Layoffs in Academia
Timothy Birdnow
Washington University - St. Louis' "premier" institute of higher learning (in their own minds) is laying off 1300 people thanks to the Wuhan virus.
I sympathize. Heck, my own brother teaches adjunct at several universities in the area and he has been laid off. I feel for the average working stiff. But this is good news.
The Universities are the source of infection in America. Every terrible and destructive idea that has plagued this country has begun amongst the insane at these asylums. Anything that damages academia and weakens their power is a good thing for America.
But the U.S. will undoubtedly bail them out first - and that despite truly mammoth amounts of reserve cash gleaned from decades of cheating naive young people.
If you con a child you are considered a scumbag, unless you are an educator...

This is the worst phase of any humans life during this pandemic. We should all stand united by staying home and accept situations till the danger passes.

fmwhatsapp thank you for your comment. I ask though; when will the "danger pass"? Seems to me much of what they are asking of us will not go away with the end of the pandemic.

Tim, you're better versed in "The Inferno" than I am (haven't read it in an age), but I know there are circles for liars. There ought to be one specific one, near the bottom, for those who lie to children in order to steer them the wrong way.

Now you're cooking Dana! Actually there are multiple pits for people like that that would fit in Dante'. The flatterers/seducers (who had their mouths producing human excrement, the pit of thieves where they bit you and you turned into a lizard until you could steal the shape of someone else, the pit where oracles go with their heads turned around backwards, etc. Dante' didn't mention a specific pit for those who mislead children but there SHOULD have been one such. After all, Jesus said "woe unto those who lead these little ones astray...it would be better they have a millstone tied around their necks.
