Nbcnews linked to a report by the college board, that look like it tracls the relative cost of college all the way back to 1994 - - ten years after Regan’s fuckery, and at least 20 yeara too short to show a real drop. And the drop they show is over only about 4 years.

Today’s students were raised by a generation who lived through crippling debt, and see no reason not to expect tuition to skyrocket over the nexr few years.

Not to mention “tuition and fees” ignores the absurd cost of housing.

Nancy Pelosi also said that we have enough votes to take the house.

I’ll consider listening to her again if and only if Hakeem Jeffries is Speaker.

If you can figure out how to have anonymous and secure ANYTHING over the internet you’d win a nobel prize.

For the moment, claims to do all three either lie about one part or are as sci-fi magic as sapient AI or faster than light communication.

Depending on your state that’s probably true… Unless, like Georgia (or maybe Texas soon) you have an even where a Red-controlled state goes Blue by a thin majority and the NPV keeps special attention away from them.

I can honestly see Texas republicans joining the NPV if they go POTUS-blue just once. Especially if there’s any downballot effect.

Politics doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

When the NPVC goes into effect, both major parties will run whole-country campaigns and swaths of the nation that are currently ignored will get actual attention. While some states may have pullback campaigns, its also likely that other states will react by joining the compact to preserve the new status quo of not being ignored.

(the compact itself does allow for states leaving, and even sets a nice 6-month time offset. )

There isnt a debate.

One of the major parties in the USA knows that they are able to get power only because the 1929 Apportionment act artificially buouys the power of less populous states in the House and by extension the electoral college. The other one is just fine with actual proportional representation.

Not t metion that the EC doesn’t encourage presidential candidates to campaign nationwide: most states are ignored, and focus is on the minority of swing states.

(and Lincoln had a clear plurality of the popular vote. He woukd have won a national vote too.)

I mean, isn’t it a usb_c cable that the manufavtuer claims can handle 10 amps of current at once? (which i think may be on the low side)
