Former top Obama economic adviser criticizes Biden

[Counselor706]

In November, Biden said there was "mounting evidence" that higher oil and gas prices may have been caused by "anti-consumer behavior by oil and gas companies." He then called on the Federal Trade Commission to launch an investigation into energy companies.

In December, White House press secretary Jen Psaki blamed skyrocketing meat prices on the "greed of meat conglomerates."

Lawrence Summers — who served as the Secretary of the Treasury under former President Bill Clinton and was the Director of the National Economic Council under Obama — warned the Biden administration, "Misdiagnosis of the problem around greed or around particular sectors raises the risk that ultimate recession will be necessary."

“Every time a Washington policymaker suggests that this is caused by corporate greed or some such, they are delaying the date at which we will achieve the credibility necessary to bring down inflation with stable employment," Summers said on Bloomberg Television's "Wall Street Week."

Summers'plainspokenness is refreshing, but it got him thrown out of Harvard, even though he was right.

Thrown out?

I was told that the Obama Administration was incompetent...so he's obviously wrong

Yep. He got on the Wokes' bad side for telling that charlatan Cornell West he'd better get about actually doing something for his cushy sinecure other than swanking about with radicals and cutting rap tracks. Then he had the audacity to suggest there might besome differences between men and women that lead to disparities in STEM fields.

Well, you can do a lot of things at Harvard, but one of them is ceertainly not musing on possible explanations for male/female disparities that haven't been approved by the Gender Studies Dept.

Cornell West:

Cornel Ronald West (born June 2, 1953) is an American philosopher, political activist, social critic, actor, and public intellectual.[10][11] The grandson of a Baptist minister, West focuses on the role of race, gender, and class in American society and the means by which people act and react to their "radical conditionedness". A socialist,[12][13] West draws intellectual contributions from multiple traditions, including Christianity, the Black church, Marxism, neopragmatism, and transcendentalism.[14][15][16][17] Among his most influential books are Race Matters (1994) and Democracy Matters (2004).

Not exactly a "Commie racist."

That was the final straw. It mattered not that his comments were backed by solid research.

"Feelings" are indeed trumping science these days.

Is there any "solid research" supporting any difference in intellectual capacities between men and women?

The fact that you fucking idiots make these dipshits relevant is hilarious.
