You're a coach of a running team. Two people try out, and they have the same time. One guy has perfect form. One guy has shit form. Who do you choose?

A: The guy with shit form, because if you teach him the right form he'll be significantly faster.

By the same token, if you put the resources of a university at the disposal of someone who maxed out the use of what limited things they got growing up, they'll go further than someone who made some use of their opportunities.

Also, and this should just be said because you're sounding like a racist ass, but not all poor people are black. Since it measures school quality and socioeconomic factors, most of the people who benefit from this will be white people in rural areas.

Until retailers, because no-paper is pushed so hard, stop keeping the facility to print receipts. I would like it better if this was a double-edged-sword kind of law. One that says:

1. Retailers can only print a receipt if the buyer requests.

2. Retailers MUST maintain the capability and print a receipt if a buyer requests.

Rather than good reviews for their own company, they could generate anonymous bad reviews for their competitors. That would still give them a comparative recruiting advantage, but would be much harder to track to its source.
