1. You'd think he would want to study it up close.

2. If anything it's "fascism lite" and it's only for 4 years.

3. I'm not sure that forcing some belt tightening on a bloated academia is the worst thing in the world.

The sharks are circling and by "sharks" I mean the same people who lobby the government for link taxes and publish puff pieces on politicians who go after their business rivals.

It's no different than that and it's not deceptive least of which because it happens inside the Google search app.
