In the 1880’d The US army came and cleared out all of the Native Ute people so that white people could develop our valley.

Now homeless camps are cleared out by the police to build expensive apartments that the previous campers can not afford. There is no housing for homeless people being built. Different century similar issue. Undesirable vulnerable s removed so that more entitled can gain.

Addam’s Family Thanksgiving play is one of my all time movie scenes. Today my little town on the West Slope woke up to a bunch of tags , “Stole Land Give it back”, variations. Tagged items include another county’s sheriff’s truck (deputy has to live 40 miles away from his job because it’s too expensive to live close by), a town police car, the back of the jail, and town Welcome sign.

So Brad, will UC[Berkeley] realize that the hybrid world is happening and largely abandon live lectures in favor of video presentations, reserving live interactions in person or via teleconference? Or will it try to hold back the rising tide of change and demand live lectures to return to teaching as it has been from time immemorial?

[As an aside, is the UC system covered by the no-liability law put in place by Trump and the GOP for companies operating during the pandemic? If not, when will the first death of a faculty member result in a lawsuit due to the UC campus insisting on live lectures as the default during the ongoing pandemic?]
