Tucker Carlson is an imbecile.

He just actually said "Bill Gates would never have founded Microsoft had he had tenure."

Gates was a college drop-out, not an instructor.

"The Soviet Union never produced anything worth having because, essentially everyone had tenure."

Right. Stalin tried to fire people, but darn that tenure system!

He's arguing with Max Kellerman. Oh, for a hand grenade...
