1. Why kill a successful country? So white losers can feel better.

[JoseBalow]

6. Why?

[haele]

12. To be able to reshape ownership via hostile takeover.

Mediocre, hysterical snowflakes currently have all the tools of government. And they're trying to create their own reality by tearing down all the institutions, setting fires and throwing shit everywhere as people try to reduce critical structures because they think they will end up sitting on top of the rubble with all the resources, allowing them to dictate the new way society is going to be run.
Get rid of anyone useful or competent that can challenge them, get rid of the "undesirables", and the mediocre nepo-snowflakes think they will have free reign for their scripted little realities.
Of course, they're all crazy with greed and venal pride, because being able to have lots of money must be smarter than most...

2. It's disgraceful, the GOP is destroying anything that was good about this country.

And now we’re dangerous and a laughing stock at the same time.

3. Science, it all its forms is taking a dangerous direct hit by Trump. It will take decades to

recover.

4. Miami U?

Pretty conservative.

I was the first student to go to Europe for junior year. I think they have established programs since my time.

7. BIL went there but back in the 70s.

I don't trust any educational institution any more than I trust a church or a corporation. Their allegiances change but their desire for power and money are all the same. Sometimes/usually intermingled.

I've witnessed "do good" or "do no harm" pledges broken by any edifice created by man. And I'll use "man" explicitly. There are a few examples of women abusing power but the vast majority of the abuse comes from those fucking broken-X (Y) chromosomed humans. (I'm one of them and I try to understand my inherent frailty.)

8. I was there in the 60s, watched Beatles on Ed Sullivan Show my sophomore year,

and Cuban Missile Crisis was my Freshman year. Yes, OLD!

[PittBlue]

10. No...

But Miami U is certainly an outstanding University.

11. Be cool! Don't dox your daughter

Things have gotten so bad that they could come after her for your post here. I’m assuming you know that and have done some misdirecting so my fears won’t come true. But what a disaster that I/we have to think this way!

5. I know dozens of kids who are not going to US universities

this year - some have decided to attend university in the Caribbean and others have headed to Canada, UK, China, Japan and Europe.

13. I taught an exchange student from Russia in the late 90's.

His parents and grandparents became so fearful of he gun violence here that they had him come home after a year, rather than finish his college degree here and risk being shot and killed.

14. No more Japanese tourists

I’ve lost track of how often I’ve been to Japan in the last 25 years. The flights have always been about half and half Americans and Japanese, but in June the plane was filled almost entirely with Americans. No one in Japan wants to come here anymore. Delta has been offering round trip to Tokyo for as low as $763–an unheard of low price.
