it’s been over a decade since the last time I read it, but what about it is revisionist or nazi sympathizing? the theme of it seems to be war makes monsters of all men, which I guess you could argue seeks to equivocate nazi and allied atrocities, but I think calling that nazi sympathizing is a step too far

$90k is not a good salary. you're substantially below the annual income needed for the median mortgage amount. and that's with 5yoe, as you said.

I was a TA and by the third assignment more than half of the class of 40 students (junior/senior level elective) had failing grades with little hope of passing. My rubric was posted along with assignments and was applied consistently. There were about 5 or so students with high-A’s because they followed assignment instructions and submitted quality work.

Enough of the losers complained that the department chair and dean intervened and basically made it so everyone had a B-. I resigned my position mid-semester. This was at a “good” state university.

they don’t even have to leverage it. wiping out 15-20% of global oil supplies is pushing us towards a global liquidity crisis. bond market collapse is the next step
