Nobody was asking that they change their cups, or do something different than everybody else. But, their customers don't know or care about coffee quality, and if it was hot or not is all they really report on.Ĭups were changed later, for whatever other reasons. Coffee doesn't even taste better when brewed super-hot, it tastes worse. They simply did not care about the injuries that numerous people had suffered. They really did have scalding hot coffee that was hotter than what consumers would expect, because it was way hotter than every other chain, hotter than standard commercial coffee equipment heats it to when used according to manufacturer's specifications. Ahmed Mohamed said he built the timepiece at home over the weekend and brought it to Irving MacArthur High School in North Texas on Monday morning, hoping to impress his teacher. McDonalds stood their ground and refused to lower their coffee temperature to a safe level, or an industry-standard level. A 14-year-old Muslim student has been arrested after a homemade clock he brought to his US engineering class was mistaken for a bomb. No, guessing things that are easily looked up is not 'thinking. Now their cups are very rigid even with no lid. I thought that it was primarily because McDonald's served a hot beverage in a cup that easily collapses when you grab it, and the lid pops off. Even the Objectivist arch-capitalist and the purest of Marxist communists agree that each final system develops out of the consent of thinking people - they just have different ideas on what the choice of people acting in their interests ends up being. And if you go all, 'I know a better system of government than a democratic republic!' good luck enforcing it - because the two options are will-of-the-people and force. The party responsible is going to end up paying for the damage done.Ĭynic as I am, I won't deny when something is working right. So, who is ultimately responsible for this? The people. Working backward, the police/school answers to the government answers to the people. The government is responsible for the police force and the school system. Now, the government is elected by the people - really, it is! there might be a lot of lobbying going on, but ultimately it's democracy that determines whether corruptible people are elected or not. So, it's the people that will pay - all of them. The latter will generate wealth by investing that money (hopefully), and that means more tax is paid. SeptemA Muslim teen with dreams of becoming an engineer brought a clock he made to his Texas high school on Monday. Even if you've always been completely reliant 'on welfare' - a very unusual scenario, relative to the whole population - you're acting as a conduit for money into private hands. He brought in the clock to show his engineering teacher at the city of Irvings MacArthur High. But everyone who buys anything, let alone earns money, ends up contributing toward government coffers. Ahmed was arrested for having 'a hoax bomb' on Monday after bringing his homemade clock to school.

The principal suspended him for three days.I dislike the term 'taxpayer' - it implies that there are people who don't pay tax. He was sent to a juvenile detention center where he was fingerprinted, and then reunited with his parents. “The concern was, what was this thing built for? Do we take him into custody?”Īhmed was led out of the school at 3 p.m., his hands cuffed behind him. “It could reasonably be mistaken as a device if left in a bathroom or under a car,” he said.

“He said, ‘It looks like a movie bomb to me.’”Ī police spokesman, James McLellan, told the newspaper that while Ahmed never said the device he built was anything but a clock, officers suspect he wasn't telling them the whole story. “I told them no, I was trying to make a clock.” “They were like, ‘So you tried to make a bomb?’” Ahmed told the Morning News.

That’s who I thought it was.”Īhmed says he felt conscious of the color of his skin and his name. One who sat in the back, he says, said: “Yup. He was taken to another room where he found four other officers waiting. In the sixth period, the principal and a police officer pulled the 14-year-old out of class. “I told her, ‘It doesn’t look like a bomb to me.’” “She was like, it looks like a bomb,” he told the newspaper. Ahmed showed her the invention after class. “‘I would advise you not to show any other teachers.’”īut the clock’s alarm went off during English and his teacher complained. “He was like, ‘That’s really nice,’” Ahmed said. He showed it to his engineering teacher first thing Monday morning and didn’t get quite the reaction he’d hoped for. He said he threw it together in about 20 minutes before bedtime on Sunday: a circuit board and power supply wired to a digital display, all strapped inside a case with a tiger hologram on the front. Ahmed’s clock was hardly his most elaborate creation.
