the economic success of the U.S. is significantly built on the land grant universities and in particular their excellent agricultural science tradition.
Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Precisely. Only consistency improves deterrence.
Doesn’t matter how harsh a punishment is, if people R relatively certain they’ll get away with it.
Even a light punishment is effective if people R certain they WILL be punished.
💯% getting a $50 fine works better than 2% chance at 10 years prison.

Harsher sentences don't improve deterrence and they won't bring victims back to life.

I have to disagree. It takes at least 10 days to turn a hide into leather.
So by noon their hides would be soaking in tubs of water in preparation for stretching.
Well on their way to becoming wallets… But craftsmanship takes time.

They have such delusions of grandeur that they feel like they could’ve actually pulled this off. They would be skinned and turned into wallets by noon. Please be forreal.

Indiana's cuts to childcare vouchers have killed 3 daycares in my county in the past 2 months.
I think there is only one center still offering infant care.
The library also had to cut Friday hours entirely.
