FEEL LIKE PURGING?
By Sue Pascoe · May 19, 2026
If you feel like you need a good vomit, go to the online social media platform, that is supposedly run by and for neighbors and watch the attacks and claws come out. The site is filled with opinions masquerading as truth– and it appears that there is no fact checking. But what would one expect where everyone, most who profess to be an expert or have secret knowledge about the election, are allowed to comment based entirely because they have an address (and is this fair to homeless people?). And how do we know that the person pushing one candidate over another is not paid by them, friends with them or sleeping with them?
MASTER’S DEGREE WORTH THE MONEY?
The Wall Street Journal in a May 19 article (“Master’s Degrees Are Losing their Value”) stated “Now master’s degrees holders under 35 are in the 77th percentile of unemployment, where the 50th percentile is normal, according to the Burning Glass analysis.” Basically, as more people go back to school for a degree, the market has become proliferated with those that have their master’s and the degree loses value when so many people have one. “Gad Levanon, chief economist of the Burning Glass said about the degree, “It’s hardly a sure bet to securing a good job.” Many Palisadians might agree that plumbing and electrical jobs are a sure bet.
NEW TAKE FROM RAMAN:
In an interview with left-wing commentator Hasan Piker, L.A. Councilmember Nithya Raman agreed that Israel and committed “genocide” in its bombing of Gaza, and she also did not dispute that Piker’s characterization that Israel was an “apartheid” state. Let’s hope that the Councilmember was only pacifying Piker and doesn’t really believe that.
