"Oh, just not THESE #STEM workers."

From a friend's Twitter feed. I guess those were the wrong kind of STEM jobs.

(That #STEMsaveslives events was livestreamed here. I find it terribly, horribly, absolutely ironic that it's the CEO of Lilly, the company that's been laying off chemists and then rehiring them as lower-paid contractors, that's telling us about the STEM crisis in the US.)

    Its as if there are big-pharma-paid plants to watch Twitter feeds an tweet misinformation to keep MOAR STEM happening. Comissar Jacobs may have a hand in this. If big-Phrams can buy our (US) government legislators to vote what benefits them, why not this?

    That's an awfully cute rubber duckie. When you squeeze it do you get more suds?
