This is what happens when you elect violent, brain-dead goons who can’t be bothered to think five minutes into the future. There’s no plan here, just a sick, deeply impaired psychopath in charge of history’s most fearsome war machine. We will all pay the price for years.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university. University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.
