You are trying to talk to white people who do not feel privileged and there is no arguing with feelings. But everyone knows rich people get better treatment and most people are okay with that, because they admire rich people, up to a point. You want to sharpen that point.

Tell people they need to 'code switch', also an academic term? But any Southern liberalish person who still talks to their cousins could tell you how to do it.

It would be nice if a Republican Congressman actually knew what "duplicitous" means, although perhaps he was trying to accurately describe AI.

It is cheaper to cook at home, but I'm reminded of Linda Tirado's Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America and her descriptions of trying to feed kids and herself in motel rooms. If you've only got a microwave or you can't trust roommates to stay out of yr food, it's hard to cook at home.

I bet they're charging your library $42.50 for a 12 month ebook license. I wish we were paying those ebook prices.

Depends on your library, some give you more borrows.
