Sometimes, being a hero doesn’t look the way we expect.
Not loud.
Not glamorous.
Not perfect.
Just tired.
Uncertain.
But still showing up every single day.
For the ones who need you most.
You give up so much, put yourself last, and fight your own silent battles—just to make sure your kids are okay.
Maybe no one sees it.
But it means everything.
You are a true hero!

The Last Gasps of the Rent Seeking Class
#HackerNews #RentSeeking #Class #TheEconomy #Innovation #Disruption #EconomicJustice
Over the past fifty years, the U.S. economy built a giant rent-extraction layer on top of human limitations: things take time, patience runs out, brand familiarity substitutes for diligence, and most people are willing to accept a bad price to avoid more clicks. Trillions of dollars of enterprise value depended on those constraints persisting. – Citrini Research
The Epstein Class think we're all just as depraved and racist as they are. But we are not.

A group of women identified in the disclosed files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's criminal conduct filed a class action against the DOJ and Google over revealing and republishing personal information.
A key defence of higher education is its contribution to social mobility, so we should be attentive to *which* universities actually achieve the greater impact on transforming the lives of their students.
You will notice that while Cambridge is ranked 20th & Oxford are rated 34th (Cambridge has improved its place while Oxford has dropped)... its the more maligned universities that do a better job for students life chances!
Just sayin'

Two insights from Biological Taxonomy:
Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species
1. "Race" is not a scientific concept. It's a vague approximation of phenotype, which does not equate with ethnicity, privilege and many other factors it is used as a proxy for.
2. Class > Family : A harsh truth I learned when my privileged family turned on me as I chose to the take the side of the unprivileged class in the Class War.
