Yale Grad Students Stage 'Virtual' Hunger Strike

[Geee]

Just how fatuous are Ivy-League graduate students? Nobody really knows. But this is nice: Yale graduate students, members of the Local 33 student union (yes, really), have begun "an indefinite, collective fast in front of University President Peter Salovey’s home."

"What are they complaining about?", well might you ask.

Let's leave aside the preposterous fact that graduate students are members of a labor union. There is also the supreme silliness that these aging snowflakes already get free tuition, free health care, and a $30,000 stipend.
Feel badly for them? It gets better. That "collective fast" they're embarked upon has been described as a "hunger strike." In reality, though, it's only a virtual or symbolic hunger strike. That is, the students stand around in front of President Salovey's house whining, holding signs, and feeling sorry for  themselves only until they feel hungry.

Then they go eat.

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

Students at Yale are on a hunger strike.  Except when they’re not.

This is the epitome of Liberalism in action: claiming the intention is as good as the deed and deserves just as much credit.

Sort of like the Senate "holding" a Filibuster.  Let's just pretend we did so we don't have to really work that hard.

It Is Coming. The Only Question Is Who Will Reduce The Budget....*The Dead Hand of the Market. Or Congress And the Administration?

 

* Trends That Cannot Continue...Won't.
