Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:
The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:

1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $

For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

who could this possibly be? "as you surrender yourself to the shining sea of ​​life, the warm sweetness of the tonka beans that gently spreads soothes your soul and gently softens your tightly clenched lips. a fragrance dedicated to the oldest people, who loved the past while living in the present."

for estinien: "the refreshing scent of eucalyptus captures its essence, taking on the astringency of spices as it is bathed in the blood of a swirling enemy in the moment of a showdown. the searing heat resonates with the embers within, leaving behind a new sign at the end."

I just keep turning over the phrase "moral injury on a national scale" being unable to better articulate what these repeated, high-profile things are doing.

The nuclear triad is antitrust, labor relations, and taxes.

Precision strikes include banning stock buybacks, leveraged buyouts, and crypto, nationalizing SpaceX, and clawing back Thiel's Roth 401k chicanery.

But the big sticks are antitrust, labor relations and taxes.
