Yes, completely, in that you have apparently not listened to what Reich was saying. A pregnant gap in your posts declaring me stupid, etc., was any correction. By all means, identify where I have missed, and and provide the correction.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

42 can be accused of several offences. Torturing the English language is not one of them. He expresses his gobbledegook very well as far as grammar syntax and vocabulary are concerned.
I express my difficult to understand circumlocution and obscure jargon very well? Why thank you! :yes:
I used gobbledegook as a synonym for rubbish - easy to understand and dismiss as such.

It isn't the increase in taxes that increases the productivity, but the better training and education.

Education is fundamental to everything. Good education with equal opportunities that is. No private school system only open to those that can afford it.

I'm not even sure that education can influence conservatives.
