It is hard to tell if a chicken is an optimist. After all, you can’t ask it if a glass of water is half full or half empty. But you can repeatedly show it a white card in front of a bowl of tasty mealworms and a black card in front of an empty bowl. Once a chick has learned to reliably choose the white card, you show it a grey card. Chicks that head immediately for this card apparently surmise that it is more white than black, and thus probably contains food – the equivalent of deeming a glass…

The American NEOCONS are interfering in elections, as always. Blinken ran off to Romania like Biden in Ukraine in July 2014, all to overturn the election in Romania, where the people voted against the war, and Blinken insisted Russia hacked the election. This guy will not be satisfied until he drenches Europe in the blood of centuries. Similar arguments are being tried in Germany because the people are turning to the afD. With Romania listening to Blinken, it appears they will be at war by 2026 when it all starts. Romania, as we know it, will most likely see a…

American innovation requires “critical people” from abroad like Musk himself, they say, because Americans just don’t want to learn that stuff.There’s some truth to that. But what they don’t tell you is that for more than a decade, Americans working in the tech industry have been systematically laid off and replaced by cheaper H-1B visa holders.I discovered this in 2013 when I reported an investigative project for…
