Oh I see - did you reply to the correct comment initially? So far Trump's administration has seemed to address perceived grievances that they have with the university administration. In the comment you replied to I…
I think we could nitpick each other's position but at the end of the day we just have philosophical differences so I won't dive into every detail before making my broader point. > I'm taking an apolitical position We've…
I also don't think I claimed that "Trump has done or indicated to do advance the state of education". His administration has addressed grievances that I agree with but they have not introduced the positive reforms that…
> It's mostly ideological posturing about something that sounds scary to them. I think it's fair to be frustrated that a lot of political discourse is driven by appealing to fear rather than discussing facts in goodwill…

European stocks where down even more than US stocks today (although not down nearly as much yesterday)
Can you please help us to understand why you believe the military has had *no* issues using existing comms? At face value this is an extraordinary claim and it flies in the face of examples of friendly fire such as…
Does this sentiment extend more broadly than a single administration? Can we broadly expect many potentially problematic behaviors to continue until an effective negative stimulus is given? It's interesting to me why…
