"Just Say No To Fairness" Says Herr D

 

"Facultative Diapause Lecture" by Herr D on heromachine.com. Herr D lectured a bit on fairness today.-Shelob

 Two things have come up today that remind me of another 'Princess Bride' quote. "Where is THAT written?" Grampa, played by Peter Falk, on the subject of life being fair.

Locally, our highly self-praised school system has an app out where parents can track their kids' buses, knowing when they're late. There's nothing quite like receiving a text message informing you your kid's bus will be late two hours after it came on time. We can go on the Domino's pizza app and know where our pizza is from oven to front door. Why is it fair that our school system can't do as well as a pizza chain? It's fair because our school system is foolish enough to buy the accredited best and most expensive instead of the most competent. It's characteristic of our school system.

On the news, there was an op-ed declaring Biden is being treated badly by the media. NO, the media should NOT be a whole lot kinder to Biden than they were to Trump. That's the historian's job. Everybody knows that Biden is a PRESIDENT, and Trump was an unfortunate result of an election. We should ALWAYS expect more out of him. It's a little like a parent punishing the honor student for a 'C' as much as they punish the delinquent for an 'F.'
