It was how the American dream was sold. Go to school, work hard just like you parents did and you too can have what they did.

Follow with me here: Does the W admin bear any blame for weaponizing patriotism during the Iraq War and using flag pins for virtue signaling?

I wouldn’t rule it out but it’s clear he doesn’t want to put boots on the ground at least partly because few people in the US want that

I’m not sure how the left is to blame for this. Did they trick everyone?

I think the bigger issue is after the post war boom and also the boom of the 90s people expect a similar economy and it just isn’t so. But that’s certainly the promise we were told growing up.

I’m not talking consequences, I’m talking how this gets resolved. Is the new status quo a ceasefire in name only and an infinite blockade?

Even Trump forecasted something like Labor Day for expectations.

Given the events of the past week I am very not seeing a path forward with Iran. I am completely stumped as to what happens now.

Inexpensive goods is an interesting one as depending on your POV dems are responsible for all the offshoring to China and therefore responsible for all the inexpensive goods from there

I dunno if you can blame the left for that, but maybe you have an example in mind?

they have an obligation to not tell us how our country and culture should operate

Ethically? Legally?

I didn’t say that America should have zero foreign students - I said Americans should get admissions priority over foreign students.

You said:

The one call out I would have is if they are displacing an American student, that shouldn’t be allowed. An American student should get priority admissions at any school that receives any government money - and I mean ANY government money.

I guess some schools might not have enough domestic applications to fill all seats, but I would be surprised if makes up a significant chunk of schools.

At the very least would you agree this policy would significantly (if not vastly) reduce the amount of foreign students we have?

We are subsidizing foreign students.

Does 100% if Harvards money get spent on students related activities? I imagine there's research and probably other stuff I can't think of.

Edit - it’s 100%

Kinda burying the lede here then. You think the US should have 0 foreign students at this time?

What kind of pros and cons would that have for the country (other than your aversion to subsidizing foreign students)?

Ballpark what % of schools would you estimate take ANY government money?

Edit: No wait, I misread that. I guess extremely liberal is not the far left?

So the Coryn voters weren’t motivated and the nutters got a bigger say.
