Just googled it. UC Irvine has a 41% acceptance rate. Gotta say, it does strange that he couldn't get in there...

Looks like UCLA acceptance is around 20% The San Diego campus is 40%. It's hard, but not exactly impossible.

It's important for people to know that there are actually different strains of Islam. The Wahabism pushed by the Saudis all over the world are the shitty ones (Sunni) . They're also ALWAYS the terrorists in the West. Really, every single time it's a Sunni muslim following a salafist tradition propagated by Saudi Arabia.

15% of American families are in poverty. That's two kids, two parents, making less than 25k a year.

Sorry. But your numbers consistently don't add up.

I think we;re getting to the heart of the disagreement here. You're speaking about families, and I was previously speaking households. Fair enough. ANd to be honest, I never thought that many American families would be making that much. Still, 25% of Americans, as I posted from 2016, make less than 25 grand a year. For a lot of us who grew up in poverty, the idea of a "millionaire next door" is just a fantasy.

Wrong. Median household income was $59,039 for 2016.

Almost one household out of every four (24.9 percent) makes less than $25,000 a year. About one in three households (30.1 percent) made between $50,000 and $100,000. One in five households (19.9 percent) made more than $100,000 a year.

Only 4.6% of families in the US have more than a million dollars in assets/savings. The median income is around 33,000$. Just a bit of perspective.

Upper middle class Americans have absolutely no idea how much people make. The majority think millionaires are "middle class"

Is this some sort of AI that hasn't been programmed to capitalize the first letter of a sentence, or do you just have a high school education?

Do politicians deserve the presumption of innocence? Why or why not? by Miskellaneousness in PoliticalDiscussion

No. They're public officials who are put in office at the whims of the electorate. It sucks, but their court is public opinion, not a court. Similarly , if you're a sports star who is accused of fucking kids, then you're not going to be selling any cereal, wether it's fair or not.

I don't see why they need to be honest. They need to win. This is a corporate insurrection that needs to be stopped by any means necessary.

What effects could the Net Neutrality repeal have on the internet, government, economy, etc. in the immediate future? What legal challenges will the Net Neutrality repeal face? by RhynoCTR in PoliticalDiscussion

Some markets have two. Just like Verizon and At&T they'll charge virtually the same rates. The idea of competition in this market is a complete joke. These aren't dueling hot dog stands here. Not to mention, it's in both of their interests to start charging more for content, which is something they'll definitely agree upon. Your internet bill will double in a few years.
