You made a serious error in your editorial about social change and governmental impacts on Del Norte. Your editorial begins claiming that President Eisenhower warned about “A new social/industrial complex”. That is false. What he really said on January 17, 1961, in this farewell address, warned against the establishment of a “military-industrial complex.” With a false premise it was hard to accept anything that followed.Michael A Sommer II, PH.D.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Smith RiverActually, Dr. Sommer, the editorial was attempting to draw similarities between Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial Complex, and what may well become Governor Newsom’s Social-Industrial complex, where well-connected big business and big government enjoy all the taxpayer money they can get their hands on. It won’t be small owner-operator business that design, build, manage and own these future homeless villages.- Dan Schmidt googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
