Typo
Substitute “ people hardly talk “ for “ people hardly anybody talk “!
And the Carbon filament was almost immediately abandoned in favor of Tungsten
Do a Google search of “American inventors” and then tell me that Google isn’t evil.
“Hell he screwed Tesla bad and even resorted to dirty tactics, “
How?
Tesla dies poor and insane, like most Serbs.
When I was in grade school Carver was featured as the “man who found a thousand uses for the peanut.” That was the first effort to find a semblance of equivalent genius between the races. Now it’s “the black man invented every damn thing.”
