Good thing I majored in sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll!

If President Trump has these parasites, I will believe in the findings.

However, as a guy with a MBA for 40 years, I never met a cat loving MBA guy or gal.

On the other hand, After discussing this with my wife, many if not most successful women business owners/founders, my wife and I know or have known are cat people. They seem to prefer the unfriendly aloof cats who only need humans to feed them or to rub their bellies or backs.

Interesting that the control is Biology majors, not the population at large.

Even a conservative with a brain-eating parasite spread by cats is at a considerable advantage.

See, leftists simply can’t catch the parasitical organism. It requires a host with a brain.

Given the disproportionate number of third world students enrolled in American university level business programs, this certainly stands to reason. American and European students are pursuing degrees in useless degrees in sociology, socialmedia, and ethnic and gender studies.

So seeing third world diseases occur more often amongst a population with higher numbers of third world students should surprise no one.

That’s an interesting leap of ‘free association’. I’ll have to think about it.

And yet, oddly, and unlike their college peers (even those who got into school on their academic standings), they have their college loans paid off before they're out of their 20s. Thanks Eddie01.
