Yeah but that shouldn't surprise anyone. They have been shaky for a very long time.

Or if you’re a pilot. That loophole was closed…so any pilot that works in the US, but lives in PR pays federal and PR tax.

If that whets your appetite, James Burnham’s “ The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom”
Neither of these books (or their authors) are available through my local library system...

“Neema Parvini specialises in Shakespeare studies. His research interests include political and moral philosophy, cognitive psychology, early modern history, literary theory, and historiography. He took his BA (hons) in English from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2004. During his time as an undergraduate, he won the a McDonalds Scholarship (2001), the Margaret Bretherton Memorial Prize (2002), the Gertrude Schryver Prize (2004) and the Edmée Manning Award (2004). He gained his Masters degree in twentieth-century literature from Oxford university with distinction in 2005. He returned to Royal Holloway in 2006, where he was awarded a Thomas Holloway Scholarship to read for his PhD, which he completed in 2010.“

Not really someone I think anyone needs political advice from.

Thumbs up.

A well educated, well read, generalist who has developed some ability to think in terms of systems rather than reductionist specifics can have insights a specialist misses.
That said, it ain't always the case...it just can sometimes be so.

Yep, a degree in Shakespeare. Lol what a joke. This is for the little round glasses crowd I guess. The “smart people” have gotten us into a lot of trouble.

20 years on from your degree, had you learned anything or developed at all as a person?
