| The Upside Down Campus Protester |
| 2015-11-30 |
| h/t Instapundit One common denominator characterizes almost all unrest on college campuses: the demands to create more "-studies" courses (black, Latino, feminist, gay, etc.) and thus to hire more -studies professors. An empiricist from Mars might observe that the chief beneficiaries of the protests are -studies academics. They alone will win more jobs and classes, which otherwise few students wish to attend and from which fewer gain any factual knowledge, written and oral speaking skills, or improvement in inductive thinking. |

| #3 Agree with fist AP, not sure about 2nd. I figure the Chavistas will end up selling their actual reserves, just a matter of time. |

| #2 Problem is that the US Government is running out of money. This whole deck of cards will come crashing down. And China is not bailing out Venezuela, either. |

| #1 It's like early unionization in which the 'bosses' use thugs to establish membership and extort demands from the people who provided the means of production. Yeah, you need more union 'stewards' on the payroll. |
