What She Proved Is That A Master's From Yale Does Not Equate To Intelligence

Here is a great story about someone actually doing something about the environment. This Yale grad student calculated her rent for the two years she will be working on her master’s degree. She then put the money towards building a new building, but a small one.

This is a true success story. Except that the building is extremely small and probably can’t be used for anything else.

And the fact that had she paid rent, she would have been living in an established building which would cause less environmental impact than building a new building, even a tiny one.

And the fact that she had to beg for building supplies, because the cost far outweighed the two years of rent she would have paid.

And the fact that she had to beg for labor to help build it.

And the fact that she had to beg for land to put the building on.

And the fact that she has to beg her neighbors every time she needs to use the bathroom, because this tiny building doesn’t have one.

So it all worked out, other than those things, and the fact that she had to rely on all these other people for her building, and the fact that those people have been doing exactly what it is that she seems to be trying to say you can do without.

Yeah, except for those things, this was a total success.
