I'm listening in on the Perkins Coie hearing in DDC. (I made it onto the call!) Judge Howell is just recapping where everything is at - 3 pending motions, she hasn't ruled on sections 2 and 4 previously, so she's going to focus on that.

The Federal Reserve produces some report gems.

Is college still worth it? It is for most, but not all, Federal Reserve finds
Earning a four-year degree is almost always worthwhile, but the return on your investment depends on several key factors.
