Lewis Latimer, the black inventor Biden’s presumably referring to, is credited with creating an improved filament — as well as successfully testifying that Edison’s patents on the first practical lightbulbs were correctly granted.
Why should a Credit Card hustling Irish Delaware Senator whose patron corporate pals were Delaware Corporations who controlled legislation to charge usurious interest rates for credit cards— essentially the modern form of monetary slavery run by mobsters and their banks— acknowledge the FACT of White indentured servitude as the FIRST real slavery in the American Colonies (and in the British Caribbean).
Biden supported every one of these Clip credit card hustling pimps—and whose nickname was and is “The Senator from MBNA” (Capital One— “who’s in your wallet.... Whyyyyy it’s Joey “Bags” Biden and his crackhead dishonorable discharged fake naval officer son, Hunter (who is still doing drugs, just not his dead brother’s wife anymore). Now he has a fake non-American Hindu/Black Jamaican political whore artist and Ultra-Leftist Cannabis Inc— the well plough Karamella as his REAL candidate (the intended next President who could not win a race in her own primary).
The Russians even claimed that they invented baseball!
Yes— the man who employed Nicola Tesla, whom Edison got rid of. Yes, Edison was not terribly ethical. Methodical, dogged and ran a science sweat shop-— but not ethical. Tesla was a true genius. Edison went so far as to push Direct Current for electrical grid, and demonstrated how dangerous Alternating Current (Westinghouse’s grid) was by filming an electrocution execution. Yes... he did that.
If we had DC as electricity there would be a tranformer about every 4-500 feet (everywhere). Mark Twain was a close friend of Nicola Tesla— he recognized genius.
Yeah I know all this.
Read Empire of Light
Yep !
Read Empire of Light
Note Current War movie does a decent job of portraying it.
I am a huge fan of Westinghouse. Truly an unsung American hero !
Most do no know that Bill Gates did not invent the operating system that became the first Microsoft platform. The man who invented the Personal Computer, and developed this system (called BASIC) distributed this system under a licensing agreement with his company, MITS, paid by Bill Gates and Paul Allen for each package—only they didn’t. He gave them their first real job writing code, and their takeaway was the BASIC system he invented and they were paid to assist writing the code- they did not invent it. Nor did they in any way pay Ed Roberts the money he should have been paid from the licensing. Just the same way they ran their business, too. Chiselers.
He was a genius. His name was Ed Roberts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Roberts_(computer_engineer)
Call and response field hand shouts and rhymes (like Leadbelly sang) developed into this horrific shite crapola moronic nothing, killing music. Self destructive to what “community” they have— with all the dope the industry has as financial support. Degrading.
I read a book of stories about the turn of the 20th century inventors, Glen Beck put it out with different writers, and they were a bunch of cutthroats.
Some guys understood Maxwells theory of hysteresis
A far cry from the Edison wire, what a POS! that he gleaned from Maxwell
The man is a certifiable idiot.
Specifically directed at the soon to be out of work coal mining industry-— telling them they can learn to “write computer code”.... really? No, JOEY Bags— YOU pushed the H1-B visas— so half of china and india come into this country to push out any American who needs this job. This is fact.
So instead- it’s stupid radio ads for “IT professionals learning at home” to get Federal dollars for the stupid retraining schools, for jobs, that, thanks to you Joey Bags— do not exist under the preferential subsidized H1B Visa system and pay to play imported employment. The DEMOCRAT way— Tammany of the Tech World.
“Joe is an idiot but Edison was a notorious rip off artist”
Edison was one of the most prolific and brilliant inventors in history with over 1000 patents. His inventions literally changed the world. Of his major inventions which do you claim are “ripped off”? Compared to Edison, Tesla was a nobody. He was a one trick pony whose most important invention dealt with electrical transmission. Edison made important discoveries in a broad range of fields. Despite this many leftists like to bash Edison because he was a successful businessman and capitalist.

A Black Man First set foot on the Moon.
How many demented Democrats does it take to change the light bulb?
Ah yes, the black light...
The Soviet Union had the biggest dwarf in the world.
