Laws like human rights, right of due process, right to not be attacked by unidentified masked thugs, right to not be attacked with unjustified force …. It’s clear who is committing the more serious crimes here: the end does not justify the means
State governments have direct control over their states public university system, including how much they charge
The numbers can be pretty crazy - but yeah it’s a complex hellscape of excessive prices combined with student aid designed to extract the most from every student.
My state is covering tuition at its public universities for people below a certain income. After federal subsidies. But you still need to cover room and board. Meanwhile the list price is higher than the Ivy League school I went to many years ago.
But the school my youngest really wanted, has huge subsidies almost half the cost, yet wanted us to come up with $50k/year.
But there’s also a cultural thing where college became almost expected, regardless of what you wanted to do in life. If you only look at it as a financial investment there are many scenarios where it will never pay off or the desired job is too low an income to pay it off. Of course people complain about poor choices in spending when the real problem is thinking of college merely as a financial investment. But college is a good thing if it helps people learn and think, regardless whether there is a direct payoff
nationalizing an industry.
Not even. Every state has a public university system. Many of which used to be free. It’s as simple as investing enough that they be free to state residents again.
Let the private universities continue as they want. Some people will use them but they’ll need to compete against free
Why the eff is my state not on that list? At least my city is, but how is my state not standing up for human rights?
It’s clearly a conflict of interest, by definition.
Maybe you could argue it wasn’t a quid pro quo or a bribe since there is no proof, but it’s awfully suspicious
Wow, I can’t believe how many women in Joshua Tree were attacked by four pit bulls on that one day in January
It’s sort of a plus … obviously not in your scenario …. I believe pitbull breeds tend to be one of the protective and loyal breeds, and they do have a very strong bite. I have no worries about my pit bull with my kids but if you frighten her around them you’ll see her instantly change from a cuddle bug to on guard against hell and its minions
Unfortunately they’re sometimes loyal and protective to people who don’t deserve them
I also feel like I need to add that many breeds of dog are very loyal and protective. In the same situation a German shepherd is equally dangerous. Even little dogs are likely to come after you for attacking their human although obviously they can’t do as much damage. I feel like your situation was a general dog issue: many/most dogs are protective and loyal. You really can’t attack their human without them helping (and yes it doesn’t matter who started it or if he was a dick, to the dog you were attacking his human

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

Tech has been far worse, at least in my experience.
Until recently, government surveillance was at least predictable and consistent. Obviously I was against it, but seemed to have at least some voice and didn’t expect any personal harm. Of course with the recent sharp turn right, we can see how naive that is, how “the slippery slope” is not a fallacy
Meanwhile tech has formed entire businesses out of extracting and exploiting private information, including collecting it for the government to workaround due process, scaling out surveillance networks that government has no budget for, and generally going around limits desired by voters . They have actively pursued whatever avenue they can get away with, causing direct harm to us all
When the biggest abuses of privacy are committed by tech, but bought by government, which do you blame?
