zuckerberg pledged $100M to "fix" newark's public schools he announced it on oprah and both booker (then mayor of newark) and christie were there to accept the money quote:When Zuckerberg declared his grant, the agenda was pretty clear: Turn the Newark schools around in five years and make it a national model. But from the get-go, there seemed little agreement as to how best to proceed. More than anything, Christie wanted to break the hold of the entrenched teachers’ unions. Booker wanted more charter schools. Zuckerberg wanted to raise the status of teachers and to reward teaching that improved students’ performance. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/23/books/review/the-prize-by-dale-russakoff.html

Wheeee posted:imagine a scene in which zuckerberg is the That's not what the scene implies. Zuckerberg swooped in to Oprah to make a big show of being Superman to save Newark schools - but the American school system isn't going to be saved by billionaire philanthropy. He's creating a false impression of the efficacy of philanthropy to cement his class power.

they're both celebrities who found a good grift, not working scientists or experts in their field add kaku to that list. You could read the wiki page for something and know as much as they do as deeply as they do but yes I agree I want my country run by names I've heard of from the TV

For all the talk they do about liberal bias in Hollywood and how celebrities need to "stay in their lane", history shows that Republicans are way more likely to elect a celebrity than Dems.

He's creating a false impression of the efficacy of philanthropy to cement his class power. He was just young and naive, thinking that a few billion is enough to disrupt the establishment. He has now been absorbed by the system, which is why his facial expression is much more somber now than when he was starting up.

The reality is that most people will trace back to ancestors who immigrated to the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s; when the US was already developed. Those people were coming over because jobs were getting super scarce in Europe, land was hard to come by if you weren't in the aristocracy, and the US offered great opportunity to get a decent job. Sounds pretty much like the people they're bitching about.

It was just lovely over here at the time, and saving up for a ticket was a pretty good idea. More room & more rubes, ya know?

Hmm, something tells me you're not actually surprised at all Neil degrasse Tyson said that star wars was inaccurate because a ball droid robot would never be able to roll around on sand. Without considering that the droid in the movie is an actual robot which the crew constructed, that you can see in the movie rolling in the sand.
