  • But then they’ll say “well legancy admissions and the money that brings allows the institution to admit those of lesser means”. However you dice it, what matters the most is that they now have more reason to discriminate. They always did but the way I see it the schools that are impacted most by affirmative action seem to be the ones that have had these legacy admissions. Always been Pay To Play, and now there’s no reason to even try to allow even a minimal amount of outsiders into their exclusive club. All these kids and families that jumped onto Blum’s ship for the lawsuit have been played and don’t even know it.






  • They probably have to pay someone full time to monitor anything he does or says on social media to keep up with the mixed confessions with lies he spews. As dumb as we all like to think he is, I really believe what he’s doing is just trying to flood the news cycle hoping that whatever jurors end up serving are so turned around on what’s true and what isn’t. He’s hoping whatever diarrhea his lawyers will drum up as an excuse will leave enough doubt in the minds of the jurors that they’ll vote to acquit. I think we all believe this is a slam dunk case but let’s be real, ol’ Cheeto Benito has made conning his career and he will continue until he’s behind bars or dead.


  • What doesn’t surprise me is that wealthy adventure enthusiast billionaire would think it’s okay to cheap out on something supposed to sustain his life underwater. $30 game controller? Plumbing pipe for ballast? Off the shelf monitors? Is that picture showing they done even have any seats or way to strap in safely? Bolted in from the outside without a safety escape built in? I feel they would have been better off trying to go at it with an old timey diving bell attached to the surface with an air hose. That would have been even cheaper than this underwater coffin they built. At least then they would have been tethered and retrievable.






  • Sounds good on the face of it but really doesn’t address the mountain of debt most people are in currently. Agreed that schools and deceptive lending practices need to be reigned in, but let’s be real here, this doesn’t really address the root cause of the problem which is runaway costs. As long as people are willing to take the loans out the schools will continue to charge what they want. From what I read it’s just kicking the can down the road and putting the onus on a young student coming out of high school to make the right decision.
