Keep the existing trophies for the winners; force the losers to deal with this. Leave it in the middle of their campus’ busiest intersection, or something.

They're fine, just not in the context of "raising billionaires' taxes is dumb, do this instead." Incentives can work (tho' they often don't) — but a guy who brags about how responsible he is for paying his taxes at the same marginal rate as someone with < 1 / 6,000th his income has missed the point.

Incentives are a ruse. The trick to harnessing capitalism for your society is to make sure you create 500 multimillionaires — or 1,000 millionaires — at least as often as you create a billionaire.

The difference between a Waffle House and a Michelin-starred restaurant has as much or more to do with the maître d'hôtel as it does the food.

When my kids would complain, I used to tell them it was a good thing life was unfair or else we’d all get what we really deserve. I think they thought I was just being glib, but I wasn’t.

James A. Lovell Jr., Commander of Apollo 13, Is Dead at 97

It's easy to understand a "Culture and Nostalgia Reporter" not knowing who Jerry Garcia was, and I guess just assuming that Cherry must be one of the several flavors of Garcia. (link: is.gd/Vkom3P)
