Trump considering taking $3 billion in Harvard grants, giving them to trade schools

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Wow. Apparently, in MAGAmerica, science and engineering are bad.

Nope. Woke is bad and has been soundly rejected by rational Americans.

 

[BS Filter]

Vulgar? You align yourself with the likes of Dr. Phosphorus and Clipper and you have the audacity to call anyone else vulgar? LOL, Try again.

The left is very self-righteous, and as is common with self-righteous hypocrites, they're blind to their own imperfections.

This would be awesome if Trump could pull this off.
I would much rather see the money going to fund future plumbers and electricians, than funding and indoctrinating future America and western-hating leftists.

Brilliant

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Like how to cut off fingers while at work and horseplay is fun.

Dumbest post of the year for you. I know you can beat it!

China is laughing at this. We aren’t going to maintain any economic edge by taking away from cutting edge research and training more plumbers.

Everyone knows when China laughs it's a face saving facade to hide their fear. Kinda like libtards.

I’m still trying to figure out why Harvard, one of thr most expensive universities in this country, gets 3 Billion taxpayer dollars?

And if you don’t think welding, machining, and HVAC are science and engineering, I assume you live in a cave.

I am trying to figure out why you can’t see the larger picture here and why you seem to think this a zero sum situation where it is either universities or trade schools. Harvard is expensive, but that doesn’t begin to cover the cost of research, funding labs and the people work them.

Sure, there is a degree of science and engineering in welding, machining and installing HVAC systems, but they are not the ones who figure out how to upgrade quantum computing, or a more efficient HVAC systems.

Sure, leftists are guilty of educational elitism and ignoring or diminishing the value of trade schools and that has led to its own host of issues,

So you don’t fund research because…what, you want to stick it the libs and higher Ed? Or maybe you fund only the “ideologically correct” research, but then you never what might lead to a connection that leads to a break through.

All this is leading to a brain drain and other countries which see a value in this will gain a competive edge while we’re busy using taxpayer money to subsidize private religious schools and fossil fuels.

When US universities put Antisemitism in their core curriculum… they ceased being educational or scientific.

Antisemitism is not in anyone’s core curriculum.

Why you Trump losers keep making up these obvious lies is beyond me.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Given China's crumbling buildings what they learned in Haaarvard did not do them any good.

This is about the US not China shit for brains.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Trade schools are a good investment.

Yes. But thats not Trump'd call.

 

[TimFitz]

We are pro science. It is Progs who are burning Tesla's. And hate modern reasonably priced space projects.

Trumpsters won’t buy Teslas.

And it is your fuhrer trying to destroy the NIH, cancelling research, and conducting agressive harassment of institutes of higher learning.

Dr Phosphorus and Clipper?????????

Really?

So unless they indoctrinate kids with right-wing bs and fake Christian nationalism, then the president can try cutting off funding. Digita Drifter doesn't understand just how much the export of American education creates for this economy. So Trump wants the best and brightest in the world to go to Oxford, Cambridge, the University of Beijing, etc.

It’s ironic that they are so anti-China yet here they giving China what it needs, gift wrapped, because it is more important to “stick it to the libs” than do what is best for the country. Also, in their anti-foreign student zeal, they don’t realize that foreign students are the ones that pay so we can subsidize our own students. Talk about killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

Good! When I went to Trade Tech in L.A., it was $6.50 a semester in the early 1970s.

 

[Coyote]

How big is their endowment?

Big enough that they can stand up to Trump where other universities can’t.

These are simple-minded people who get riled up over nationalism. They can't see the overall picture. Trump is dumb, and that's dangerous because he has the power of the presidency.

I don't have a problem saying it, Islamists are indeed western-hating pieces of shit.

Really? All Muslims?

I wouldn’t say simple minded, they’re not stupid. And to be honest, looking down on them by labeling them like that is part of the reason Trump is so compelling.

Because they are so immersed in their politics of anger and grievance intertwined with conspiracy riddled logic, that they see in Trump a savior who embodies all these slights and who will settle all their scores regardless of the cost. He will bring back a golden age that in reality never really existed and can’t be manufactured. This is how fascism gains a toe hold. It is also reminiscent of China’s cultural revolution and Russia’s Bolshevik revolution. Ruthless populists exploiting deep seared grievances to solidify their power.

Wages for trades should be double what they are.

 

[Blisterfinger]

That is a rather personal question..

You a faggot moony?
