@carney@davidgaw I think the point made here is that most students don’t pay the actual tuition ‘rack rate’ because few can afford it. International students tend to be the ones that do. So if we reduce the pool of those who can pay the full amount, everyone will be tapped to pay more
@astoundconnects my internet has been out since before 7am today and the time to fix has now moved from noon to 8pm. And if you call the service won’t allow you to speak to anyone until ‘service is restored’. This is not acceptable.
""Neither of us can remember what Noah said, but I know it was so profound,” Ms. Allison said" is Veep-level comedy.

Yglesias responding to being satirized by @DougJBalloon with a near perfect Yglesian take--that trademark balance of smug and daft--is a true form of internet sublime
@michaelbd@jbarro The nuance on Evanston-Skokie I think you’re missing is that Evanston is like Berkeley or Cambridge in it being in part a college town with super progressive politics
What an incredible story. An extremely rare brain mutation starts showing up in several unrelated families all across the U.S.

@michaelbd@asymmetricinfo Michael, in following this debate was trying understand, do you oppose the existing required vaccinations for schoolchildren? Or is it that you think COVID doesn't rise to the level of public health risk to children of the ones currently mandated?
