@IrishDinosaur: pell grants and other government programs can make it so someone poor can attend university in the us for free. It may be an accounting degree from a local school that only costs 7k per semester, but it is free. If they want a t10 that wont scholarship or fin aid them, they can pay. University for free doesnt mean every university for free.

@IrishDinosaur: how many trillion do u think the don will spend? i bet 5-7tril over 4yrs.

IrishDinosaur

16:42

interesting vid so far. the lower birth rate really is an issue. in so many areas, school enrollment is down, so public schools are fighting tooth and nail to keep their students from going to charters/private school

Dkk

16:45

@llama: lmfao, I linked that video here when it came out.

Dkk

16:46

Thats my justification for this being an unprecedented time when it comes to law school admissions.

llama

16:47

@Dkk: we should get affiliate commissions for bringing viewers like Honey. It does make some sense. it is not the full picture but i think it brings up some less popular causes to the issue

Dkk

16:49

Ill talk to my letter of rec guy lol. Got him on linkedin. He is doing a little bit of damage control for the Honey thing but he does not care lol.

llama

16:50

lmfao. it blew over so for. $PYPL is set to reach $100 very soon. I think overall the stock has been suppressed (val of $200?)

Dkk

16:51

Sounds good to me. I still wish Blue Chew actually gave me a promo code for this chat. Sad they denied me.

We dont need more people, black death made labor expensive and then rich people were like "i am not paying 150k for someone to greet at walmart but no one will do for less build me something that costs less"

Dkk

16:56

I agree with that. I think the video is a good thing. Especially if automation really what people claim.

Eggan

17:18

@Dkk: letter of rec for law school? and you just know him through linkedin?

windyMagician

17:24

“we don’t need more people” yeah that’s what they said in Japan and china bro

snow

llama

17:26

correct me if I am wrong, but isn't like every western country negative birth rate (ie married ppl have less than replacement of 2.3avg kids)? or is that elon conspiracy lmao

Dkk
