Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


College adjunct professors crushed by Obamacare.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    I know Dr. Para Jones, President of Stark State. She was my boss for a couple of years. She cut administrators and was supportive of faculty. She would not restrict adjuncts in this manner if it weren’t necessary. As a result of Obamacare, tuition will rise and class sizes get larger. Adjunct faculty don’t make much money anyway. It will be a real hardship for some of them to lose this income. Our college recently had an adjunct back out of a course at the last minute due to the extension of unemployment benefits.

    Its sort of apropos.

    His greatest supporters are some of the first to fall under his chopping block of good intentions.

    I wouldn’t worry much about them. He will just change the law to make full time anything over 20 hours. And then 10 hours and then just plane hired.

    “Laws can always be fixed later. The important thing is to get the general law passed as fast as possible and worry about the details later.”
    Quote from chapter 4 of the new progressives hand book, “Governing the masses”

  • “It’s already become painfully obvious that the law’s creators failed to think through its full implications.”

    Huh. I seem to recall that many, many people pointed put ‘the full implications’ months prior to March 2010.

    Yeah, we told you so.
