It revolves around Sandra Blands suicide but he takes the long route to explain the cop that pulled her over was a symptom of the systemic failure of our law enforcement agency to adhere to society's need for default to truth and recognition of our lack of ability to interpret transparency in diverse peoples. Gonna update this sometime this week but I mostly just read technical bullshit ud hate and powerlifting manuals |

yeah my mom sent me that book the malcolm gladwell one that was about even if you seem too have been put at a disadvantage (me being from the hood and having a felony background) that that you can do better. It was that thing about david and goliath but actually david had the upper hand he was like a sniper with the sling shot. And some other stuff. Last malcolm gladwell thing I listened to was a podcast on his and it was debating how mcdonalds fries were better because of the oil used and stuff than to this day. Haha... but all good to me, I only take him with a grain of salt but he poses some intesting points... and I need to read more.

37. EliteFTS Bench Press Manual by Dave Tate (4/5)
Explain it to me. 1. Management Book for Management Class (2/7) -POLC! Those are the things you do, 2. Marketing Book for Marketing Class (1/7) -My personal theory. The more times a book mentions its subject, the more likely that subject is objective dogshit. You could not imagine the number of times a marketing book says the word marketing. 3. Stats Book for Stats Class (5/7) -Knew all of this shit but it's good. 4. HR MGMT for the HR MGMT Class (0/7) -Into the toilet it went 5. Raylan by Elmore Leonard (6/7 so far) -I like it. Hopefully I can read one book a week, then I will be a smart book man.
