@ThomBrady5 I remember my very liberal sister talking about how she read Hillbilly Elegy after the 2016 election. I wonder what she thinks about Vance now LOL. I haven't bothered to ask her.
@upstatefederlst I remember reading a newspaper article talking about the horde of political allies that descended on Sacramento to get gibs after CA raised taxes. Eye-opening, especially since it was in the NYT or WaPo.
To be fair, a masters in econ is mostly worthless outside of certain places. You need a PhD for any good jobs. I'm assuming Chinese MA holders get some kind of benefit in their home country or when applying for a visa.
Masterβs in Economics at Duke University, 2025, is 100% Chinese nationals. This is totally out of control. American kids are being elbowed out. Thatβs whatβs unacceptable.
@WomanDefiner I wonder how much of the popularity of solar panels is because you can buy and install them in a reasonable amount of time, even if they aren't especially cheap per kWh. We strangle the most efficient forms of energy.
