Or pay the rent or manage the mortgage or take the animals to the vet. Most of us wouldn't be able to get into Harvard. Most of us wouldn't be able to afford Harvard hence I hardly ever think of Harvard. Much of what Trump is doing in his first 100 days, I mean the executive order stuff aimed at socio/cultural issues like DEI I would describe these actions as low-impact meaning they don't positively affect the average person. Many of the Trump obsessions he's trying to codify into law don't help the bulk of Americans afford basic living. Trump has so much on his plate it's just leading to political diarrhea and nothing substantive in his second term. Harvard doesn't need the federal funding but that's besides the point.
Everything but the cost-of-living.
Much of the federal funding at universities goes for medical research, quite a broad array of human diseases and cancer. Perhaps they tend to disagree with RFKJr ? But heck Z-Man he's still got 3 years and 8 months to go. Any predictions? I'm thinking cabinet and agency heads may change - like appointing Margery Taylor Green Empress of Greenland, etc.
ReplyDeleteTrump has steered away from the bread and butter issues that got him elected. Dunno his reasoning on the medical research.
ReplyDeleteThing is I didn't vote for him on the Harvard issue. I don't remember it ever coming up. Low-impact for many folk.
ReplyDeleteWhat percent of what you voted for are you getting?
ReplyDeleteExcellent question. CNN recently did a poll on how many people who voted for Trump now regret it.
ReplyDeleteOnly thing I can think of is deporting the illegal migrant gang members. EVEN HERE they're screwing up and not acknowledging and swiftly correctly mistakes. It's certainly not the economy. He's not forceful enough with Putin. On the Middle East he's totally one-sided. In answer to your question it has to be in the single digits. OAN thinks otherwise. They think he's the greatest thing since the invention of the remote control.
Let me just add I'm not really a fan of petroleum-based food dyes and am against unnecessary and cruel animal testing. RFK Jr. and new FDA head Marty Makary dealing with these issues so let's be generous and up that a tiny bit so no more than 10% not even.
ReplyDeleteYes, the human body wasn't designed for petroleum digestion I was involved in animal testing in college (lethal radiation) with white rats.
ReplyDeleteThe physiological was revealing, but I was not proud. Almost as bad a poaching elk.
Don't know why decades pass and it takes an RFK Jr. to point out there's bad things in our food supply.
ReplyDeleteIs he past the roadkill phase?
DeleteBUT it took a guy LIKE THIS to say this. What's wrong with the rest of us? Excuse me while I go put some Vaseline on my pasta.
DeleteSeveral foreign students grabbed by Ice here in Idaho. Most have been returned es as mistakes - Welcome from the Statue Of Liberty. DOGE has closed our National Parks and highway restrooms, although Idaho voted overwhelmlingly for the NICE GUY.
ReplyDeleteWhere is thera a sane quite place any more Z-Man?
Highway restrooms? Now you got my dander up. No more take a nice leak grab a map and go to the vending machine?
