Last post for today but the story linked below is why we MUST get over our addiction to the police. With all the inmates dying, and being killed at Rikers Island and health care unavailable supposedly because of costs...NYC is buying submachine guns for the guards! The police cannot be reformed and the prison industrial complex is rotten and corrupt from top to bottom.

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
