They aren't talking about during, they're talking about the after-effects, once this is over with.

Is that really his point. To me the point is "college makes you useless to society".

It's entirely possible you're right and I'm just projecting my own worldview onto this strip.

I'm just really pro trade schools and technical colleges, ya know? They deserve more respect and so do the people they train. But I need to stop talking about this now because if I continue down this road I'm just going to end up feeling angry about the state of unions in this country and get all depressed and pissed off for the rest of the evening.

I gotta be honest: I don't totally disagree with the duck on this one. College has become way too expensive for many people to attend without acquiring crippling debt (which is why we should provide free state colleges like other first world nations) and trade schools teach people with valuable skills and shouldn't be looked down on. I'm pro-education, but education comes in many different forms.


You're reading what you want to read in it, that's why. Drucky Duck's (which Fishman is parroting so I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt) position has always been higher education is ponzi scheme where students pay to learn useless poo poo over and over until they either wise-up and leave, or get enough meaningless pieces of paper that they can join academia and start getting paid to teach useless poo poo themselves.

10 years ago we were all supposed to go get tech jobs, then healthcare, and now it's trade school. The bar just keeps moving along to whatever career hasn't been cratered by outsourcing, low wages, or whatever other factor of unregulated capitalism is eating the economy this week.

I've always maintained that charter schools can be good if it's locally controlled to get around county bureaucracy. I've worked in several like that. The problem is that far too many of them are controlled by for-profit corporations, and those tend to be not great.

You could probably make an AI that generates Prickly City comics pretty easily.
Load it up with random clipart of the characters, feed it phrases like "the new normal" and "or is it?" and "i see your point" and then get it to talk to itself.
If the resulting text is incredibly repetitive, circular and incoherent, that's actually a plus.

(Don't actually do this, it would require more effort than prickly City receives or deserves)

quote:

DEEP STATE COURT
This cartoon has been inspired by Sara Carter’s superb article, “Powell Files Stunning Motion Against Gleeson: It’s A ‘wrap-up smear’ against Flynn,” in SaraCarter.com, 17 June 2020.

The entrapment and rail-roading of General Michael Flynn — and his subsequent betrayal by the law firm he hired to defend him, Covington & Burling LLP — are a microcosm of what the Deep State and a very corrupt legal system controlled by the Deep State does every day to most citizens. Indeed, the Holder Memorandum that took jail off the table for Wall Street financial criminals who are now known to have stolen $100 trillion from Main Street through a practice known as naked short selling (selling shares that do not exist, not delivering them, keeping the money), stands out as emblematic of what Matt Taibbi calls The Divide — one law for the rich, and one law for the poor. Covington & Burling’s partner Eric Holder let the rich off the hook at the same time that Covington & Burling threw Mike Flynn under the bus, charging him $3.5 million for stabbing him in the back.

The US Constitution draws a clear distinction between the roles of the executive and the judiciary, and Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who has in the past been praised by Sidney Powell in her book Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice, appears to have lost sight of both the Constitution and past Supreme Court decisions. His hiring of a retired judge who has multiple conflicts of interest, John Gleeson, deepens the legitimate criticism of what can best be called a judicial witch hunt devoid of evidentiary foundation.

As Carter describes the Powell brief, Gleeson is depicted as duplicitous (a liar) and as executing a “wrap-up smear” (defamation with malice).

The paragons of integrity here are the independent investigators shining a light on the egregious misconduct of FBI agents, and the production, finally, of 86 pages of newly produced exonerating materials discovered and proffered by the government in support of its long overdue motion to dismiss. Attorney General Bill Barr, and Deputy Solicitor General Noel Fran Francisco, are bastions of integrity in comparison to the severely impaired judges refusing to dismiss the case.

This cartoon has been sponsored by Robert David Steele, learn more about him at https://robertdavidsteele.com.

So what is that, the 3rd Steele commission ?

I know it's probably getting passe but Garrison's labeling is hilarious. He can't communicate anything.

I think a "fun" project would be to remove the labels from a Garrison and try to figure out what he's complaining about this time.

He drew a comic showing Farrakhan in a positive light, another commission by Steele actually.

E: let's not forget the commissions are 800-1200 bucks, more than enough to sell your convictions for.
