@americakaran Wake and Meck are both fast growing but have very different histories of rate hikes, limiting a county’s ability to raise property taxes will force them to take fiscal responsibility

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@americakaran None of that really requires property tax, all authority in NC also rests with the state legislature, not local government.

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@americakaran I disagree. NC has a lot of construction activity, you are just competing with more landlords.

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@americakaran The most significant resource crunch is in schools, but there has been a healthy investment in new schools in the cities where growth is concentrated.

@frvrfrgvn81 @AngelaLMorabito I guarantee you the Sam Altmans of the world had very high PSAT scores

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@drBalls0 @airfilter32 I think that’s called satire

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@DefaultSandCrab @zagrebbi it’s kinda impossible to be the best in the world unless you expose yourself to competition from the world

@Webstorb38q @zagrebbi @DanielDiMartino This famously was the system from 1857-1947

@marcportermagee im not convinced about this, you can replicate the testing experience at home quite well, those who take the test multiple times are well equipped with practice tests

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@marcportermagee definitely, but i would distinguish between checking boxes to speedrun graduation and accelerating a traditional mathematics/science curriculum to give a student the greatest possible opportunity to pursue advanced research and specialized material at their own interest.

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@marcportermagee that ranking is largely about acceptance rate, considering how many seats 'equity' admits take up, the true merit based admit rate is astonishingly low

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@JohnWilson @neetu_arnold uc is extremely sought after nationally, people routinely turn down ivy league acceptances to go to a california flagship

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@askewshades @neetu_arnold frankly undergraduate education has nothing to do with anything at this point.

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@askewshades @neetu_arnold undergraduate admissions has basically nothing to do with research output.

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@x1234521 @neetu_arnold the question here is whether those students are even qualified to attend berkeley? especially when thousands who are qualified are rejected for simply going to the wrong school?

@JamesHarvey91 @sfmcguire79 @garrytan as much as i believe the former im sure theres some weird funding mechanism that adds funds for lower income students

[weird little freak @twunkistan]

@posta_octavian christian humanism was invented in vatican 2. the church for the majority of its history has tolerated, encouraged, and celebrated the destruction of human life if it furthered goals.

@CrimeDecoder @AlecStapp that map shows the highest concentration of institutionals in the poorest parts of Charlotte, home prices in those areas are not terribly inflated, and its possible renting is just the norm for people with poor credit
