>All the people in Trumps cabinet are absolute and pure evil.

Anon, that's not really true.

Rick Perry's in there, no? He's just plain dumb, anon. So at least some are just really dumb.

I mean, to be fair, you can look at responding to droughts by lowering the state fire fighting budget and organizing a day in which everyone prays for rain in a sports stadium as either dumb or evil.

>>719625849
Well, if you can agree that he is "dumb," then if you look at it scientifically, he is evil to our society.

Say we are all smart and understand that his stupidity will hurt our country as a whole by him making the wrong decisions, then that would mean he is fundamentally evil to our country.

By hiring a caveman as a fireman, who clearly can't do his job trying to save people. You're proactively killing innocent people. That is evil.

>>719626050

Sure, if you argue negligence is evil.

Common man, you haven't figured it out yet? Republicans operate under pure ponzi-scheme rules and they hit the golden quadfecta of a Republican President, a Republican house, a Republican senate, and very soon a Republican Supreme Court. The next two years are going to be nuts, they are going to be making so much money with backhanded deals. Right now Trump is doing a classical move called layering. He is appointing all these morons who will take the blame when they fail and the money in all their departments end up funneled into the hands of various companies and corporations. This money trickles down (what Republicans really think about when talking about trickle-down economics) to news agencies like Fox News so they keep at their shtick and to congressman as presents and campaign donations. It's all about money man. Trump's already made millions in the few short months he has been president-elect by simply using tweets to manipulate stocks.

You seem to be worried that the person chosen to lead the department of education does not like the department of education.

I am trying to explain to you that these "departments" are trash that we don't need and that Trump intends to get rid of them. He needs the help of congress to dismantle them and that will take time, putting somebody in charge who hates the department is something he can do now and without congress.

Next step will be the US budget, expect deep cuts in all of these departments.

>>719626973
>how do you expect people to not get ripped off
This is the main difference between republicans and democrats.

Republicans expect grown ups to be grown ups, democrats expect them to be babies that need protection.

Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck for you if you signed up for ITT Tech or whatever. Darwinism at work

Unlike the "ole-timey reagan years", where technology was dumb, less sense of organization.
A more; "Oh well, I just got laid off of my job of 18 years, so the ceo can buy more houses and boats." or "I worked all of my life, had a lapse in coverage, got cancer, got insurance under the aca, now I loose it?" People are not as passive as they used to be. They will fight.

I hope this isn't how Trump supporters really think.

The kind of place you're thinking of creating is like China.

Where you walk down the street and everyone tries to sell you cheap knock-off bullshit.

At some point you're being sold so much shit, you're swimming in shit and there is nothing genuine left.

If all Universities can lower their standards, there is no point for any University to self regulate. They can all lie about their scores to get more funding. Eventually, the whole country becomes fucking stupid (which is kind of already happening) and it's because of people like you who believe that by everyone fending for themselves they'll somehow become smarter.

Small government, does this ring a bell?

this basically means taking an ax to the blood suckers leaching from government and start swinging.

It needs to be done every so often, and lil bush did pretty much the opposite when he was up, so Trump is going to have to swing twice as hard to get some traction on this

don't worry your little head about it, in eight years I am sure you will get a democrat in power who will start bloating the government all over again and protecting you until you don't have a job any more.

I'm at least happy that Trump basically overtly said he wants a socialized healthcare platform, and I'll be very happy to watch the republicans go through mental gymnastics to agree because he is 'their guy'

>>719627696
>In 8 years

I project that in 4 years the democrats will have a resounding presidential victory. You can screen shot this if you want. If they run literally anyone but Shillery they will win. Trump has something like a 40% approval rating before even taking office. Its over for the alt-right after these 4 years.

Regardless, the Devos family has donated millions creating a world class cancer treatment and research center and an amazing pediatric hospital. They do good things with their money.

You fucktards who don't understand the concept of private education, listen up.

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT MAGIC. The government pretends to set standards and in the end it only creates a safe haven for useless bureaucrats to siphon money from the public tit. You want accountability in government? Good luck. We go from 'No Child left Behind' to 'Common Core'- from a dozen programs before to a dozen after, all of it American-style socialist BULLSHIT.

Yet America's test scores are among the lowest in the civilized world. As with health care, another area deemed too important to escape government meddling (even before Obamacare) the incentives are all fucked up and the results are shitty.

The problem for lil johnny has nothing to do with "paying a little more" for healthcare.

The US is paying 6 times more for worse care than any other first world country. This is not a random event and it has nothing to do with health care.

Do you want to save old naan? start lobbying for more doctors, we need ten times more doctors and the American medical Association union does not let us have them.

Cont. From part 1

You say a bunch of phony, for-profit schools would emerge to bilk parents? Yeah. People are always trying to get away with shit. But unlike GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED education there can be actual accountability. Schools will rise and fall on their reputation, with full control of how they hire, fire and train their staff. Those who do it right, using whatever means, will become the standard. Those who are shitty will become known as a toxic way for parents to spend their education dollar, they will be an embarrassment, not to mention such schools being subject to private lawsuits for failing to provide the services they promise (when was the last time you heard of any public school being punished by the parents? For fucks sake, we can’t even get abusive teachers fired in our shitty public school system)

So before you morons go assuming that just because a government department has a name that name must describe what it does, consider that America didn’t have any education department, or agriculture department, or dozens of other departments that now deprive us of freedom and parasitize us with their useless tyranny. We went from backwater collection of colonists to a world superpower in a century. Get a grip. Government is NOT your mommy to make things better and it is not your DADDY to be your king and solve our problems. It is comprised of shitty, lazy, stupid humans who are protected from responsibility in a way private enterprise is not.

I agree that it is not cheap. It however, should not be passed onto consumers like it is. It should be passed on to other countries that directly benefit from use of the medication. IE if the US invented a drug that cured all cancer, the rest of the world better pony up for its use.

He gave us the weekend and overtime, established social security, drove the unemployment rate down to zero, built the largest, most powerful military the world has ever seen, kicked the shit out of Germany and Japan, saw to the development of the A-Bomb, and positioned America to go from B-list backwater to become the world's greatest superpower ever since.

And that cheeky motherfucker did it all from a wheelchair while pretending he could walk.

That total dosn't include that all of our scientists make 300k+, CEO'S make 10M+, we spent 1 billion on a new research facility on the property of one of the most prestigious engineering schools. Not to mention all the "social programs" where we give away drugs. We pretty much over pay everyone, spend billions on expansion, and still turn a profit of half a trillion every decade. Let not pretend we aren't over charging.

What would life experience possibly have to do with data

LOL, this is almost verbatim the response I was expecting from from you. Frankly, i couldn't give a flying fuck if they got a tax break or whatever. This city is now being populated by doctors, medical research scientists, interns, ect. In short, smart people. Construction is booming to provide housing for these professionals. It's a beautiful fucking thing. Fuck, even the little 'rebel' of the Devos clan started 'Artprize', which draws thousands of tourists(and their money, Lefty) to the city every summer. The Devos money invested in this city has transformed this place from a humdrum nowhere to what I have just described in the last 20 years. Anyways, I'd probably like you irl, but for now, I would politely ask you to go fuck yourself.

Grants and scholarships come from the DOE, how does dismantling it help kids now? Merit based scholarships alone will not get you trough school. Why would making education solely possible for those who can afford it be fair? You can't generalize the population based on your standards, not every kid is capable of maintaining straight A's for more than just not giving a shit.

>>719628668
sure kid. played this game with you before.

>>719630625
Because your taxes pay for it, more of your pay check is taken to pay for these things

>implying adding another step to regenerate the enzymes is not also timely and costly
do you even know what it takes to purify an enzyme?

California and New York give more money to the Federal government then most of the south combined. The entire republican run states are on welfare.

I doubt your quality control scientists non phd's are making as much as your R&D PhD scientists

>>719628810
you have no reading comprehension

another thread of crybaby millennials.
didn't see this coming.

If you really think school loans are the only reason for schools sky rocketing, you live in a sad little bubble. What about federal grant priority? Increased campus service's including social programs, police, and health care? What about increased research costs based on basic technological progress in the past few decades? What about the rise is non STEM degrees which has raised the enrollment but decreased the alumni support per capita? What about the effect that the plethora of people who got those shit degrees crying about how expenseI've and Art History Degree is, when it's perfectly affordable to most fields, seriously, why the fuck would you invest in a degree with no future and cry that you can't pay for it; it's like buying a vending machine, filling it with shit, and complaining that it didn't pay for itself. What about the increased focus on collegiate sports? What about the increased (demanded, and even protested by students) teacher: student ratio? What about the increasing demands from the federal government grants, with narrow time line for universities to adapt to? What about absurd cost of Title IX, and the forced investment in programs which turn no profit; the government is literally forcing schooks to make poor financial decisions.

right, this is the map that shows wellfare in terms of the state's GDP that huff uses for his sensationalistick reports.

Use your head a bit though, the statement "the majority of the people on welfare are republicans" has absolutely nothing to do with this map.

take a look at the .gov link I posted and look at where the money is actually going (pic related)

>>719631940
I don't care about what your R&D phd's make
I seriously doubt your bottom tier scientists (quality control with a BS) are making 300k

>>719630992
That's cute, you think native English speakers have science PhD's and work for top companies. Maybe if you go to Johnson & Johnson.

>>719632101
100%, Boston ha's become a highly competitive market. You aren't getting through the door without a PhD. We are feeding off places like BU, MIT, and Harvard and tons of scientists are moving here because all the big players are here, Pfizer, Novartis, Vertex, Cambridge, etc. I'm sure smaller places don't pay that, but the big players do. There are over 100 biomedical companies in Cambridge alone, if Novartis wants to stay at the top, all of the staff must be top quality. If the pay isn't high, they will get headhunted for a better position. Many would rather the cash than the title.

No they don't. That hasn't really been a thing for years now.
