When your mission to recruit and retain new student populations runs headlong into your desire to grind university staff into pulp.

Part of an email reading “development of a First Gen Mentor Program to build on SIUE's growing first-generation student community and the demonstrated value of mentorship in student success. We were thrilled by the strong response and interest from faculty and staff eager to participate.
As we moved toward implementation, our office experienced some unexpected staff transitions over the summer, which have temporarily impacted our capacity to launch and sustain the program at this time. While we are unable to move forward with the mentorship component right now, we remain committed to supporting first-generation students and plan to revisit this initiative in the future as staffing allows.

regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

Nazi Germany did literally ban Nature: "Articles are often published in the London weekly scientific journal Nature containing outrageous and vile attacks on German science and the national socialist state. The journal must therefore be excluded from general use in the scientific libraries."
