At What Point do we Get to Question their Patriotism?
That Q totally misses the point. Patriotism presupposes that we share a common set of values. But they and we do not agree on the basics. We are on different sides. They pursue their values vigorously (us, not so much).

I'm reminded of the story of a parent who got a note sent home with his kid, saying something to the effect of "we request that you send healthy food as your child's lunch" and a signature block. The parent wrote "request denied" and didn't sign it.
My kid's school has a peanut-free zone, but fortunately no lunch police...yet. One of the PTA drones did threaten to start something like that (she said it "wasn't fair" that some kids had certain things in their lunches), but I concern trolled her and said the negative publicity of the PTA policing lunches probably wasn't worth the effort.

Okay, I know the Baltimore situation been flogged to the point of ridiculous but...
Can somebody explain to me why there was such praise among the media and on-line (including here at this site) for the mother who was caught on video berating her teenage son for wearing the hoody as he was on his way to 'storm the castle'. She was surely not demonstrating good parenting skills and he sure wasn't responding to what she was saying. She cut loose with a string of F-bombs and other profanity as she was ineffectually smacking the kid who just glared at her and walked away. She told the reporter she was a single mom with six kids (five girls and the one boy). No mention of the father(s). It is our job as adults to prepare our children to become adults. I didn't get that sense from the video. I suppose she should get credit for trying to keep him away from the riot, but I have to wonder if a foundation of respect and decency has been instilled in this young man from an early age? And if not, why not? That is the nub of the problem, IMHO.
DISCLAIMER: I recognize that conclusions drawn from a short internet video can be wrong. Still, these are the questions that occurred to me.

On the NC thing.
I will say that, especially in the hard sciences, research can be near impossible with a 4/4 teaching load.
The problem is (and I've seen this before) is that if you build in exemptions they'll get abused to all hell.
I am familiar with someone who was a student in a small department that had mandated teaching loads. But various administrative roles could be substituted for teaching. So the shitty teachers jockied themselves to be administrators (namely program director) and ran the program into the ground via shitty admissions.
So if you do this wrong, (which the legislature will probably do, because they'll have to cater to the researchers who bring in that sweet sweet phrama money).
If you do it wrong, all you'll do is amplify the shitty administrator problem by making all the lazy fuckwads jockey for administration positions.

I was half-hoping she'd go through with the lunch thing. We pack good lunches for the kids because the school lunches are REALLY bad, but if that went through my kids would be enjoying Twinkies and sodas with their sandwiches.

My prediction: There will be several television news exposes, NPR stories, New Yorker, and Atlantic Mag. articles about presidential foundations, starting with Reagan, carrying through to Bush I and II. They will go through their finances with a fine tooth comb, and come up with any foreign donation, preferably from some ME oil state. Presto. Problem solved. They ALL do it, see?

A local charity around here got huge news kudos because it gave out lunches to kids during the summer to replace the school lunch program. Tons of lunches and only 2-3 people running the whole thing.
They bragged they were able to get the cost of lunch down to something fairly low ($1? I forget the number.)
I raised a lot of eyebrows when I said "wouldn't it be more useful to teach the parents how they managed to get costs down that low?"

What I like about the Baltimore mom in the yellow shirt, is regardless of the choices that brought her to the point where she's watching her teenager looting on tv, when she saw that, she hauled ass to pull her son out of it and tried to beat some sense into him.
She's obviously not a perfect parent, but what oarent is.
But at least she doesn't think her kid is a special snowflake. So I like her better than Mattress Girl's parents.

So, some good news (because we all need some) the House passed a preliminary vote (real vote will therefore be today or tomorrow, most likely) which will actually LOWER the state sales tax.
Here's to your money going further.

A friend says that one of the things they did to support military families was, once the (at that time) husband was out of basic, they taught the wife how to cook on the wage he was earning. Some of it involved "how to cook rice" and "how to cook oatmeal" and built on that.
Everyone looked down on home-ec, when I was a kid because your mom was supposed to teach that, and later, because it was demeaning to young women.
Now they can't cook, can't mend or iron and don't know it is possible.

"Oh, obviously we're not welcome here. We'll go keep the peace somewhere else."
Seriously, is there anyone who doesn't know what would happen the very first afternoon?
As for the "hungry school kids," don't even get me started.

True, but I could see him doing an "I have grown moderate" thing to dupe the LIVs. If he embraces socialism loudly and proudly, it'll be fun for the conservative to point out the fact that he votes with the Dems, caucuses with them, etc., and watch the Dems squirm trying to explain how they're not really socialists themselves.

Clearly some bad choices along the way were made, we're all human, that's kinda the thing we do.
But in that moment she said "oh, no, I'm not letting my son do this" and when down and did something about it (more than you can say for all the arrested minors.) I can respect her for that much.
And in the future if I have to go drag my daughter out of a riot zone, you bet your ass there will be profanity, and I'll be bringing her mother along to wail on her ass.

Yet both the Republicans and the Democrats permit this. It's a perfect example of the corruption of government by the corporate world. It seems minor - I mean, it's just sodey pop, right? - but it's very, very wrong.

Many said a mandated 4/4 course load -- four courses per semester -- would make it impossible to focus on their research and other responsibilities.
From the NC "Make Professors teach" article.
But here's the problem: unless I'm missing something, it didn't say anything about "a mandated 4/4 course load." It simply stated that they had to teach 8 courses per year.
So, they could front-load that with 5 courses in fall, and maybe one over the winter-mester. That's 6 of the 8. One in Spring, and one in one of the Summer semesters (most universities in TX, at least, have two Summer semesters each year), and Oversized Violin: they've got their 8 courses AND plenty of time for research. Heck. They could team up and do research together, and one professor could front load (as outlined above) and the other could back load (with only 1 course in Fall) and then the research could still go on all year!

Sometimes I get the feeling that Whole Foods is a clever right-winger's operation to troll the left and get them to grovellingly pay through the nose for the privilege.
Errr... that's pretty well exactly what it is.
The Founder is a vocal libertarian. He discovered that he could make more money bilking rich people for "organic" and "whole-grain" food than he could running a traditional grocery store.
He was also livid about BOHICA-care because it was going to screw up the very nice medical benefits he was already providing his employees at all levels.

Bean tacos. I practically grew up on the damned things, still make 'em a couple of times a month. Cheap but tasty eats. Canned refried beans, corn tortillas, some oil in the pan. Shredded cheese, tomatoes, salsa. Although I prefer it, I rarely use lettuce, because I'm usually cooking for one. Less hassle, waste.
Probably costs about $3-4 to feed a family of four.

No offense dude, but 5 courses a semester is a lot more work than it sounds like, especially if they're huge lecture courses.
On the low end, I'd assume 3 hours/week of work for every credit hour of course (plus the classroom time.)
Given a typical 3 credit course you're looking at 60 hours right there on the low end.
And biologists can't just put research on hold until the spring.
And many places won't let you teach a summer course just on a whim. They tend to have a set offering and if you don't fit that (say you're an molecular geneticist but they only teach zoology during the summer) you're pretty much hosed.
Listen, I'm all for overhauling the system, it's a mess. But this is a bad way to do it.
A few things could do (besides getting rid of tenure)
1) Require people to cover their salaries. This is already common in STEM, you get 5% hard money for your salary, and you make the rest up with grants, or you starve. Tenure or not. A similar system could be in place where you can "cover your salary" with teaching loads.
2) Recognize a distinction between "research faculty" and "teaching faculty." Make it formal. Make people who do both have dual appointments (rather than the mess it is now.)

Recognize a distinction between "research faculty" and "teaching faculty." Make it formal. Make people who do both have dual appointments (rather than the mess it is now.)

This was what I was about to suggest. They're called "professors" for a reason. They exist to teach, not to do research. If you want to be a big research university, fine...hire dedicated research faculty. People who consider teaching to be of secondary importance to their real job of conducting research should be calling themselves professors. My $0.02, for what it's worth.

Regulation has extinguished economic growth. When the bigger part of starting and running a business is complying with government regulation rather than producing a good or service, who wants to bother?

If you were picky, you went hungry.
As a result, the only thing I won't eat is brussels sprouts and beets
Heh. We had legendary fights over both but mainly brussels sprouts. Both my parents loved them, I hated them and still do.
They made me sit there until I ate them or it was time for bed. There were many nights those little green balls of death and I had hours long staring contests.

California is f'd up. There are hundreds of work related deaths every year in which some are found to have some OSHA violations but no willful intention. Sometimes employees fail to follow lock out procedures and safety rules. Unless this was intentional or a common violation, criminal charges are absurd.

(Screwed up Chicken helper? HA, try screwed up instant rice.)
To be fair, my wife's parents are awful, she learned very few life skills from them*. She only turned out as well as she did by sheer grit and luck I'm guessing.
*Somewhat ironically, because she spent so much time behaving like the parent in the house between what was effectively 2 people who didn't mature past teenage years, (or maybe even toddlerhood) she learned some good parenting skills that will come in handy in the future.

I'll take your word on it, but I've seen little evidence of that (re: prep-time). A TA for grading papers, re-use lesson plans across multiple years, (I happen to know this happens), and I'm willing to bet that prep time goes way down.
But if that's not reasonable, then rather than just screaming "that's not fair!" the professors need to say, "Look, that's just not going to work- how about we work together to find something that will?"
But, of course, no one in education (Universities or public schools) wants to do that, because then they couldn't complain about whatever plan was created.
We see that all the time here in TX. On the one hand, the Leg says, "We're looking at ways to fix school funding," or "We're looking at ways to fix testing requirements" or whatever. And the *only* thing the teacher's associations (like Unions, but without the clout) ever come up with is "MOAR MUNNY!"
Well, *that's* not going to fly, so the Legislature comes up with something else and the teachers throw a hissy-fit.
If they would accept the reality that the people of TX are not going to write them a blank check, they could go to their legislators with reasonable suggestions and *those* might go through. But then when that still turned out to be more work, or the real world inserted itself in some other way, they wouldn't be able to complain- because they'd be at least partly responsible for the setup.

LOL! I contend that most people hate sprouts because they had them boiled to death as kids. Have you ever had them shredded like slaw, roasted and tossed with a little bacon? As for beets, too many people only experience the canned beet. Fresh beets, roasted and tossed with garlic, oil and rice vinegar are like candy.

Tenure based more or less on research is the worst thing ever.
Big schools can handle it because they tend to use adjuncts to teach and pay for their research staff with grants/contracts.
But mid range schools do stupid shit. I used to joke that the biochem department at my alma mater was in trouble because all the researchers got tenure.
Many were all shit teachers, some of whom openly admitted hating being in the classroom, but being a midrange (but still Tier 1 research institution) there wasn't much of a budget for teaching faculty.
It was a fucking mess.
As I said above though, the idea NC has is OK, but the implementation will be fucked up and make things worse.

Mom cooked. Every night.

This. Well, my Mom said "If you don't like what I cook, you can cook something yourself." And sometimes we did.
But mostly you ate what Mom cooked, or you ate nothing.
And that's how my house works today. I will cook one meal. If I happen to know I'm cooking something that a) I love AND b) my kids absolutely won't appreciate, then I may crack open some canned pasta or something for them while my wife and I eat something actually good.
But for the most part- "This is what is for supper. You *will* eat enough that I'm satisfied you've eaten. No, you may not have something else."

The only way brussel sprouts can be half-way edible is to pick them after several frosts so the sugar is concentrated in the little cabbagey bits. Then you cut them so some of the bitter stuff can leach out. Then you cook them in SUGAR. Even that only makes them suitable for people who like bitter vegetables.

All other brussels sprouts tasted like fart to that point. "
While I'll grant you the possibility of issues w/the taste of said sprouts (I love'm BTW), I can honestly say I've no fart tasting experience...
Heh.
On that, I'm done. BBL.

Because if I can cook well, and I can, it can't be that hard
2) Cooking for your family is an act of love.
If you can't/won't cook for your family, you're a heavy duty narcissist-

Firstly, we're talking about universities here, Grade School and high school has it's own set of problems.
Secondly, I'm not sure I like a legislative solution to the college problem either.
Sure this probably only applies to state funded colleges, but still, in any given system there are wildly divergent school models.
Mizzou is way different from UMSL, different from UM-Rolla (or whatever they call it now.)
The 4/4 rule *might* be OK for UMSL (a largely commuter school with limited research.)
It'd be a minor inconvenience for Mizzou (a typical large state school with a medical and vet program.)
It'd be a fucking mess for Rolla which is an engineering school where you want your professors to spend shit tons of time either in the lab or working on contracts because a) that's how they stay current and b) that's how you get contacts to get a job.
And yes, I know prep plans get reused, I do it myself. But a good teacher is going to spend time giving feedback. So even for my 2 credit online course, I spent about 4 hours a week grading.
Now that can be reduced, and every course is different (maybe my math teacher spends less time tweaking the course since calc doesn't change.)
As I said, something needs to be fixed, it's miserably broken. I'm not sure this is the right approach.

My wife is a tenured professor/Department chair in NC. She busts her ass, works at home for a few hours before and after classroom/office hours, and her research has taken her halfway around the world (paid up front by us, with the hope of reimbursement months down the road) and she deals with all the BS politics and competition among her colleagues with a smile. Maybe half of her colleagues are cut from the same cloth. The other half are worse than useless. I'll have to ask her what she thinks about the linked article. But not until 7 pm, when she gets home from yet another tedious budget meeting.

I worked for a large company for 30 years. And during those 30 years we only had one fatality when an unsupervised contractor attempted to pain and exposed 20KV duct work. And yes, OSHA showed up the next day.
Companies that have a lot of "accidents" do so because they do not encourage a safety culture. They tolerate workers taking shortcuts and bypassing procedures.
A good example is another company located about 5 miles down the road from us. They average about 2 deaths a year.

For my part I at least know my place: I'll either teach or do some other service to a university (IRB, other research administration, etc.) Or I'll find external funding.
The bulk of the "studies" can't figure that out and expect the university to just fund their continued self-indulgence.

I said, "Are you not familiar with okra?" He replied in his perfect English, "Oh yes--we have okra, but we don't eat it. We make soap with it."

I'm a little surprised to hear that. The professors I had in college (and friends who got phd's after college and went back to teach) seemed to have very.... minimalist schedules.
1-3 classes per semester, maybe one assigned (graded) essay, everything else was done online (and graded online without input from the prof).
My favorite college professor taught one 3 credit hour class a semester. He was a department head in the business school. He used to brag to me about how he worked less than 3 hours a week, including commuting time.
Never had a single graded assignment or anything from him. He also didnt believe in lesson planning -- he'd just show up and talk about whatever was on his mind.
Reason I liked him so much is because he clearly did not give a fuck about his job or students or educating or anything else. I admire people who have zero fucks to give.

UNC would be severely crippled as a research institution... Time for class prep and the rest is not an easy thing to do. Then there's the shedding of the professorship because there isn't any plausible way to have that many courses available. My graduate program had 17 profs when I graduated. They're at 20 now. No way are they going to offer 80 classes unless they're reformulating intro statistics to satisfy requirements. Which would be an ugly thing because not all the professors speak English well enough for a newly minted college student to understand. (Trust me, I've had students complain about their TAs who speak nearly flawless English.)
Meanwhile all that time spent on courses is less time spent on research and advising and the other university management nonsense.
The problem with the universities is not that they're not dedicated enough to instruction and have too much time to waste to nonsense. The problem is we've enabled the nonsense by enshrining the university as a social organ.
Trust me, teaching mandates won't get rid of the crazy liberal stuff. Acolytes will just write less papers and books... The lib arts crazies will still find time to be crazy.

Here's an easy/good recipe for brussel sprouts that I stole from a restaurant:
Cut brussel sprouts in half, roast with olive oil, salt until tender
Cut up bacon, cut till almost crispy, toss in pine nuts(or chestnuts)
Toss in brussel sprouts
at last second tossing diced Granny Smith apples
stir to get them warm.
Serve.
the sweetness and acidity of GS apples is really nice with the brussel sprouts.

I don't know, he didn't seem to be atypical.
I'd usually see the professors at the bars before the students.
Maybe the school I went to was atypical though. Not a lot of researchin' going on there. Just fleecing rich kids who weren't smart enough to go to a "good" private college (I had a scholarship and was a transfer student, long story).
Really seemed like a great gig. But I remember talking to an adjunct professor -- she taught at 4 different colleges which were, uh, sort of close? but not really... had a horrific schedule and was working 80 hours a week and barely making enough money for the rent.
While the tenured professors were at happy hour at 4:30 every day, and rarely had a class before 10 am.

For roasted sprouts, peel and cut in half through the stem. Massage softened butter into the halves. Roast in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and add chopped pecans (with softened butter massaged into them. Mix with the sprouts and return to the oven until crispy tender, about 15-20 minutes more.
In a saucepan, add cream and 1 knob of roasted garlic mashed into a puree using some course salt and parmesan. Once thickened, add a little more parm to taste. Pour the sauce over the sprouts/pecans.

Eating them's not for me
I'd even rather eat broccoli
Broccoli is nothing more than a holder for cheese sauce.
Sorta like that wooden honey dipper. Only edible.

Okay, I'll type it in manually. Apparently there's some problem with copy/paste in the recipe. First, the ingredients:
1 sleeve graham crackers (I use cinnamon flavored, but any flavor should be fine)
6 tbsp of butter, melted (unsalted)
2 tbsp sugar
2-1/2 lbs (5 packages) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/8 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract (I use Mexican vanilla, but anything not fake will work)
2 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1/3 cup sour cream
6 eggs
2 egg yolks
And now the directions:
Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan (preferably non-stick) or line the bottom with foil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Finely crush sleeve of graham crackers
Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and 5-1/2 tbsp of the butter with a fork until crumbly (reserve remaining butter for springform pan)
Press the crumsb into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 13 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool while you prepare the filling.
Brush sides of the springform pan with remaining melted butter generously after the crust has cooled.
Turn oven up to 500 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese for about 2 minutes, to get out most of the big lumps, with the salt. Add the sugar in thirds, beating after each addition; scrap down the sides of the bowl. Beat for about one minute after each addition.
Add the sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix well.
Add the eggs two at a time, beating well after each addition, including the two extra yolks.
Pour into cooled crust and place springform pan on a lipped baking sheet in case there is spillover.
Bake at 500 degrees for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 degrees.
DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR!!!!.
Bake 90 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool for five minutes on wire rack.
Run knife gently around the outer edge of the cheesecake. This detaches it from the sides of the pan and helps prevent cracking as the cheesecake cools.
Allow to cool for 3 hours at room temperature.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Best served within 30 minutes after it comes out of the fridge.

All of us down at the Brattleboro Women's Reproductive hellth Clinic want to than Presdent amd Michell Oblama for rescueing the stalled economy from the Bush disaster. Today Senator Leahey told us the economy has never been better and that we still hyave a long way to go to put that idiot Bush behind us. Presdent Oblama should need another 8 years and he would fix everything so that evryone is equal in this county and persons of color will have the same opportunity as persons of no color. he said we are moving away from a Reagan Inequallity country to one more like a county in Europe or Africa where racism is almost none existant. Thank You Sir and we love you Presdent Obama.

"In the north east, we have about 4 dunkin donuts per square mile."
Dunkin Donuts culturally defines the Northeast.
A true Dunkin Donuts doesn't say "Boston Cream" anywhere. The entire bottom shelf is all Boston cream, unlabeled. That shelf is full in the morning and bare by noon.
Best convenience coffee around, too - with the possible exception of Stewart's.

Historically the political parties have not allowed any single State in by itself if it tilts more toward one party. PR would be a guaranteed Democrat State. The problem is there is no other territory that would be guaranteed Republican.

For Obama to suggest he's treated badly is not only narcissism on his part but ignorance, because the article about what was said about various Presidents contained a lot of brutal quotes. He should escape simply because he's an historic first. No, he should be treated as any other President.

Some vegetables give off a sulphurous odor when cooked like cauliflower, some cabbage, turnips, and brussel sprouts.
I can eat cabbage, turnips, and cauliflower raw all day long and enjoy it. The mere memory of the snot-like fart-smelling sprouts I ate once make me nauseous nearly 45 years later.
They "can" be so awful that even if they were to be cooked up to taste as delightful as bacon wrapped venison puffs, they would still make me gag to even smell. Forever ruined, forever a plate of snot-green slime smelling of rancid hot septic tanks.

That Baltimore councilman who said "n*ggers" twice to Erin Burnett on CNN, if you listen to the dialog, was calling out Ms Mayor and Obama for calling the rioters thugs.
He was disagreeing with the use of the word "thug" and saying that it was inappropriate to call the poor children any derogatory name. He dissed the name calling, saying why not just call them n*ggers. As if it is just as bad.
More "street," in other words.
But the children.
I enjoy hearing these types always referring to Trayvon, Michael Brown, and all the others as "children." It's their go-to phrase. It is "it takes a village" in the urban ghettos.

From the FireHorse Guide to the Northeast 2015 --
Stewart's has gas and decent coffee. DO NOT EVER eat any prepared food from Stewart's. It doesn't matter how hungry you think you are. You can always feel worse.
Dunkin Donuts has good eats if you don't mind waiting a long time for something that's not exactly what you ordered.
You can't go wrong in a German restaurant in Pennsylvania.
Try a Genesee Cream Ale.

They bought the site for a local landmark donut bakery and preserved the signage, the recipes, all of it. So you can get fresh cannoli donuts the size of a cake.

But the guy who was droppin n bombs said to the white anchorette, "would you call your kid a thug if he did thinks you didnt expect" or something and she said "uh yeah, I'd hope I would."
Silly.
But what word should we use to describe whilin' yutes? Or is the position of the "black community" that these whilin' yutes represent all black children and that their behavior is not abnormal?

School lunches + Baltimore news. Apparently Chik-fil-A and Five Guys were nice and passed out food to the national guard patrolling the streets yesterday. Got castigated, absolutely slammed for it, by the SJW thugs. Because kids that normally get school lunch could not go to school so they missed out on the free lunch. The basic memo was pigs eat while children starve! Will no one think of the children!! I think local churches helped feed the kids in the meantime whose parents couldn't feed them.
How about no rioting, then the kids can go to school in safety? How about National Guard is there to protect the kids too? Ugh the stupid.

The may have found that Bumblebee did not sufficiently train the dead worker on the necessity of and how to keep the oven off line while they were inside. They may have thought they were only going to be a few minutes and no one else was around (which is when this sort of thing occurs) when they went in.
Training in and requiring the use of lock out safety systems is the responsibility of the employer. The other workers apparently bypassed or didn't double check the vessel before loading and activating it.
Maybe the worker went in there to hide while catching some zzzz's. It's been known to happen like that on other types of industrial accidents.
Someone or more were not doing what they were supposed to do.
Since the worker is dead, their penalty is final.
Stupidity or laziness will get you killed. Or a trip to jail.

DD coffee is practically a birthright to MA residents and they will find a way.
When I was a boy and would ride with Father Poppins, we would always stop at a DD just over the border in Salem NH. It had an actual short-order diner as part of it, so you could either go in, order your coffee and donut and leave, or sit at the counter and have a full breakfast. I never saw another one like it.
So it amuses me when I see DD today offering all sorts of breakfast sandwiches cooked in a microwave, and I think, "You were doing breakfast 40 years ago! Why didn't you just keep it that way?"

According to gcaptain-dot-com the Iranians claim they are holding Maersk Tigris over a cargo dispute. The website reports that the Iranians claim that the ship did not deliver a cargo to an Iranian company ten years ago and that a court had decided in the Iranian company's favor.* The article states that Maersk says it does not own the ship, Rickmers Ship Management does and Maersk only leases it.
So this is a little more complex than originally reported.

And he thanked her, and said that he loved her.

Of course it is. But that's my response to people who say they won't eat. Why aren't their parents in jail then?
The sad thing is, there ARE parents who can't even be bothered but they are probably on drugs or just lazy and no one is going to take the kids away even though they probably should. But then they'd be in foster care and who knows if that would be better. It's certainly not a matter of money, though.

I've mentioned this before, but...had a Lefty friend who taught kindergarten in a poor section of Denver (she chose to - wanted to help the less fortunate). The school provided free breakfast. Most parents couldn't be bothered to bring the kids in before class in order to receive free breakfast. Heck, most parents couldn't be bothered to change their kids out of pjs before dropping them off. And no, they weren't getting breakfast at home. It's like if you give something away for free it's treated as if it's worth nothing.

Late entry re professorial teaching loads: teaching load should depend critically on the nature of the institution. At a glorified high school, sure; a couple of courses per semester is fair enough. At a major league research university, it's unreasonable, especially for disciplines that focus on research (STEM in particular, not so much English) and that as a consequence bring in most of the operating funds for the university (through overheads on grants and research contracts with corporations; again STEM in particular, not so much English).
People need to realize that in major research universities faculty in STEM subjects are not like high school teachers. They're essentially hired to do research, and secondarily have to teach some and do administrative work. Most of them work their asses off. For example, when I was active in research, I worked seven days a week, and averaged 70 hours a week - and only taught one course at a time.

Keep in mind also that GDP is about 3.5% higher than it would have been reported prior to the fall of 2013 because they changed how GDP is measured in some pretty dodgy ways (counting RD spending as a direct contributor to GDP, for instance, rather than an intermediate factor of production as it had always been counted).
So that GDP figure should be a little worse than -3% if they were honestly reporting.

"North Carolina Legislature Is Considering Making Professors Actually Work For A Living"
This NC bill is absolutely insane.
1. There's nothing smart about having the government layer universities with even more arbitrary regulations.
2. The work load involved with teaching a course varies wildly across subjects and across undergrad/grad curriculum. For example a single 3 credit grad physics class with 10 students will be a much greater workload than a 4 credit freshmen physics course with 50 students. This of course says nothing about the relative workload of teaching 1 humanities course vs 1 engineering course vs etc.
3. Professors are expected to spend a huge amount of time on research. This is a fact of the modern major university, and if you don't understand it then you aren't in the place to be saying a damn thing on this issue.

"I'm Not Sure Why The Company Is Being Fined If The Employees Are Being Charged With Criminal Willful Violations"
It's such a horrific event they are going after every possible charge. It is possible that the employees could be found criminally negligent and the company fined for safety violations simply because two sets of considerations are in play. There does not need to be in injury to levy a fine for unsafe working conditions. The employees wouldn't be off the hook for their actions necessarily. The employees could raise a defense that the company is really the responsible one, etc, but for now, everything is being thrown at the wall.
