What are they going to do? Transfer out and have only half their credits recognized therefore pushing them back 4 semesters instead of the 1? It's a fantastically anti-consumer market they've managed to create.

Seems intuitive correct. The tragic correlation is probably that on both ends of the U, parenting is probably not great on average due to the sheer time demand of being poor/very wealthy. It's an interesting lens through which to

It would be nice if the ecofascists in charge of setting the West's energy policy could chill with the solar and wind, and focus on nuclear. But it's probably too late anyway. We should all be bracing for a serious decline in ene
