And that's ok. If the Professorships have value to anyone they'll get paid. If some positions are being removed then maybe they just weren't that useful.

The cream of the crop will still rise to the top, so it's simply a case of the bar for Professorship is rising. Which is a good thing.

I find the media, here and in the UK, have become more accepting of racism. Encouraging it. Against blacks and mexicans and muslims here, and against polish and refugees there. This creates an aura of conformity as viewers and readers nod
