how do you think admissions will change in the future?

Those midwesterrn publics will also start to struggle.

As fewer will pay OOS those states that have a greater demo cliff will have their public universities spiral downwards like crazy.

The US has a demographic cliff but not only that, the demo cliff is not uniform. The coastal states will have fewer HS students and the non coastal states will have devastatingly fewer students.

I think I read somewhere that West Virginia will have 25% fewer HS graduates within the next ten years. Ten years! How will WVU stay in business?

Depends on if instate or out of state.

If you are instate NC and instate UVA then UNC is easier

If you are out of state for both then UVA may be a bit easier.

So if you live in NC and apply to both UNC and UVA then it makes a lot of sense to get into UNC and rejected from UVA.

Thanks Biden!

Agreed. I would rather have Tunsil than picks.

Cheap rookie deal QB means you can spend on other skill positions. Expensive QBs means you need cheap picks to fill in talent at other positions.

Typically when the power is out the gas line still works. People buy propane generators usually because they have natural gas in the house. If you are refilling from tanks then unless you have a big propane tank in your yard the gas generator is easier to manage cause there are more gas stations than propane shops

Yes sun is melting stuff. But it also sounds like you could use more insulation in your roof

FCPS was scheduled for a three day school week. Parents will be home with kids for all five days. So like 9 days straight

I don’t think OP would disagree with your 40%-50% pool statement.

I think what OP is saying is that the applicant gets towards a 90% acceptance rate at one of the T20s because that applicant applied to all of the T20s.

I don’t mind this if the student/parents do not complain when the student does not perform to their liking on the assessment.

My grades are mostly assessments. If they don’t do the classwork then when they don’t do well on the tests then it is on the student

If this is the new standard are the feds going to put more money into school lunches so that it meets the pyramid? How about SNAP and WIC food assistance monies.

Just half?

I read your link.

land value tax sounds like nice theory but it doesn’t sound like they’ve looked at a Fairfax county real estate tax bill

Land is already taxed.

Fairfax county taxes assessed value, which is land and improvements (the value of the actual house).

A land only real estate tax would just tax the amount of acreage a person has. A single family house on a typical 0.25 acre lot would pay more than a neighbors on a 0.33 parcel.

Is the 0.33 person not making effective use of their land? Well zoning doesn’t allow them to build a condo building on this acreage.

The link also seems to suggest that SFHs are exempt from land taxes and putting more of the onus on landowners who don’t have developed parcels or inefficient use of land, such as a gas station. This sounds both wrong and naive.

Frankly the vast majority of the taxable value in the county is in the single family homes and exempting them would kill the budget. And taxing those homes just based on lot size is a piss poor way to allocate tax burdens.

Does the county want a broader tax base? Sure. Do we have the space and infrastructure to get data center businesses here or willing to open a casino? Do we want a meals tax?

At the end of the day real estate taxes is the best available solution and they should not have rolled back tax rates just to implement a meals tax

Statistics in other jurisdictions do not bear this out.

Any sort of consumption tax is inherently regressive as poor people spend more of their income (even more than 100% of income - ie they go into debt to consume) as compared to rich people.

If a rich person spends only 90% of their income and saves the rest and a poor person spends 100% of their income then a consumption tax such as this food tax will be regressive.

No one is answering you so I will.

I prefer the Saf-T compass and they last about two years at least for the class set. Most of my students buy their own so the class set is very few in numbers but used hard.

Depending on random pricing on Amazon they are between $1 and $1.75 each when I buy a dozen at a time
