Well, howdy there, Internet People, Lidsboo again. So today we're going to talk about

Ted Cruz and Workers and Education and Baristas. I know I'm late on this. I know that everybody's kind of already

talked about this but I feel like I'm slow on this one because I couldn't figure out which part of that

statement to really talk about because it's rare that you have that much wrong in such a short statement.

Everybody's talking about the whole slacker barista part of it,

and I get that, I understand that, and we're going to talk about that. But there were some other

parts to it. The whole premise of the statement, the reason it was said was

because there's a risk that those people might vote.

Wow, talk about saying the quiet part aloud, right? You don't want the commoners to vote. You don't want the

workers to help to have a voice in anything.

And he goes on to say and describe the slacker barista as somebody who spent years studying completely useless things.

If I had one question that I could ask Senator Cruz.

It would be, like for a detailed list of what education is useless.

I don't think that's a good statement for a US senator to be putting out to a country with failing education.

That seems pretty self-defeating unless the goal is to depress the desire for education, to keep those commoners in their place so

they don't pose a risk.

And then there's the slacker barista part.

And it's just typical, you know, kicking down at the working class.

And there's a reason that we say barista rather than somebody who works in a coffee shop.

See if you said it like that, people like me who don't have a Starbucks within like 45 miles,

we're suddenly thinking of the people that we talk to at the Waffle House

or at the mom and pop diner.
