Summers called this female Chinese economist “peril.”

“Yellow peril” was partially built on the claim that Chinese women were sexually immoral threats.

That logic fueled the Page Act of 1875, which barred Chinese women by presuming they were prostitutes, even before the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.

Es un disparate económico, una injusticia y un escándalo pretender subir los impuestos al trabajo y la generación de valor (las cuotas de autónomos y las cotizaciones) mientras las rentas del alquiler siguen bonificadas en muchos casos al 100%.

1. En una economía donde la propiedad inmobiliaria determina la riqueza y la posición social, el conflicto no es entre jóvenes y boomers.

El verdadero conflicto es entre quienes acumulan propiedades y quienes carecen de ellas.

Race does not exist. It is a fictitious category constructed to justify racism. Using racial categories to describe people *presupposes* the racial distinction such positions pretend to 'prove'. And those who use racial categories to support any kind of discrimination are racists. Not hard.

He created a list of professors to harass/threaten/kill to curb free speech among minoritized professor and/or professors teaching about topics like race and gender.

He was never an advocate for free speech, he engaged in hate speech encouraging violence.
