Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?
Mm… he’s an antivax loon but I’d like to remind people that other respected organizations (e.g. WHO) don’t recommend it for healthy children who have had at least one dose. I’m not sure about 2025, but that was the guideline at least back in 2024.
Pregnant women are suggested to have at least a booster, once per pregnancy, though. At least, according to WHO.
I mean, it’s actually healthier to an economy to keep the well trained immigrants but you know how racist af people are. These aren’t just professionals, they’re pre-wealthy professionals and often have seed money to lead start-ups, lol
But racism and xenophobia are self destructive.
Having actually worked in academia, though, this actually does have a kind of fucked up capitalist answer (and it really isn’t merit) which is most true in public universities more so than Harvard: international students pay more. A lot more, in fact… so much so that my alma mater of UCLA has marketing campaigns in places like China.
As others point out, though, this isn’t zero-sum. More money theoretically means more subsidized US students (and more seats in general). At UCLA, this is especially true since any Californian making less than a certain amount can pretty much get a free ride (and even if not that, highly discounted tuition). I myself being a beneficiary of that, too, btw.
Now, private schools on the other hand, they probably pocket that cash. USC being my most local example, but I bet Harvard does the pay to win shit, too. I think it’s correct to take issue with how they operate, but MAGA is misleading people as they always do in any form of class warfare.
In other words-- your sexting is safe, friends.
Actually, real answer is that fears of that are already lowering oil prices. That and OPEC manipulating it again. It’s not so much the ships but the transit after; also less people buying things, typical recession stuff.
Lower prices on gas tends to be seen as a win, although ironically the US is the biggest oil supplier so it hurts the economy here too.
Yes, that’s what I was referring to but wasn’t in a good position to search up for the post. Thank you for sharing it!
