Sarah even got the bastardization of Santayana's famous quote perfectly. I wouldnt expect Prof. Emily Oster to say it any other way: incorrectly, of course.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.
I don't follow Emily Oster, but I think you nailed her. Nice job.
And it's not really those who forget history who are doomed to repeat it. It's those who fail to *understand* history who are doomed to repeat it. "Pandemic amnesty" virtually guarantees that none of worst offenders will be forced to understand and reckon with history, meaning the damage their illogical, non-scientific, ego-driven dictates caused. That is why if the rest of us don't want to suffer the same thing over again, we will never let them forget it.
The h.s. cheerleader student council explanation made me want to gouge out my eyes and shove cotton in my ears. But thanks for adding new terminology to my vocabulary re: vocal fry. Suhhh Annuhhyinggg.

Just like things that like happened, riiight?
Dealing with so many unenlightened people while sucking up a $1000 a month in lattes must be so wearing. Very common among humanities professors.
LMAO!
