Who cares about morals when you have money

Why? Their complaints and protests are completely valid and done in an informed and determined manner. They know Trump would be worse for Palestinians but that doesn't give Democrats a free pass to be a little less shitty

The comment about the Universiry of California having its most diverse class leaves out some colleges saw a 40% drop in black and latino students that didn't get close to pre Affirmative Action numbers for almost 20 years.

The ban on legacy admissions will ultimately change very little in my opinion as the the majority of legacy candidates come from wealthy families with ties to the university. They'll just call a legacy candidate something else because we all know this won't really be enforced.

You really want to make higher education fair you have to take money out of it and force institutions to take in candidates fairly.

Name me one NYC mayor that hasn't done something corrupt and/or stupid in the past 40 years!!

Still need to go to jail though. Maybe him and Rudy can be butt buddies in prison

America should be the perfect example of violence begets violence. You wouldn't argue arming teachers would lower the amount of school shootings would you?

Agreed until the last part. Pretty sure adding more weapons to an active conflict never works. The better idea would be a cultural shift in teaching ppl not to be complete pieces of shit

Some of the founding fathers owned slaves. I don't think they'd have much of a problem with this

Living in Europe I have to constantly remind ppl that American racism is just European racism with better access to guns

How many times have they caused catastrophic damage to our planet, while spending billions of dollars to cover the damage up for decades, until we go far past the point of no return?

The answer is yes

Most of the ppl I'd vote for have expressed a clear digust in becoming a politician. Sad irony

Nah. Poor ppl who can't afford to leave the hell hole that is Florida will have their houses destroyed. No matter how rich the area there's always a poorer lower class living nearby to do their dirty work. The rich have lawyers to sue to get their insurance to cover damages or are covered by government flood insurance. The poor will suffer while the rich get richer and rebuild even though they built their mansions of flood plains. I lived in coastal Carolina. I've seen it a million times

The sheriff and head of our county DARE program awarded me an award for the best anti-drug essay when I was 10. He committed suicide after getting busted on drug and corruptions charges years later. I've been smoking weed pretty regularly since I was 17 and using psychedelics yearly since I was 20
