Texas requires one to complete 1,000 hours of training to be a licensed barber but only 200-300 hrs of training to be an EMT.
So many people think that the students who can't pay back their loans are going to like Vassar or Oberlin or even Harvard. In reality they're going to schools like Legends Barber College or Construction Training Center.

Look at this field, folks. Look at it. Tremendous mud. The best mud, frankly. Nobody does mud like Agincourt. We band of brothers. Anybody who sheds his blood with me today, he’s my brother. We have the best brothers, don't we? We took Harfleur, we're taking the French crown, 100 years, count it.
and i said to my advisors why just 30. why not make the war bigger. why not a 60 years war. or a 90 years war. maybe even a hundred years’ war. so we are looking into that. we are looking into an excursion that we hope and pray will last unto the fourth generation very very strongly.

You couldn't make Columbo today because modern research disclosure standards to combat p-hacking would force them to air the 90% of the time when suspects immediately shut up and asked for their lawyer.

It’s important to note that the same administration is also targeting the use of socioeconomic status as “too close of a proxy for race,” so since poor and/or first generation college students are disproportionately Black and Brown they’d like to end any programming on those bases as well.
Breaking News: The Trump administration released new rules that could revoke tax-exempt status from schools offering targeted support to minority students, a new front in the president’s campaign against higher education.

10 years ago, we were debating whether dropping below 5% unemployment would trigger inflation. Now, 4% is where we're sitting, roughly the same rate as the peak of the late 90s economy.
People really want Trump to be an economic disaster and sorry, it's just not playing out that way. There's no doubt his policies have reduced growth relative to an alternative baseline, but the US economy is in great shape for the near to medium term, even more so given everything he's thrown at it.
People have been telling me this for two years now and I'm sorry y'all are wrong lol

If you're a tech giant, the clear takeaway seems to be that monopolization is a crime that carries no real punishment. At worst you'll undergo discovery that would be embarrassing if anyone were paying attention and then be forced to stop doing the most egregious 15% of what you made zillions doing
