Because the last I checked chemistry majors like that had a rough time in the job market. If you could find a job the pay was good but the problem was they're just weren't enough of them.

It is just as likely that you're seeing more of this because people who would normally be forced to drop out because they lack basic accommodations are getting those accommodations and are able to finish the program now.

We are long since past the point where life needs to be a constant battle to see who gets to have food and shelter. But we keep that system going.

Can he tariff California? (answer: no)

That can certainly change . . .

Having read the article, it seems like picking human rights certainly is an option! Especially given how those products of abuses are under heavy scrutiny and risk near-future bans.

Chemical Engineering/MSE will be much more valuable for those that can hack it.

That's very expensive insurance.

On the spectrum without telling me you don't know anyone on the spectrum.

It's like Jesus fucking Christ people don't even understand what masking is. People with disabilities go out of their way to hide their disabilities because we do not treat people with disabilities well.

I have a functioning autistic buddy who I didn't really know was autistic for years. Severe ADHD.

My mother was also a high-functioning alcoholic. That and the cigarettes eventually killed her. Severe mental illness treated with booze and smokes.

This is why the right wing is attacking empathy. That plus higher education and critical thinking are the enemies of the ruling elites. While you're raging about people who have substantial disabilities but can just barely hold down a job they're busy raising your grocery prices and getting ready to make your job go away with robots and AI.

They need your rage and attention focused somewhere else and you are happy to oblige them.

We've got nepo babies everywhere and billionaires screwing us over but we are all deeply deeply deeply furious about disabled people getting a little bit of extra time on a test.

I mentioned this elsewhere but the author of this article writes anti-education articles for a living. You can look her up and you will find at least a half dozen of them and counting.

It is amazing how easy it is to manipulate Americans into screwing themselves over. You were going to spend all your rage on this and completely ignore the actual elites fucking you in the ass and raising your grocery prices.

Wasn't Time Warner/Discovery losing a bunch of money? The only way they survive is a buyout. They've already made cuts and restructured without getting back into the black. If Netflix wanted them dead, all they'd have to do is wait (and then snap up the remains if necessary).

I mean it works for them either way. If they manage to make something useful out of it they get something useful out of it but otherwise they destroy a competitor and can jack up prices. It's a win-win.

We have basically eliminated competition from capitalism. It's funny because we are all acting surprised when capitalism breaks down in the absence of the fundamental system for regulating it.

But hey, at least one the girl hands you your coffee at the one coffee shop available in a 20 mi radius she can say Merry Christmas now right?

Yeah, the contrast to Joe and Trump is impressive. Even Joe being old and with the problems he had could stay awake through a meeting and didn't need to restrict all his activities to the back half of the day because he couldn't even work a full day anymore. And boy, if Trump's rambling and nonsensical run on speeches were bad the first time around they're awful this time. I'd pay money for one of Joe's folksy stories rather than listen to another one of Trump's bizarre stream of consciousness rants that rarely make any sense.

I'll take it from your changing of the subject to pardon's that you're conceding Trump is acting in incredibly corrupt form right now with this auto pen nonsense as well.

The problem I have with those Mobile payment apps is that they circumvent Banks and banking protections so that if anything goes wrong you are shit out of luck. But banks don't like making it easy to transfer money because they like to use it to force you to keep all your accounts with them. So a wire transfer is slow and difficult.

The article is written by one Rose Horowitch

A quick Google search turns up several of her other "articles"

Every single one of them is a poorly written and poorly researched opinion piece similar to this one talking about some moral panic regarding the collapse of the American education system with a special emphasis on how bad colleges.

This is more anti-higher education propaganda because Rich assholes do not want your kid or your grandkid getting a good education and thinking for themselves.

Little surprise to see it in the Atlantic, but honestly after what I saw in the last 2 years with regards to American Media not all that surprised. The Atlantic is owned by Steve jobs's ex-wife so we're not exactly talking salt of the earth ownership here...

As usual, follow the money

He's the president of the United States and he is using a detailed plan, project 2025, to completely remake our entire government and society. So no there really isn't going to be anything that doesn't somehow involve trump. He is fully exercising 50 years worth of accumulated Presidential power through rampant abuse.

I can't help it if you're not paying attention or that you don't understand how our government is breaking down.
