would hope that juvenile records could be explained away, but the field is so competitive that it could very well be the thing that keeps him from pursuing his dream.
All because a shitbag principal didn't want to deal with the requests of an 11 year old grieving his father and opportunistically punished him for it on the alleged word of another dumbass child's idea of a practical joke.
Even if he actually said it - he's an 11 year old, with a prefrontal cortex that is just starting to come online, on the hormonal cusp of puberty, trying to deal with the complex social dynamics of being 11 and changing schools, getting bullied about his haircut and clothes by a shitty adult abusing their authority.
I cant help but wonder how the situation would be if he was white.
That Disney's hill guy really seems to like Disney movies
Microsoft ad is probably the real reason, but also Microsoft's search engine shares the last name of the character Matthew Perry played on friends.
The demented level of factory farming had nothing to do with human overpopulation, but everything to do with human culture's demand for animal products that are entirely unnecessary for survival. If we change our culture to eliminate animal products, we will eliminate a huge source of wasted resources and labor. Think of how much less plant agriculture would be required if we didn't have to feed 33 billion chickens, almost two billion sheep, a billion and a half cattle, a billion pigs.
If we just grew food we can eat, instead of wasting land, effort, and resources both directly and indirectly supporting animal agra, we wouldn't have such huge problems.
