Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy urged white Christians to take the opportunity to repent for racism following weeks of Black Lives Matter protests .
Discussing race relations with Passion City Church program “ The Beloved Community ” on Monday , Cathy said white people are “ oblivious ” to the racism towards blacks .
“ Most of us , white people , we ’ re out-of-sight-out-of-mind oblivious to it , ” Cathy told the church ’ s founder Louie Guglio and black Christian rapper Lecrae .
“ We can not let this moment pass.
” Cathy , who ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , said despite many of his restaurants being vandalized during recent riots , it would behoove white people to identify with the frustration blacks feel toward perceived “ conscious and unconscious biases.
” Cathy said there were “ about a dozen Chick-fil-A restaurants vandalized in the last week , but my plea would be for the white people , rather than point fingers at that kind of criminal effort , would be to see the level of frustration and exasperation and almost the sense of hopelessness that exists on some of those activists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as caucasians , until we ’ re willing to just pick up the baton and fight for our black , African-American brothers and sisters , which they are as one human race , we ’ re shameful .

Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy urged white Christians to take the opportunity to repent for racism following weeks of Black Lives Matter protests.
Discussing race relations with Passion City Church program “The Beloved Community” on Monday, Cathy said white people are “oblivious” to the racism towards blacks.
“Most of us, white people, we’re out-of-sight-out-of-mind oblivious to it,” Cathy told the church’s founder Louie Guglio and black Christian rapper Lecrae. “We cannot let this moment pass.”
Cathy, who’s the son of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, said despite many of his restaurants being vandalized during recent riots, it would behoove white people to identify with the frustration blacks feel toward perceived “conscious and unconscious biases.”
Cathy said there were “about a dozen Chick-fil-A restaurants vandalized in the last week, but my plea would be for the white people, rather than point fingers at that kind of criminal effort, would be to see the level of frustration and exasperation and almost the sense of hopelessness that exists on some of those activists within the African-American community.”
“We as caucasians, until we’re willing to just pick up the baton and fight for our black, African-American brothers and sisters, which they are as one human race, we’re shameful. We’re just adding to it,” Truett said, adding, “Our silence is so huge at this time. We cannot be silent. Somebody has to fight and God has so blessed our city [Atlanta], but it’s shameful how we let things get so out of whack.”
After reciting an anecdote about a white man who shined an elderly black man’s shoes at a church revival service in Texas, Cathy then brought out a shoe shine brush and proceeded to shine Lacrae’s shoes, saying, “So I invite folks just to put some words to action here and if we need to find somebody that needs to have their shoes shined we need to just go right on over and shine their shoes; and whether they got tennis shoes on or not maybe they got sandals on it really doesn’t matter but there’s a time of which we need to have you know some some personal action here maybe we need to give him a hug too.”
“Any expressions of a contrite heart, of a sense of humility, a sense of shame, a sense of embarrassment … an apologetic heart, I think that’s what our world needs to hear today,” Cathy said, adding he’d sent shoe shine brushes to all Chick-fil-A operators and staff a few years ago.
The shoe shine was prompted by Lacrae asking if there were any areas “where we need to repent” for the sins of racism.
Fox News notes Cathy’s comments on race come as the restaurant had to explain a years-old photo that circulated on social media earlier this month of an employee wearing a “back the blue” shirt, which many assumed meant the company supported police amid “black lives matter” protests.
Earlier this month, Cathy released a statement saying he’d use his “power and influence with policy-makers and friends to turn their attention to the inequities happening in our local community.

newswars--2020-06-18--UN Human Rights Chief Calls for Global ‘Reparations’ for ‘People of African Descent’

United Nations Human Rights Chief and former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has called for global “ reparations ” for people of African descent to redress historical violence .
On Wednesday , radical leftist Bachelet issued a statement in response to the in-custody killing of suspected fraudster George Floyd .
Since the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis last month , a wave of massive protests has surged forward – not only across every state in the United States , but also in dozens of countries in Europe and all around the world .
That act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the systemic racism that harms millions of people of African descent – causing pervasive , daily , life-long , generational and too often , lethal harm .
It has become emblematic of the excessive use of disproportionate force by law enforcement – against people of African descent , against people of color , and against indigenous peoples , and racial and ethnic minorities , in many countries across the globe .
It has brought to a head the outrage of people who feel they are neither adequately served , nor adequately heard , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to their feet millions of allies – people who are now beginning to acknowledge the reality of systemic discrimination suffered by others , and to join their demand that every person in their countries be treated with equality , fairness and respect .
Bachelet goes onto address her African colleagues and the recent George Floyd protests and riots to feel reverberations on a global level .
Now we need decisive action across the world – not only to reform or re-imagine specific institutions and law enforcement agencies , important though that is , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrodes institutions of government , entrenches inequality and underlies so many violations of human rights .
And the cycles of impunity which have permitted this to happen must end .
From poor health-care to inadequate education , limited job advancement , refusals of housing and mortgage loans , ill-treatment by officials , practical restrictions on the right to vote and over-incarceration in prisons , racial discrimination produces overwhelming harm to millions of people .

They include banning of chokeholds by police ; rulings that prohibit the use of tear gas , rubber bullets and flash grenades against peaceful protestors ; limitations on provision of military-grade weaponry to police forces ; and – perhaps most vital of all – measures to better ensure both prompt and effective accountability and prosecution for misconduct by security forces .

United Nations Human Rights Chief and former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has called for global “reparations” for people of African descent to redress historical violence.
On Wednesday, radical leftist Bachelet issued a statement in response to the in-custody killing of suspected fraudster George Floyd.
The statement read:
Since the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis last month, a wave of massive protests has surged forward – not only across every state in the United States, but also in dozens of countries in Europe and all around the world.
That act of gratuitous brutality has come to symbolize the systemic racism that harms millions of people of African descent – causing pervasive, daily, life-long, generational and too often, lethal harm.
It has become emblematic of the excessive use of disproportionate force by law enforcement – against people of African descent, against people of color, and against indigenous peoples, and racial and ethnic minorities, in many countries across the globe.
It has brought to a head the outrage of people who feel they are neither adequately served, nor adequately heard, by their governments.
It has brought to their feet millions of allies – people who are now beginning to acknowledge the reality of systemic discrimination suffered by others, and to join their demand that every person in their countries be treated with equality, fairness and respect.
Bachelet goes onto address her African colleagues and the recent George Floyd protests and riots to feel reverberations on a global level.
Bachelet continues:
Now we need decisive action across the world – not only to reform or re-imagine specific institutions and law enforcement agencies, important though that is, but to address the pervasive racism that corrodes institutions of government, entrenches inequality and underlies so many violations of human rights. And the cycles of impunity which have permitted this to happen must end.
From poor health-care to inadequate education, limited job advancement, refusals of housing and mortgage loans, ill-treatment by officials, practical restrictions on the right to vote and over-incarceration in prisons, racial discrimination produces overwhelming harm to millions of people.
I have been heartened to see some first measures now being taken by national and local authorities to implement reforms of practices related to policing that are long overdue. They include banning of chokeholds by police; rulings that prohibit the use of tear gas, rubber bullets and flash grenades against peaceful protestors; limitations on provision of military-grade weaponry to police forces; and – perhaps most vital of all – measures to better ensure both prompt and effective accountability and prosecution for misconduct by security forces.
The ex-President took to Twitter to echo similar sentiments in a Tweet. She wrote: “We should go beyond existing recommendations. Time is of the essence. Patience has run out. Black lives matter.

A new study into the impact that “viral” incidents of alleged police brutality have on crime found that in riot-hit cities like Baltimore and Ferguson, excess homicides and felonies rapidly spiked following highly publicized incidents.
The study was conducted by Tanaya Devi and Roland G. Fryer Jr for the National Bureau of Economic Research.
“For investigations that were not preceded by “viral” incidents of deadly force, investigations, on average, led to a statistically significant reduction in homicides and total crime,” states the study. “In stark contrast, all investigations that were preceded by “viral” incidents of deadly force have led to a large and statistically significant increase in homicides and total crime.”
In other words, due to what has been termed the “Ferguson affect,” police are seemingly more reticent to patrol high crime areas or engage with potential suspects in fear of becoming the next villain of the Black Lives Matter movement.
According to the authors, “We estimate that these investigations caused almost 900 excess homicides and almost 34,000 excess felonies.”
A new study from Devi and Fryer looked at the homicide aftermath in cities (Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Ferguson, Riverside) in which PDs were investigated after “viral” killings. Result: 900 excess murders, 34,000 excess felonies. Now extrapolate those numbers more broadly. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 18, 2020
The study notes that the reason for the spike is an “abrupt change in the quantity of policing activity,” or in other words less police on patrol and less interactions with criminal suspects.
This gives criminals more free reign to terrorize areas of cities knowing that they are less likely to be stopped by police.
“In Chicago, the number of police-civilian interactions decreased by almost 90% in the month after the investigation was announced. In Riverside CA, interactions decreased 54%. In St. Louis, self-initiated police activities declined by 46%,” the study found.
Given that much of the violence in cities like Chicago is black on black, this is yet another example of how the Black Lives Matter movement is harming black people by leaving them exposed to violent criminals.
We’re seeing this phenomenon unfold yet again in Atlanta, where Officer Garrett Rolfe is facing 11 charges including felony murder for shooting 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks, despite the fact that Brooks pointed a taser at him and is a career criminal who beat his wife and terrorized his own children.
This led to police in Atlanta threatening to go on strike, which of course will almost certainly lead to a massive spike in crime.

NATO is looking into a run-in between the French and Turkish navies, the alliance’s chief Jens Stoltenberg has said. The incident occurred when a French vessel attempted to check a ship suspected of smuggling arms to Libya.
“We have made sure that the NATO military authorities are investigating the incident to bring full clarity into what happened,” NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said on Thursday.
France has publicly called out fellow NATO member Turkey for its actions, claiming that Ankara’s frigates were acting “extremely aggressive” towards one of its naval vessels.
The French ship tried to check a “suspicious” freighter, believed to be smuggling arms into Libya in violation of a UN embargo. But the cargo vessel, which was escorted by two Turkish frigates, tried to conceal its credentials and refused to say where it was going, while the warships directed their radars at the French ship.
After the incident, Paris accused Ankara of violating the embargo and fueling the Libyan conflict.
“The main obstacle to the establishment of peace and stability in Libya today lies in the systematic violation of the UN arms embargo, in particular by Turkey, despite the commitments made in Berlin,” the French Foreign Ministry said.
Turkey denied all the accusations, insisting that the French had sought to search the vessel in international waters, which “was not permitted.” It also blamed Paris for “exacerbating” the crisis in Libya by supporting the so-called Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar against the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) – which Ankara overtly backs.
Paris, however, maintains that it does not support any of the warring parties, but wants them to enter a truce.

Stargazers are eagerly awaiting a truly awe-inspiring celestial spectacle this weekend , as a phenomenon known as an annular solar eclipse –aka a ‘ Ring of Fire ’ – is set to adorn skies across the globe .
The ring of fire eclipse will take place between June 20 and 21 ( depending on the viewing location ) when the Moon partially obscures our view of the Sun , creating a silhouette of star fire .
This particular event only happens when the Moon is at its farthest point from the Earth in its orbit , appearing smaller in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differentiating it from other solar eclipses .
At the peak of the eclipse on June 21 , the moon will block 99.4 percent of the Sun right as the pair dance above the skies of northern India .

For those unfortunate enough not to be in the direct path of the annular eclipse , fear not , as multiple livestreamevents have already been arranged .
“ It ’ s only two minutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you talk about it with your friends , family for the next month , ” said geophysicist Alexander Alin , who observed the 2019 event in person .
The next ring of fire will occur in 2021 but will likely only be clearly visible in its entirety from the Arctic .

Speculative frenzy in the midst of recession is not a new phenomenon .

Speculative narratives which would normally encounter much rational skepticism are now riveting investors .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the Fed ’ s credit paper purchase programs amount to a gift to the US corporate sector even larger than the business tax cuts of 2018 .

Two notorious past market frenzies during recessions came to an end with the eruption of credit and banking crisis .
First was the US stock market frenzy of winter 1930 .
The Dow Jones index rose 50 percent from November 29 to April 30 and was back to within 20 percent of that level on the eve of the Wall Street Crash .

Is the present frenzy in recession different ?
As a reference point , on average US stocks in mid-June 2020 are back to their prerecession peak ( the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] estimates February 2020 as the start of the recession ) .
But a group of “ pandemic stocks ” —in businesses whose profits gain directly from pandemic , such as online retailing , cloud computing , pharmaceuticals , video conferencing and communication in cyberspace more generally , and computer games , and in businesses whose monopoly power is potentially enhanced in the long run by the knockout of financially crippled competitors—have experienced rises in their prices to far above the level at the cyclical peak .
The nearest counterpart to this “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boom in war stocks during the period of US neutrality in World War I .
Similar to the boom in war stocks , this pandemic stock boom is occurring in the context of rampant monetary inflation .
A key difference is that inflation does not for now show up in goods markets .
In the case of war , competition from the military sector ( munitions and armed forces ) for scarce resources ( most of all labor ) means that prices rise immediately across a broad range ; in a pandemic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but mainly for the purpose of staying safe at home .
Demand from the sectors mounting defences against COVID-19 ( medical services , pharmaceuticals , constructors of safeguards for social distancing ) is quite modest .

Past Speculative Frenzies
Two notorious past market frenzies during recessions came to an end with the eruption of credit and banking crisis. First was the US stock market frenzy of winter 1930. The Dow Jones index rose 50 percent from November 29 to April 30 and was back to within 20 percent of that level on the eve of the Wall Street Crash. Then there was the oil (and wider commodity) market bubble of spring and summer 2008 (though US recession had already started in November 2007). The oil price peaked at $145 per barrel, followed by a collapse to below $40 the following year. The 1930 frenzy succumbed to the grim news of emerging credit (especially bank) defaults in the US and then, crucially, in Germany; the 2008 frenzy yielded to the subprime mortgage crisis coupled with the European banking crisis.
Is the present frenzy in recession different?
As a reference point, on average US stocks in mid-June 2020 are back to their prerecession peak (the National Bureau of Economic Research [NBER] estimates February 2020 as the start of the recession). But a group of “pandemic stocks”—in businesses whose profits gain directly from pandemic, such as online retailing, cloud computing, pharmaceuticals, video conferencing and communication in cyberspace more generally, and computer games, and in businesses whose monopoly power is potentially enhanced in the long run by the knockout of financially crippled competitors—have experienced rises in their prices to far above the level at the cyclical peak. The nearest counterpart to this “bubble” in pandemic stocks is the boom in war stocks during the period of US neutrality in World War I.
Similar to the boom in war stocks, this pandemic stock boom is occurring in the context of rampant monetary inflation. A key difference is that inflation does not for now show up in goods markets.
In the case of war, competition from the military sector (munitions and armed forces) for scarce resources (most of all labor) means that prices rise immediately across a broad range; in a pandemic, labor exits the supply-crippled civilian economy, but mainly for the purpose of staying safe at home. Demand from the sectors mounting defences against COVID-19 (medical services, pharmaceuticals, constructors of safeguards for social distancing) is quite modest.
Even so, the prospect of high goods inflation in the aftermath of pandemic may already be triggering some demand for real assets including stocks, especially those earning a present or prospective stream of monopoly rents (several of these found among the pandemic stocks).
The optimists tell us that there is no frenzy. Markets are responding rationally to news that the recession is already over (the NBER may indeed date the end May 2020). A strong economic recovery is now in process, as COVID-19’s offensive has been “beaten back.” This should gain new momentum into the winter as the present lull or truce is followed by a victory peace, meaning the arrival of effective cures and vaccines.
What look like hot speculative conditions in the marketplace now could morph into a prolonged “bull market” (a euphemism for sustained asset inflation). Examples of this phenomenon in the small sample size of history include the great asset inflations of 1922–28 or 1962–66, which both started early in the recovery from serious recessions (but not right at the beginning).

If one superimposes a massive supply shock and a subsequent rapid easing (of the supply constraints) on an already endogenously determined decline of business spending amid massive accumulation of malinvestment and financial excesses during the long preceding period of asset inflation (say, 2012–19), what will come into view? Most likely a fitful economic expansion, with an initial bounceback of private consumption from lockdowns but with business spending and international trade remaining depressed.
The emergence of sustained strong economic expansions such as accompanied the long asset inflations in the 1920s and 1960s will depend in part on victory over COVID-19. Also, however, there must be a victory for creative capitalism. Growing capital shortage amid the exposed obsolescence of much capital stock accumulated during the previous cycle should go along with high rates of return at the frontier of new investment opportunity.
The Pandemic Exposes the Bubbles
When the pandemic is over, it will not mean a reset of fundamental equity and credit values to the market price levels on the eve of pandemic levels. The period was already the late afternoon if not twilight of a long and virulent asset inflation. All the malinvestment which is now coming to light during the pandemic—whether in shale oil, the aircraft industry, auto industry, international supply chains, China and emerging markets, European export sectors, or commercial real estate—is surely worth some serious downgrade in aggregate valuations from the peak of the last cycle. This further write-off is highly relevant to credit paper.
The optimists retort that this time is different because of the extent to which the Fed and Uncle Sam are bailing out “the whole system.” But there is much fiction here.
Yes, the Fed under the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) can draw on up to $500 billion from the Treasury in compensation for aggregate losses on credit paper that it buys under its array of asset purchase programs. Such compensation, however, only covers a fraction of the total paper to be purchased, which is an even smaller fraction of the total high-risk credit in the US and global economy.
The Fed under these programs is essentially a price taker, not a price maker, even though the belief that the Fed is in there may be fueling the price of credit paper in the midst of frenzy. In the event of bankruptcy, the Fed will not be graciously renouncing its claims in favor of all other creditors. Nor will it be automatically rolling over all proceeds from credit paper together with interest in its portfolio into new paper from the same issuer.
Back to the laboratory of history: if we do hear an echo as the present episode of speculative frenzy in recession fades, it may well come from a big “credit event.” This would likely start in either the emerging markets (including China) or Europe (think of Italy). The edifice of the Mnuchin Treasury-Powell Fed credit market protection schemes would crack under the impact.


newswars--2020-06-18--Army Ready to Deploy Shape-Shifting Drones, Study Says

For the past 20 years , there ’ ve been advances in research in morphing aerial vehicles .
What makes the US Army ’ s studies different is its initial consideration of fluid-structure interaction during vehicle design and structural optimization , instead of designing a vehicle first and then seeing what the fluid-structure interaction behavior will be .
The US military is on the verge of deploying autonomous air vehicles capable of changing shape during flight , according to research presented by the Army ’ s Combat Capabilities Development Command ’ s Army Research Laboratory at the virtual AIAA Aviation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Researchers published findings of a two-year study in fluid-structure interaction , which produced a tool capable of rapidly optimizing Future Vertical Lift vehicles in different phases of flight .
“ Consider an [ Intelligence , Surveillance and Reconnaissance ] mission where the vehicle needs to get quickly to station , or dash , and then attempt to stay on station for as long as possible , or loiter .
During dash segments , short wings are desirable in order to go fast and be more maneuverable , but for loiter segments , long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low power , high endurance flight , ” said Dr. Francis Phillips , aerospace engineer at the laboratory .
Dr. Phillips explained that a key concern with morphing vehicles is striking a balance between sufficient bending stiffness and softness to enable to morphing – if a wing bends too much , then theoretical benefits of the morphing could be negated and also lead to control issues and instabilities .
To overcome such challenges , the team developed a process that decouples fluid and structural solvers , reducing computational cost for a single run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ultimately , this means the Army could design multi-functional Future Vertical Lift vehicles much more quickly than through the use of current techniques , he said .
“ This research will have a direct impact on the ability to generate vehicles for the future warfighter .
By reducing the computational cost for fluid-structure interaction analysis , structural optimization of future vertical lift vehicles can be accomplished in a much shorter time-frame , ” Phillips continued .
When implemented within an optimization framework and coupled with additive manufacturing , the Army will be able @ @ @ @ @ @ @ custom air vehicles for mission-specific uses .
In other words , weaponized , shape-shifting drones could be just around the corner .
While a potentially troubling development recalling dystopian science fiction , efforts to craft shape-shifting vehicles in the civilian space are also ongoing .
In 2016 , German manufacturer BMW Group unveiled a series of future concept vehicles , one of which was a shape-shifting autonomous car equipped with artificial intelligence .
The BMW Vision Next 100 was an attempt by the firm to predict what cars will look like in future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AI can use machine learning to predict a passenger ’ s behavior .
The concept vehicle featured 800 moving triangles , set into the instrument panel and fitted to the panels on the outside , a feature BMW dubbed Alive Geometry , which would allow the car to communicate with the rider .
For example , they could open up to reveal red undersides when hazards were present on the road ahead .

“ They [ the triangles ] involve the driver in a form of preconscious communication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imminent real-time event .
Although at present it remains difficult to imagine how hundreds of tiny triangles could be coordinated to make Alive Geometry work , in the years ahead it will be possible , as today ’ s standard vehicle manufacturing methods are replaced , ” the firm explained .

The US military is on the verge of deploying autonomous air vehicles capable of changing shape during flight, according to research presented by the Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory at the virtual AIAA Aviation Forum and Exposition event 16th June.
Researchers published findings of a two-year study in fluid-structure interaction, which produced a tool capable of rapidly optimizing Future Vertical Lift vehicles in different phases of flight.
“Consider an [Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] mission where the vehicle needs to get quickly to station, or dash, and then attempt to stay on station for as long as possible, or loiter. During dash segments, short wings are desirable in order to go fast and be more maneuverable, but for loiter segments, long wings are desirable in order to enable low power, high endurance flight,” said Dr. Francis Phillips, aerospace engineer at the laboratory.

Dr. Phillips explained that a key concern with morphing vehicles is striking a balance between sufficient bending stiffness and softness to enable to morphing – if a wing bends too much, then theoretical benefits of the morphing could be negated and also lead to control issues and instabilities.
To overcome such challenges, the team developed a process that decouples fluid and structural solvers, reducing computational cost for a single run by as much as 80 percent.
Ultimately, this means the Army could design multi-functional Future Vertical Lift vehicles much more quickly than through the use of current techniques, he said.
“This research will have a direct impact on the ability to generate vehicles for the future warfighter. By reducing the computational cost for fluid-structure interaction analysis, structural optimization of future vertical lift vehicles can be accomplished in a much shorter time-frame,” Phillips continued.
When implemented within an optimization framework and coupled with additive manufacturing, the Army will be able to use the tool to manufacture optimized custom air vehicles for mission-specific uses. In other words, weaponized, shape-shifting drones could be just around the corner.
While a potentially troubling development recalling dystopian science fiction, efforts to craft shape-shifting vehicles in the civilian space are also ongoing. In 2016, German manufacturer BMW Group unveiled a series of future concept vehicles, one of which was a shape-shifting autonomous car equipped with artificial intelligence.
The BMW Vision Next 100 was an attempt by the firm to predict what cars will look like in future, when driverless vehicles are commonplace and AI can use machine learning to predict a passenger’s behavior.

The concept vehicle featured 800 moving triangles, set into the instrument panel and fitted to the panels on the outside, a feature BMW dubbed Alive Geometry, which would allow the car to communicate with the rider. For example, they could open up to reveal red undersides when hazards were present on the road ahead. themselves on the road.
“They [the triangles] involve the driver in a form of preconscious communication, where an intuitive signal predicts an imminent real-time event. Although at present it remains difficult to imagine how hundreds of tiny triangles could be coordinated to make Alive Geometry work, in the years ahead it will be possible, as today’s standard vehicle manufacturing methods are replaced,” the firm explained.

“ Privilege is the ability to go march against , and protest against anything that triggers you , without worrying about calling out of work and the consequences that accompany such behavior .
“ Privilege is having as many children as you want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and be able to send them off to daycare or school you don ’ t pay for .
“ Privilege is sending your kids to school early for the before school programs and breakfast and then keeping them there for the after school program… all at no cost to you… paid for by the people who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS !
