Fire Them All

Here’s hoping that Javier Milei’s labor market reforms continue to gain traction. Notice how the news item is framed in such a way as to draw no connection between the undeserved power of Peronist labor unions and “frequent economic shocks”.

The bill, which grants employers greater flexibility in matters of hiring, firing, severance and collective bargaining, has drawn fierce opposition from labor unions and their Peronist allies, who argue it would roll back measures that protect workers from abuse and Argentina’s notoriously frequent economic shocks.

Garbage in, garbage graduates;

Berkeley gender and race studies students were given the task of creating and editing Wikipedia pages and filling them with critical theory/queer propaganda instead of submitting final papers — for over a decade.

“It’s about who controls knowledge.”

“We’re not changing history,” Rodriguez explained while literally changing history. “We’re just correcting Wikipedia’s heteronormative bias by having ideologically uniform students systematically revise articles according to our approved narrative framework.”

Taxes For Detox

It’s one thing to admit that BC’s approach to hard drugs has failed, but it’s another to offer up taxpayer funded treatment programs for every addict for as long as it takes as the alternative. I’m pretty sure that Elenore Sturko’s not planning to fund any of that on her own.

“If someone voluntarily wants to get help, I am your biggest champion,” she counters. “I want you to walk into any door and to be able to say, ‘I want detox today, and I need to go to treatment, and I’d like lifelong support and counselling if I need it, and a nice place to live that’s drug-free and safe for me.’

No Retirement For You!

While most of these youngsters can see a problem, my guess is that only about ten percent of them can understand why it exists: it’s the inevitable outcome of an exponentially rising debt burden colliding with demographics.

A report by BMO published on Monday showed 73 per cent of millennials surveyed believe retirement planning will be more difficult than it was for their parents, followed by generation X at 67 per cent, generation Z at 61 per cent and boomers at 60 per cent.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Buses

Everything old is new again.

On the heels of a statewide mandate requiring all school bus purchases in New York State be electric by 2027, parents in the Lake Shore Central School District are speaking out, claiming some bus drivers are turning the heat down, or off completely, in an attempt to conserve battery life on their electric school buses.

WIVB News 4 has received several calls from concerned parents in the school district, which covers parts of Angola, Brant, and Derby, regarding their child’s bus trips to and from school, claiming they’re coming in freezing when they get home after getting off the bus.

The kids are coming home saying their bus is freezing cold and the parents are giving them hand warmers.

“The heaters on the bus run off the same electricity as the bus itself,” said Scott Ziobro, a former school board candidate and parent who has children who go to school in the district. “They were told that it drains the battery capacity of the bus itself.”

And that’s why they’re building a new state-of-the-art bunker under the new White House ballroom.

As Gen Z ditch books at record levels, students are arriving to classrooms unable to complete assigned reading on par with previous expectations. It’s leaving colleges no choice but to lower their expectations.

One shocked professor has described young adults showing up to class, unable to read a single sentence.
“It’s not even an inability to critically think,” Jessica Hooten Wilson, a professor of great books and humanities at Pepperdine University told Fortune. “It’s an inability to read sentences.” […]

With students struggling, academics have been forced to adapt—a move critics describe as “coddling.”

For her part, Wilson has turned to reading passages aloud together, discussing them line by line, or repeatedly returning to a single poem or text over the course of a semester—in part so students can begin to develop the skills to read critically on their own and be prepared for their post-graduate career.

Rather than shovel ever more taxpayer dollars at administratively bloated post-secondary institutions, why not privatize them so they are free to allocate resources based on actual demand from employers? Otherwise, they’ll just continue to give gender studies the same priority as engineering.

Ontario’s universities and colleges are looking for billion-dollar funding boosts in the province’s upcoming budget, investments they are framing as critical to Premier Doug Ford’s plan to “protect Ontario” from tariff impacts by strengthening domestic capabilities.

The Council of Ontario Universities says in its pre-budget submission that its institutions are at “a breaking point” and they are calling for an additional $1.2 billion in operating funding next year, with that amount increasing to $1.6 billion by 2028-29.

Science;

Academic papers by women and racial minorities were prioritized for publication by the American Political Science Review, according to a new report from the Goldwater Institute.

The policy is just one of the results of a takeover by the self-described “Feminist Collective” at the publication, run by the American Political Science Association and published by Cambridge University Press.

The all-female editorial group also shifted the journal’s focus to identity politics and away from topics such as the U.S. Constitution, the study from the Goldwater Institute concluded. The group lost power in 2024, however it may have approved some articles that were published into 2025, which covers the most recent set of issues. Goldwater’s report covered articles published between 2020 and 2025.[…]

Articles that the American Political Science Review published under the directives of the “Feminist Collective” include “Universal Suffrage as Decolonization,” “From Thin to Thick Representation: How a Female President Shapes Female Parliamentary Behavior,” and “Overcoming the Political Exclusion of Migrants: Theory and Experimental Evidence from India.”
