2/ In her dissent, Ruth Bader Ginsburg said they had built a strong umbrella in 1965 but now we’re poking holes in it. She predicted it would start to rain again. And she was right, of course...

As opposed to a free world class education starting in preschool and going through either a 4 yr college or best technical school in the world, plus free healthcare. Then people are set up to win as long as they’re willing to work hard.
