TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT ISN'T ENOUGH since a university degree isn't nearly as valuable as it once was.

REP. PRAMILA JAYAPAL: Student debt cancellation is 'racial justice,' 'gender justice,' 'economic justice'.

Justice? Where's my justice? My wife and I paid our student loans (something on the order of $30,000 in today's dollars) in full -- on an income of less 1/3 of today's minimum wage.

If this succeeds, I want my money back.

I CERTAINLY HOPE SO: Will conservative investors now become shareholder activists and battle woke boardrooms.

I'll be doing my small (actually tiny) part. It's annual meeting season and I always vote my shares. Usually I concur with the board makeup and limit myself to voting 'no' on the idiotic proposals put forward by Leftists. This year I will also be voting 'no' on every corporate board member I cannot confirm is a conservative in good standing.

It's a small thing, but if enough of us do the same maybe the various Boards will get the message that corporations belong to the shareholders, not the stakeholders.

WILL 1+1 STILL BE 2? University orders professors to 'decolonize' (whatever that means) math.

SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE highlights its own hypocrisy.

It's hard to summarize, so read it all, but the gist is that the speakers pretty uniformly decried the effects of social justice:

Governing elites and institutional and corporate leaders are generally vociferous supporters of social justice. Yet speaker after speaker showed how these groups have cruelly abandoned broad swathes of vulnerable Americans—including children, the working class, black Americans, and the urban poor—in implementing scientifically uninformed, politically partisan, and self-serving policies.

So much so that the Dean of the School of Business, Economics, and Government was forced(?) to apologize and refuse to allow videos of the conference to be distributed.

Again, read the whole thing.

SPRINGTIME 2022, Week 7: Well, it's Easter and we're out of town, so these pictures were taken a day early, and it looks like Spring is finally back permanently. Here's our intrepid forsythia, now in full bloom:

Now on to the usuals -- the pond view first. This is a slightly different view from last week, looking a bit more northerly from our deck. It's a bit more forested, so it looks like maybe a show of leaves but no, while the trees are definitely showing buds, they're not yet camera ready.

The fire pit view is a bit better; the green is mostly the evergreens showing through the bare branches.

Here's another, taken looking downslope from the corner of our property. Trees are still bare, but budding, and the ground cover is peeking through further downslope. I've quit brushcutting and am now going to maintenance mode, just weedeating to keep the growth low. Next week's pictures from down at the pond should be showing green on the slopes again.

Finally the dogwoods really took a beating this year. Our early bloomer is bare, and may not have survived the freeze. The others are all beginning to bloom, but the blossoms are sparse this year.

Until next week....

ANOTHER SMASHUP at the Leftist intersectionality. The Left is subdividing so rapidly that soon there will be only person ... er, individual ... left at each intersection.

Be sure to read the comments.

RANDOM (BUT OPTIMISTIC) THOUGHT: Even with the most incompetent leadership in the history of the United States, we will still prevail.

Or maybe it's just Easter....

IT'S THAT 'they can't see their own hypocrisy' thing again.
