Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Bill Ackman's education

Here's his post on X. He is a major Dem donor, but learning how things work:



 The story was published this morning. Despite my hopes, my optimism was misplaced as the public has been again misled, important issues are not addressed fairly or accurately, and false impressions have therefore been created in the minds of readers about important issues.

" I am also a strong believer in the importance of equity, by that I mean the common understanding of that word, i.e., fairness, not the equality of outcome that is demanded by DEI,"
Still hasn't learned very much. Fair is one of those vague and ambiguous words with no objective meaning. If you look in the dictionary "fair" has about 25 definitions. Fair is a word little children use. When a politician starts using the word fair, you better grab your wallet and hang on tight.

"Fair" is for kindergarten.

I thought guys like Bill Ackman were smarter than this.

Hey! when you're a zillionaire, you think you can afford luxury beliefs.

I don't think he had any illusions about the way he would be treated. He's taking the high road with the reporter that he probably knew up-front was going to be a piece of sh*t.

I am very glad to see articulate, independent critical thinkers from the progressive liberal side, start to get up on their hind legs and show their outrage. This toxic Progressive culture has everyone buffaloed, and scared to express themselves honestly.

Good for him.

Billy-boy should stick to making money which he's good at apparently, and stop being an asshole which, oh wait, he's also good at...

Another liberal who has been 'purple pilled' and wants the 90s back, not realizing the 90s laid a lot of the ground work for where we are. He's dealt in the abstract all his life and can't quite grasp what has happened and that the crazies he ignored and or facilitated as a virtue signal mean what they say.
