  1. I love hearing some of these justices arguing that states don't have the authority to determine who committed an insurrection per section 3, and at the same time arguing/bitching why it's their job to determine if section 3 applies?
  2. Sorry, I should have said he was speaking about Texas specifically. And also forgot to add another reason is State/Federal pass unfunded mandates that schools have to follow that increase costs (Title 9, 4, 3)
  3. I'm not saying it's an awesome situation. It sucks for the non-rich. That's been apparent for a while. The hoi polloi need to not only demand change, but make choices that force change. So in a way it's blaming the consumer, but I like to think it's more telling the consumer to stop accepting the shit sandwhich and force change. Stop being passive and start being active.
  4. I talked to guy in Higher Ed He said Deregulation in 2003 pushed costs from State to student Easy Student loan money means unlimited source of funds Research Professors saying they need new clean labs and shit they don't need to work there Students demanding new shit like climbing walls, swimming centers, taking classes on phones (ie Consumerism) A giant bowl of shit
  5. That's not really true. you can refuse to tip counter service You can negotiate a price to sell a home You can fly allegiant or spirit Yes, you can refuse to attend that concert if it's too expensive Choosing not to go is a choice, a powerful one. A concert isn't bread, it's not like refusing to go will kill you.
  6. It’s not the sole cause but it’s a big one. What history or data are you referring to? Also outdated buildings? only in America are 30 year old buildings outdated.
  7. That’s definitely a factor. The Bennet Hypothesis has been around a while and there’s tons of studies showing likely correlation between easy money and tuition increases. https://www.jamesgmartin.center/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Bennett_Hypothesis_Paper_Final-1.pdf But to your point, these loan have been around since 1965. I don’t why it took colleges until the 90s to start juicing things up, but maybe it has to do with the private v public lending battles discussed here. Who knows https://www.newamerica.org/education-policy/topics/higher-education-funding-and-financial-aid/federal-student-aid/federal-student-loans/federal-student-loan-history/
  8. Companies keep chiseling because Americans are fat lazy cash machines that sit back and pump out money when asked. Zero pushback 25% tip at counter service? Sure 6% commission to sell a home? Sure $5 for drip coffee? Sure Concert Fees 50%? Sure
  9. Bloated universities are the winner. Everyone else loses.

  11. Taylor swift ain’t turning Florida blue. The Cubans are MAGA as fuck
  12. No. The reason is the government unleashed easy money with education loans, and the piggies are gorging themselves at the trough. Schools will continue to suck as much easy money from the government as they can until the spigot is turned off. Schools build new buildings, create new departments, hire new teachers, all to attract more of that easy money. If the rich Prince shows up to my resort looking to spend money, I’m going to find ways to increase the bill until the Prince runs out of money.
  13. I had my best month last month. Top 20 in company. Lost 3 loans this month so far because I’m not allowed to have nice things. Powell can suck a dick.
  14. Why not boycott all? It’s a choice, but to err is human, and redemption is a noble pursuit. Acting like a piece of shit in the present deserves ridicule and derision
  15. In case anyone needs help comparing BMW v Tesla. I have an easy trick Did the company owners PREVIOUSLY support Nazis/White Supremacy or CURRENTLY supports Nazis/White Supremacy?
  16. https://apnews.com/article/european-union-hungary-sovereignty-law-democracy-funds-f0024283a6bf6f4bc78b567f59d8e3ee Is this the first step in kicking Hungary to the curb? Since Orban is basically a dictator now
  17. As longs as both sides keep saying they don’t want to escalate publicly while clearing attacking each other, it’s fine. Everyone believes a confident spokesperson over actions
  18. Imagine living in a shit hole country than bans books
  19. Exactly, when was the last time advertising ever worked
