Does it mean people are graduating without 10s of thousands of dollars in debt?

I supposed if that's your focus.

There's also the more obvious "works" meaning it doesn't impact economic activity, workforce readiness, employment opportunity, happiness or fulfillment ect ect.

And then there's the overarching fear " that an event once dubbed "Trumpapalooza" will indeed end up being far more about promoting the president than the candidates who are actually on the ballot.

These idiots are sooooo close to getting it.

But they probably won't. They'll still go on with this farce to show their subservience and supreme cuck status to Daddy Trump then repeat the excuses and lies the administration pushes out to explain away the abysmal attendance and impact.

and the wisdom of diverting candidates from their districts just weeks out from Election Day.

Are they even in their districts meeting constituents?

My former Rep (Ann Wagner) was only ever in district at planned/orchestrated events with vetted, highly controlled audiences, and that was maybe a handful of times a year.

It's going out with a whimper as the workarounds continue to come online.

I'm assuming they're building terminals outside of the Persian Gulf for tanker loading?

I figured he was a better, more carefully thought out foreign account than onelumpofs*&^ given his incessant invocation of AIPAC and smearing of Dems.

If not foreign, at least a dishonest domestic account intentionally spreading biased, divisive rhetoric.

They're battered spouses who can't imagine life without the one they love. I don't know of any other way to characterize it.

Nah, not spouses. Trump isn't committed to them or even that interested in their existence.

They're more like those women in small towns who bounce around from guy to guy getting constantly misused and abused by each. Trump is just the one who finally said "I love you" and let them move in but only for his own specific, malevolent purposes knowing their past as abused SOs would make them supremely malleable and willing to hang around if the right things are said.

At this point they're suffering from learned helplessness and just want everyone else to be as miserable, bitter and empty as they are.

I'm still convinced that IF civil strife happens, it's got a 98% chance of being started by MAGA because either a. they get violently angry when things get so bad they snap out of it and lash out or b. they're so beholden to Trump they react violently when everyone else finally stops humoring them or treats them with the scorn they deserve as things fall apart.

Nah you need to drip more thinly veiled antisemitic feel like calling Jews "pod people" and framing their activities as an "invasion."

Then link some peripherally associated US politician with an AIPAC Tracker showing they received a whole $14,589 in likely unsolicited or unknown blanket donations.

Then finish with FUNNY to mock those rightfully calling out the ridiculousness of one's posting.

That long? I feel like that's longer than I would have guessed, but I'm also not that into the restaurant business analytics.

Yeah, but what about AIPAC?

If your food is not good, you don't last long.

This is often true even if it is good.

What's the average time a restaurant lasts? A year or two?

You would know about choking on Big Macks, you lot lizard.

Go step into traffic you worthless piece of s*&^.

I know they hate the word, but that's because people rarely own or accept a highly negative descriptor of themselves unless they're really unabashedly it.

For instance, only a true woman hater would own the description of a misogynist, a true supremacist the term racist ect ect. Because hating those groups is actually part of their identity.

The funny thing is that they're as much a cultist as their identity as those people are haters of women or minorities. They just refuse to admit it or see it.

Take fistedp^$$&, the level of trust and adoration it takes to say the stuff he says about Trump is absurd. Any rational actor by this point knows he's incompetent or simply kicking up dust to cover for his illicit activities going on behind the scenes. There is no goal to reach, let alone to be reached in some distant undefined future.

I would be genuinely surprised if that analysis wasn't already done repeatedly. My wife is in education administration and there's constant assessments of outcomes and system success/failure being done.

I think a major output would be general economic health. There doesn't seem to be any economic indicators that I'm aware of to suggest European countries who utilize such a system are suffering economically from it. They certainly don't suffer from a more unhappy populace.

But then again, that might be because they don't place so much of their persona in their work. Work is simply a transaction to make money.

That doesn't surprise me.

A few weeks after I moved to Houston, Hurricane Rita put the gulf coast in her crosshairs. When preparing for it, I noticed that the vast majority of stuff at the store that disappeared weren't very well thought out as most of it required refrigeration or components that were perishable (ie milk). The only thing that went quick that was good no matter what was the case after case of bottled water people snapped up.

That got me thinking about preparedness and going through Ike a few years later set me on the road to being prepper lite. Having lived in disaster prone areas for the last 20+ years was always facepalm worthy when things happened.

There should be ample data to confirm or rebut your assertion. Does the system work in countries where it is enacted?

If I could have made the quotes size 50 font, I would have.

However, they are unfortunately in charge and, therefore, occupy leadership positions or roles.
