With Leftists you always wonder whether they are completely clueless about economics and believe the nonsense they spout or are charlatans who actually know better and are just peddling the fiscal equivalent of snake-oil because it helps them stay in power.  It seems from his credentials this one is completely clueless.

Well, except for Yanis Varoufakis, whose critique of the bailout "of Greece" -- actually a bailout of German banks exposed to Greek debt that sunk Greece even deeper into debt slavery -- was spot on.  If he spouts economic nonsense (which oddly for a Leftist, I've never heard him do) you know for certain he's selling snake-oil and knows better.

Boy Scout Movement Now Trans-Friendly ‘Authentic Self’ Group

Neil Munro 7 May 2024

The Boy Scouts of America is changing its 114-year-old name, according to a statement from the tech sector CEO who runs the fabled organization, in what seems to be a bid to deny the reality that boys are different from girls.

The new sexually-neutral name –“Scouting America” — will send “a really strong message to everyone in America that they can come to this program, they can bring their authentic self,” said Roger Krone, the organization’s president and CEO.

Krone’s “authentic self” phrase matches language used by transgender activists who oppose the public recognition that boys and girls, women and men, have different needs and desires. The pro-transgender activists insist that young children can create their individual sexual persona and “gender,” regardless of their male or female nature.

“They can be who they are, and they will be welcomed here,” added Krone, who until recently was the chief of Leidos, a consulting company in defense and healthcare. The scouting organization’s National Executive Board also includes other business leaders.

Krone suggested that the organization’s focus on boys hinders recruitment at a time when more young boys are spending their time glued to semi-addictive social media machines.

NY/NJ / Re: Gov. Hochul says young black kids don't know the word "computer"

You're showing your age. No offense meant, as I am in the same boat. My early millennial son is a network fiend... Does it for a living, But all his servers are headless - He operates from a tiny chromebook most of the time, or from his phone. He seldom hauls out a laptop, and is hardly ever at his desk.

Though I am better with it. There are between five and seven desktops in this house - two operating as servers, but I tend to access them all with my laptop or this Surface in tablet configuration... I can do it with my phone, but very awkwardly.

Millennials' function like that natively.

I need a BIG screen and a mouse... Can't really function without them...

He's got too many knives stuck in him.

He'd likely be happy to be voted out of the job.

I'm going to go out on the limb and defend what she said.

While most black kids (and perhaps hispanic kids, as well) will be familiar with smartphones and tablets, I'm wondering how many of their homes actually have a "personal computer" in them?

I'll reckon a quarter to a third, if that many.
They might have to wait to get to school to have much "hands on" with a computer of their own.

I'll cheerfully accept being proven wrong on this assumption.

Is there anybody in this administration that’s qualified to do the job they’ve been hired for?

That depends on what they were hired to do. I'd say a good number of them are doing exactly what they were hired to do.

There is also a video of @jmyrlefuller singing the 'Star Spangled Banner' in which he does an awesome job.

If I knew had to look up past posts, I'd post it.

Found it!  @jmyrlefuller
