Global Manufacturing Declines in May

The following news article discusses a declining manufacturing environment on a global scale in May. This may be some of the recession fears that has received mixed signals by economists. Backlogged orders appear to be getting processed while new orders are slack.

Such single assessments don't necessarily show any definite outcome as of yet as manufacturing orders might change in a short timeframe. We have to wait for more manufacturing data to create trends and determination.

Covid revealed a unique Pandemic phenomenon of lock down behaviors we should pay attention to for future similar events and how to minimize negative impact. We learn from our past to make better market projections for the future.

Lack of demand may be a global issue but we should not delay our efforts to strengthen the nation. Building competitiveness even during down times is helpful.

As a people, our choices lead to outcomes so we should creating investment rich environments.

When does hate become unsafe? How to Fix a System that Lacks Accountability

We talk, our politicians talk, our officials talk, everyone talks and yet hate still exist so we must wonder why it percolates in the backrooms of our social networks.  Disclaimer: when I say I'm against hate that doesn't mean I'm advocating for any particular race, religion, minority, etc. but simply the right to live freely from racial targeting and mistreatment (Financially, socially, employment, etc...). The same goes for freedom to practice any religion one so chooses (These are my deeply conservative Republican values in alignment with our national ideals. I have lots of Democrat friends and they ae just as cool as the Republicans. I don't like extremes on either side and generally feel shy around such opinionated people. I feel a little stupid sometimes because I can never give the right answer and I don't know as much as they do because I keep having too many alternative explanations so I don't understand how they can make large cognitive leaps without any justifications. Its almost a though people in the far right and left skip over logic and science to blind acceptance of whatever they think they can benefit from the most.). Defaults in law, logic, and science should not be ignored in making important decisions. Yet some are promoting divisions on very spotty logic; even violent divisions when it suites their interest (I believe all Americans should be treated as valuable members of society and held to a similarly high standard. No freebees and everyone must be part of the game of nation building based on their God given talents and abilities. Advanced societies will accept this universal value of human life and will in turn develop all of their talent to the best of their abilities. Leaving communities behind is not going to help us function at our best.).

A majority of Americans might feel a sense of unease when rogue extremists leaning groups profess their American purity through comparisons, put downs, rumors, and intentional conflict creation (Which is somewhat dishonest when you look at Native Americans, Blacks, and even Asians which have had some important roles since the beginning but they don't want to recognize them). That unease seems to be in constant flux but in general has made us just uncomfortable enough to contribute to the advancement of society and the freeing of our fellow American people (ending of slavery and segregation. We have an unofficial system of it.).

Yet, when these networks move from discouraged fringe groups to socially and legally sanctioned behaviors we have a problem. Its not officially legal but because of a lack of checks n balances as well as a healthy respect for American oaths, sacrifices and values such behaviors may continue without account. They go on because no one said "no" for fear of social rejection (They are only worried about their group, and others or the outside world do not matter as much. This is why I believe they are in a somewhat distorted social network dominated in part by a few toxic souls. These people saw who is in and who is out and who is going to have rumors and who is going to be rejected. They did me a favor by taking what they talk about in backrooms and spewing it into a wholesale cleansing. A general lesson to take from this is that if it is found out they were lying they wrote a check they couldn't cash.)

Do you remember when officer Goodman lead the Capital Riot extremist down one hallway versus another where the potential execution of Congress was just a doorway away? His value was in his actions, his potential sacrifice to protect democracy, and it had nothing to do with his color or religion or friends (Other then the extra risks of being beat increasingly more severe for not only being the "enemy" of these purity movements but also having skin which is frowned upon in such extremist groups. i.e. noose.) Yes I recognize Officer Goodman is the wrong skin color to be respected by these local hate networks but he was a patriot (Niggar is an occasional word they would use to describe sports players, people from Detroit, and even my kids. Of course we were going to have a break in social behaviors when bullying for demanding my kids boundaries be respected was stated clearly but politely. They went down a long path with their friends to show me and my family what our place in society is through spreading rumors, control, intimidation, defamation of character, rejection of job, encouraging close police friends to target so on and so forth. In the end, they were rewarded by the local system in a way that was disrespectful to the dying and violated their rights to make choices for themselves. It is possible this has occurred before. I wish that this wasn't even possible. It looks like a plausible explanation to a series of events over 4 years.) If you don't know about this officer, you can read about Eugene Goodman in the New York Times. (These officers need to learn from him and not mock our American rights.)

In an act of patriotism (the real kind. 💁) officer Goodman encouraged these mobs to follow him up a staircase to lead them away from our Congressman and Congresswomen. He kept his cool and composure. Groups like this, the one's I have locked horns with, are not people who follow the same laws and rules like the rest of society. They have all types of interesting but not very unique ways of looking at "outsides" through their perceptions of what Americans look like as well those they see as less American than themselves.

Segregation ended in 1963 and there are some who support the return of such official segregation laws when they mock our hard earned rights (This is how people used to talk about segregation and some are still causing this on a social and economic level. George Wallace Segregation Forever Speech.) To many people, we have a two tiered systems that becomes more obvious when people look the other way when moral collapses occur and Federal Law becomes violated in broad daylight. (I have experienced this two system issue and we are in two different worlds and countries on a social and in some cases economic level. Definitely on a law enforcement level and I like cops. Believe it or don't believe it, not a concern of mine. I just don't like crooked cops. Almost every great civil rights leader has talked about these two systems. I advocated for unity most of my life. I think I can prove that from a few key data points/historical pieces.)

60 years ago is not a long time so many of these diseased values exist today in social form in our hometowns! They are there under the surface but impact just about everything from friends all the way over to personal safety (Remember kids were pulled over 2X, we had multiple incidents of coordinated targeting and threatening behaviors that appear to be methods of intimidation.)  Most of the people are so beautiful and I'm in awe of their kindness. Unfortunately, there are others who lack certain empathetic traits and bank on a shadow good old boy system where the laws don't apply and the rules are not followed (Others in the area are talking about these networks, their immunity, and their lack of accountability so it is somewhat of a shared concern on record witnessed in different forms by different people. .....as crazy as it sounds! Ooops! 😕😬🙊💨). 

Here is the issue and I could outline what I believe to be racial, religious, social and financial crimes that should have been investigated and held to account when they first reared their head (They were about getting the "Muslim", and not following good judgement.). Not to mention taking advantage of the sick and ill and putting children in harm's way. I can go into significant depth but am not going to get that far with this post. 

I'm going to say this.... because I believe that not having accountability would be a crime in and of itself I have a responsibility to fulfill my oaths to my nation and to the moral conscience of our people to stand in opposition to these behaviors spreading through a lack of accountability. I would not be a fulling my role in society if I walked away from challenging directly that hate network, their supporters, and those who started it and another person gets hurt (I would own that from cowardice! Judge me all you want, I get it, people understand, we know how it works sometimes. The good news is the justice system is more conscious of itself now and I believe wants to improve.) 

These behaviors didn't just start over night and against my family and believe in reasonable logic that they have been used as tools in other places, with other people, for different reasons (i.e. I said in prior posts they were already knew they wee immune from any behavior and they knew exactly what they were doing almost as though they were well coordinated and polished in their activities. It looks like we may have one of those hidden extremist/criminal networks that have been accustomed to shadow market behaviors. Hypothetically in this hypothetical situation, if they knew they were committing crimes in a coordinated way then that might even bump it into a category which may lead to an assessment of whether such behaviors was an attempt to use the threat of violence to enforce ones racial and religious viewpoint in favor in the direct financial benefit of people within their clan based social networks. Maybe not? Maybe it doesn't reach that bar. I pray it doesn't because it would be a big mistake on their part for many moral and legal issues.). Yet some of these behaviors look like they have been going on for a while and community complaints look like they have been general ignored . That lack of proper management may might lead to a need for greater outside oversight. I leave that to the experts. (Complaints go back to the same people who have a vested interest in fixing them. Go look for yourself and trace the process. If so I think it would be helpful to have them independently reviewed and vetted before handing them over to the chiefs. They do need them to fix things but sometimes they may be part of the problem. I volunteer if you need someone who has enough knowledge to understand what corruption looks like as well as enough love of cops to not used a training opportunity as a reason to ruin someone's career. There are mistakes and "mistakes". Its the latter that makes highly concerned. ). 

Dealing with aggressive and potentially violent oriented hate based behavior is dangerous and I hope no one has to deal with these issues in any country and any place. To counter this default,  I plan on challenging positively, politely, scientifically, in a way that will help everyone improve in the end. Its about growth and ensuring it neve happens again. We are going to learn about these people, their behaviors, their motivations, and the lack of accountability in what appears from numerous recoded statements and concerns by local citizens as corruption! To not investigate this, means we are derelict in our duties in a way that would be a good sign our Democracy just took a backslide (I actually advocate for the next level of democracy's development which I believe is a universal democracy that comes from a logical line from slavery, segregation, our current transition stage between segregation and universal, and universal democracy where we are all treated as valuable members of society.)

Where there is a will, there is a way! This one is an important one! It strikes at our roots as a people. 

Queen City Shipwreck Hunting is Still On!

We still have a crew of individuals out looking for the Queen City shipwreck. The idea hasn't been abandoned. We think we have the right area and are going to canvas the waters for structures. One of the gentleman on the team called me yesterday and said his boat is ready. Last year he had a new boat and I had engine problems. This year I bought a new engine and he got the kinks out of his boat and prepared it for diving. 

The primary plan is to save the GPS coordinates each time we troll the area so that different boats can pick up where another left off last time. The structures, fish schools, rock masses, sunken cars, etc. that we find in each area are going to be put on a private NOAA depth map of the area. 

Both boats will sonar the bottom while trolling for fish (two birds one stone as we have to move slow), put down an underwater camera and figure out whether its worth coming back and diving as a team. 

We figure that even if we don't find the ship we probably know every major structure under the water as well as the best fishing spots. All of the boats have fish finders so it's not going to be a complete loss.

It will be interesting to see what we can discover. In many cases, we may find new things completely unrelated to the Queen City. For example, we might find another ship or we might find something that broke through the ice. Either way it gets us out on the water so that is half the battle as all of us are pretty busy so being on the water is great. 

Why Clan Based Laws Continue to Exist: Advice to Hate Survivors

Thinking through a few things that I think might help those in our country who have been targeted by biased groups and seen defaults in justice occur. First, while it feels very personal it truly isn't completely personal. The people who launch these hate networks do so because they are aware that their social networks will support them in their endeavors. There are often psychological, social, and financial benefits they obtain from these behaviors.

There is more.....

Having some level of support among one's friends and associates means they do not feel any accountability or responsibility for their behaviors. So its easy for them to scan the environment for a target and act on those deeper distorted impulses. Depending on the level of and quality of character and value within their group, there is unlikely going to be much accurate feedback due to social adherence rules.

A particularly nasty problem occurs when the local justice system gets involved to help their clan associates in ways that are similar to what we have seen defaulted nations and regions of the world. Not only do these clan associates become immune to the normal constraints of law but also are supported in their hate simply because of such racial, religious, and other homogenous affiliations and perceptions.

In other words, it becomes a moral argument among members to support hate......

Trust me when I say this, Its not personal to you. The rotted fabric that tore a hole in our conscious and in our Constitution were there already. Years in making and poor socialization of values and a lop sided view of America and what it stands for.

I have seen people manipulate their environment for self gain including advantage of the sick and ill as well as putting kids in harm's way. I have seen people spread hate rumors in order to physically, emotionally, financial gain benefits from the outcomes of "charging their networks" into action. (It still sort of makes me scratch my head because I have never seen this before on this level. So bazaar. It should be studied.)

What is the end of it all? As a huge percentage of Americans know, justice often moves too slow, doesn't always do the right thing, and often there is little to no accountability for certain behaviors that we should be concerned about. Sometimes the indifference ends up emboldening such hate groups to commit additional crimes later against others while sometimes it just fades into the background.

Yet, before we speak too harshly, there are those who are doing the right thing. The system and most of the people do strive for a better America and I believe are making sacrifices. That is why we should not turn a blind eye to hate and corruption. It stains the honor, sacrifices, and lofty goals of not only those good officers that maintain who believe in their oaths but also the system that seeks actualized justice. They are not are not perfect, they are imperfectly striving to an ideal.

 My goal with this writing is to improve that system and improve the understanding that we all have value no matter what false perceptions of equality one has. It actually isn't to put anyone in jail. It is to ensure it never happens again and those who started these dangerous behaviors that put people at risk don't get rewarded for it. That sounds fair to me, but I'm not always the person people get their advice from. I recognize my way of looking at the world may be unique and out of fashion.

The ease of constitutional default is common and this is why I'm 100% in support of our police, like a good friend, to let them know they have an important role and that supersedes individual friends, or departmental cultures. A level of positive based reform is a helpful thing in keeping them focused on their purpose; protect and serve their communities. It will help the good officers who often navigate toxic environments, and feel high amounts of pressure to not report certain behaviors, a chance to breath freely and act in the good nature they were born with.  

We must maintain the long term trust in our institutions. (That is supported through a few studies. Its a trend so let us please work on doing the right thing in every situation.).

While most police are good people, I have helped them many times, there are subversive elements that have developed unique unit cultures that sometimes go rogue. i.e. scorpion gangs.  Because of general biasness we do not encourage those who caused the problem, those who jumped into support hate, and those within the system that defaulted to take advantage to improvement opportunities. It isn't the police, its the culture within departments and sometimes among departments that causes inappropriate environmental pressures to allow inappropriate behaviors to go unchecked (Yes, there are toxic people in policing that sometimes create toxic environments).

Who suffers? It may look like its just the minority families and kids so it isn't see as much concern (Yep, no worries.). Society also becomes weaker because people become aware that the professed laws are not actually the rules in function in some places. Shadow laws sometimes become more important and directly challenge official laws. No one voted on those laws, we just have to live by them simply because, well, I'm not really sure why we should live by them. I think its better to change because we need to find a way to develop our human capital and that will come in part through institutional trust.

Take heart this situation, and situations just like this, will change in our country because there is no other positive option or outcome in the future. As of present, if you find yourself out there having to navigate around corruption and lack of protections against hate, let me say that in the next 10 years I believe this situation will be resolved. People are changing, they want a nation where we can be our absolute best as a people and compete internationally (These who support hate don't care about their nation, they care about their ideologies and who they think "looks" American). Performance requires opening the doors to everyone. That is my America, the land of the free and indivisible (As soon as we can convince the clan and local law enforcement that its also important.)

Here are two studies you can consider helpful.....

Hate Speech on Social Media: Global Comparisons

Cause for Concern 2024: The State of Hate

Why am I doing this? Because there were multiple victims that can't stand up for themselves and they have no voice.

An Article Teaches Why Its Time for the U.S. to Compete (War Games)

If you would like to read something that sent shivers down my spin it is the article below by Politico. Its not often that I read something and I think about the longer term ramifications of not being proactive as possible. Its a pretty in depth article so expect to sit for a while. Before you read, I have been advocating for innovation and development of infrastructure for a long time to encourage advanced Digital Age development (Basically, all next Gen stuff). 

To me, I think the markets are shifting back to U.S. manufacturing and if we were wise and played our cards right since COVID-19, we may find some of the negative news over the past few decades to provide a reversal of fortune. A little light at the end of the tunnel, a flicker of animal spirits in the economic world, one must provide vision and direction (human capital).

Some of that direction has come from the need to build stronger advanced manufacturing to strengthen our economic prospects. Such manufacturing requires equally advanced supply chains that can cross navigate and cross coordinate across different global networks. Its a much more finer and more calibrated system then what we had in the past because of the evolving changes in e-commerce. 

The Pentagon Is Freaking Out About a Potential War With China

Whatever we were doing in the past didn't completely work. The process got stale and we failed to change at some point which left us in a less then desirable position (We have a good economic base and some diversity opportunities China doesn't have. For example, Communism is about control and thus about uniformity. The U.S. as a diverse nation that seeks to maximize freedom encourage at its root creative competition. They are different systems. We are just failing to maximize our human capital well and there are a number of institutional and political reasons why that is happening.). We can change that, enhance our industrial base and develop our creative human capital. The problem is that we must be committed to change through a shared vision what that change may look like.

In some ways, we must again inspire our youth to become dreamers, strivers, inventors and builders! Switch the paradigm and put down the silliness of our times, learn from history, and make a commitment to a future strategic place. Change takes real commitment to our ideals and to our development as a nation. All Americans no matter their background. Republican and Democrat own the outcomes of this one and both parties owe the American people their best efforts. 

Are UAP Possible? Science Can Answer but Maybe Not Just Yet

Its funny we are talking about UFO's and we are doing so credibly. Some talk of UAPs and NASA. If your looking for some discussion on skepticism you can watch below. I do believe science can answer these wonders of the universe but without enough information we won't be able to definitively answer these questions. 

Personally, I think anything that you can invent with our mind is possible. I also believe it is more likely of human origin but because of all the unknowns I cannot rule out alien intelligent life. I believe we have found indications of microbial alien life so I would suspect higher forms are possible. 

Rumors, 14th Amendment and Principles of Justice! (Yale or Harvard?)

One of the things that happens in hate situations is the use of words as weapons and tools to damage, isolate, and eventually justify further hate against minorities (Doesn't have to be a minority. It could be an opposing party, retaliation, in opposition to something, etc. The point is that it is directed and intentionally destructive to its fellow Americans.) Hate is a tool used by some to set a stage against others. Let us explore the concept of hate form a hypothetical standpoint. It is helpful to sort of put some of these things into context for greater understanding and awareness.

(FYI You will see the concept of principle. Principle is not a rule but more of an observation that can be used to summarize knowledge from a particular phenomenon to create models. If the literature research more or less fits with what might be found in the thought experiment of a hypothetical situation we might say there is construct validity. A tool for pulling out the essentials in an argument for greater clarity. One could hypothetically code them, cross reference with literature/studies/observations for validity, and then chart potential connections of behaviors to better decipher what actually happened from a cause and effect. Some of this can be done by secondary data. I'm just saying hypothetically because it would depend on how much information could be obtained. That would be an intensive and intrusive process I suspect. Unless say departments, people, officers, etc. voluntarily did it just for the science of it all. We could use such information to solve similar problems in another place and save lives and protect liberty. I think if I was sort of thinking about the greater good. 🤔)

Its helpful to notice that this group of individuals have been spreading rumors for a long time and few within those networks can say that they didn't understand what is/was going on. If we (family and 10s of millions of Americans) were not seen as out-group "others", people would have likely questioned and disagreed with the dangerous hate based rhetoric. Yet because the other is a seemingly appropriately place to dump one's insecurities it then becomes fashionable in these networks that were prior predisposed through inappropriate perceptions to hold these perceptions.

Ok, ok, ......yes people often hold some bias against a lot of things and that isn't necessarily a problem. However, when there are racial, religious, and other differences matched with intentionally ostracization and aggressiveness that is an issue. Maybe not? The issue becomes more troubling when we find that there may not be backstops in the local justice system to protect our citizens. It might be important but that could also depend on what you think the role of our institutions are. I think they are to help society and I sort of put them in that framework (not everyone does).

(People like me know sort of how these systems work. Mostly people have their hearts in the right place but not everyone. We are considered somewhat disposable members in networks like this. In many ways, we learn what the most likely end result is and people will make decisions in complex ways but end of the day typically history repeats itself. As we have seen over the past few years in our struggles to hold to account local extremism that the laws sort stop apply where someone wants something and holds a biased view. All the flattery words we give lip service to don't really matter when they swear their oaths for liberty and justice just to look good and then walk out the door to do the exact opposite. While that may be a minority of people, there are still some who do it and there is almost no mechanism to get beyond their immunity. These people knew they were immune when they started and they were good at what they were doing so there was likely other situations and times when the intent of law was thrown out the window for the technicalities. Its a manipulation that has been going on with people for generations. From what I hear, that is a possibility. I'm not noble anything but there are moral issues when you target adults, kids, and community members. Its a shared experience for a huge percentage of society so I don't think any leader at any political persuasion of any religious background should ignore millions of people because they have an issue with our central American principles. There are some of us who know that justice sometimes reaches it intended goal many times it just gets short of that. Hypothetically but I suspect much of society might feel the same. Here is one person's view of the topic in 'Corruption and Discrimination: Two sides of the same coin?' Before you get excited I'm 100% for police, 110% for civil rights and freedom of religion like the first Pilgrims wanted, and 150% for our Constitution and values of freedom. In todays world, not sure everyone understands those concepts. Its about making the best system in the world based on our shared values and those extremist views should not be given official recognition and credibility. For example, no one has been held to account and it makes no difference how obvious or illegal the behavior. That is what a huge swatch of society sees in these hypothetical cases. Sometimes it works out a different way and the law comes through on a higher order universal system. Likely the next stage in our democracy's development.)

Once people follow their social networks without thinking based on already distorted perceptions of the world we have what is called a socially constructed reality (There was a discussion on this prior.👆). To anchor this, I think there is an extensive library of history books of similarly motivated incidents and the atrocities that resulted from blind followership only to be debunked in hindsight by history. There are times when one must have distance to recalculate the way in which they selectively misinterpret information (That is why I love being a pacifist for the most part because you have the patience to be patient. Plato and Allegory of Cave)

Principle: Group hate follows social networks and creates its own logic like a cult. 

Principle: Hate speech can be embedded into the messages and intent of rumors.

Principle: Lack of accountability and back stops indicate potential clan type systems of justice.

While we can profess fairness and justice we cannot yet claim that in this hypothetical situation until we know the final outcomes. (As a hypothetical there needs not be more outcome than understanding. If it was real then it would be a pretty big problem!)We should not expect justice to be 100% accurate all the time but we should always expect it to reach for our ideals and do the very best it can with tools it currently manages. In earnestness to do the right thing, update its tools, ask the right questions, follow our American ideas and at its very root have awake 'moral conscious' that leads to moral conscience.

 (Don't get too hung up on the example I included. Most major religions I studied have a similar strain of logic and I could show that if someone was in doubt. Often this is the cause because they share histories and moral essentials. For example, in most countries its immoral to murder, steal, and commit offenses but not all countries enforce those basic values from a universal perspective.  This was writing by a doctor in the field that has published many times about these topics so I think that trumps extremist views on professed beliefs. I wonder if he would have an opinion on the hypothetical situation for learning and teaching sake?🤔)

Principle: While we cannot expect justice to be 100% accurate we should expect it to reach for the highest of justice ideals (i.e. not being stuck in blind processes without constantly challenging them.)

When such situations occur with obvious bigotries and acts of sanctioned aggression, we should to start thinking about the long term impact of its potential to be repeated in other places in similar ways (I would guess a side argument might be how many other places?)

Principle: What happens in one place can be happening in others so we must be diligent in providing realized justice in each case.

What if we had a country that only a small sliver of religious were accepted, laws were disparate among people, there were no backstops to crimes, no accountably when issues happen, no ability of certain races or religious to obtain employment (blocked and ghosted from a local part-time employment after employer said a person was more than qualified. If so it would be a serious EEOC violation), intentional targeting of minority children by officers/friends/network, etc.? We could get really excited and add to the confounding situation officers trying to protect their own from getting in trouble when they should have reported these potentially illegal behaviors right away. They were caught in false expectations of their roles. Under that impossible scenario it would create serious long term risks to stability.

Principle: It would be strategically misaligned to allow an emphasis on allowing disparate treatment between diverse religions, races, social networks, political ideologies, etc. in a nation as large as ourselves and within our cultural perspectives of freedom.

Ask yourself how such local defunct systems might seem to the targets and the vast majority of now diverse Americans? Especially important for vets and others who served their country but then found when its convenient these groups can wipe away all the centuries of people who have fought and died for their country simply because that person wasn't the right race or religion. Its disrespectful and in my humble opinion against our Constitution and thus unamerican in its root orientation. 

Principle: Its unamerican to target veterans (that includes others), intellectuals, community activists/improvers and/or police, government officials or others simply because  of one's distorted outlook on nationalism and patriotism.

Being a free people and a free nation rests on encouraging freedom and justice in hypothetical cases just like this impossible scenario which we know could never happen just because we know it! It becomes increasingly difficult to convince the next generation we actualize those values without taking steps to preserve them from dissolution. (Notice I didn't say profess those values and then not follow through. I think deep down people know the difference between leadership and used car salesman within their souls. It might take them a while with reflection to understand what they sense but I think we are rooted to know the difference in professed and actualized values.)

Sometimes it is better to whisper, "Who are you and what defines you?" or perhaps, "Who are we if we allow such behaviors to go unaccounted or unimproved?" (Make the connection between us as individuals and us as a collective. Think through the different perceptual angles of I, ME, and WE. ) There is something called the 14th Amendment but often these are outside the scope of my hypothetical conversation. I suspect if someone violates these amendments, with or without knowledge, then their ability to maintain our principles in a leadership position is compromised. Thus, as a leader they did not function to fulfill their role as a public servant. Thus, I leave the interpretation of the 14th Amendment to those who discussed this concept at Yale “Equal Protection” Origins and Legacies of the Fourteenth Amendment)

(I think I might be more of a Harvard man but I'm not really sure, Yale sometimes comes up with some good stuff! My friend just got a degree from Harvard and he likes it, so I suspect Yale would be pretty similar. I took a couple of classes but failed/abandoned my economics class and then got busy so I didn't reenroll. Kind of want to poke around and take a few more to keep my brain pliable update my skills. Maybe take on from Yale and just see if  they are similar or different. I hear they are just different type of people. Anyway, this is kind of funny.😅💨 Why Did I Choose Yale?).
