Last post for today but the story linked below is why we MUST get over our addiction to the police.

Born in 1804, Janet Taylor was a brilliant mathematician, astronomer, author & inventor. She wrote books, founded an academy & ran a manufacturing business for nautical instruments - many she designed herself.

Between 1617-1852, 79 patents were awarded for nautical instruments & Taylor was the only woman among them.

Sadly, Taylor died bankrupt in obscurity. Her death certificate only records her occupation as a “Teacher of Navigation.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Taylor #HistoryRemix #history #science

In this light, Billionaires start to more like theft."
