Again, that's the thinking of an under-educated right winger. Yes, it
exists as a major. No, it's not particularly popular. At least two dozen
other majors are more popular. You can look this up.

And my suspicion is that its popularity will drop once it no longer gets
a lot of attention by right wingers stating their horror at its existence.

BTW, many colleges offer courses in Logic, in Critical Thinking, and
similar topics. And many colleges allow senior citizens to audit courses
very inexpensively. A person can take steps to improve their thinking
skills.

(Admittedly, I don't know if Florida colleges are allowed to offer such
courses!)

I didn't say it was the most popular, but it is a popular course of
study... for fruitcakes... many of them will be wondering why they
can't find a job, while some won't even bother to look for a job.
They'll become parasites or maybe leftist organizations will pay them
carry signs and lie down in the streets.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the number
of women's and gender studies degrees in the United States has
increased by more than 300% since 1990, and in 2015, there were more
than 2,000 degrees conferred.

These days, women's studies programs include gender and sexuality
studies, and many of the programs explore and question the
relationship of race, class, sexuality, ethnicity and more to
encourage students to investigate in the broader field of gender.

<EYEROLL> Oh, I see, it's the right winger's fault. That's a fine
example of narcissistic blame shifting. Krygowski is a pro at shifting
blame, like when he blamed me for making him attempt to insult and
berate me.

It seems that his behavior towards me has backfired and now he's more
likely to run and hide from me, but every now and then he'll stick his
head up out of his pathetic little narcissist world and take a shot at
me. I'm more then self-secure enough to fend off his shots and send
him back into hiding.

You could give it a try. Perhaps a course on Logic or Critical
Thinking might do you some good, but frankly, I believe you're too far
into narcissist lalaland for that, given your post below.

Actually, this may be one of the more truthful statements we've heard
from kunich.

There are pretty much only two situations were one can claim 0 income
tax liability:
- large investment losses and/or significant qualifying interest deductions
- income below the filing level

I'm sure we're all aware which of those categories tommy falls into.
Given tommy's penchant for bragging(lying) about is investment income,
it certainly isn't the former situation.

It doesn't matter what you state - Frank sees things through his own twisted lens. I w3ant you to imagine someone like Frank teaching "Critical Thinking" which in itself is as stupid as women's studies.

Flunky is as stupid as Frank. In income tax season Frank want to change the subject from income taxes to sales and property taxes because that suits his lies. Flunky who knows nothing about investing, tells us that because I paid no income taxes, that I don't have any money.Unlike him, I do not live under a mortgage and because of my past income I make a LOT of money off of social security and have minimized my income from my investments so that I comfortably stay below the income tax level and pay no income taxes.

If Tom bought anything, he paid sales tax. I imagine he paid real estate
tax. He drove a car, so he paid gas tax... etc.

If his only taxable income is from his and his wife's Social Security,
then it's possible that he pays no income taxes based on the standard
deduction for taxpayers filing jointly, $27,700.

The first $32,000 of Social Security benefits are not taxable, presuming
you have no other income.

He can also deduct $3000 of losses from investments, and based on his
rantings here, he may be the only person that lost money during the
Biden stock market boom.

I can actually bring home a LOT more money than I do since $200,000 of my investments are in IRA and Roth IRA. But as I, of necessity, have to draw down those accounts at a given rate, I simply put that into standard investments. Since Trump is a shoo-in the market is looking up. The same way that when it became clear that Obama was going to be elected, that the Great Recession started - you know, that huge business loss that ignorant fool of a Flunky believes needs to actually have a President in office to blame. otherwise you blame the outgoing President. The man who has nothing plus Krygowski plus Liebermann want to tell YOU how the markets work. Investor confidence indeed,.
