That would be "business" as usual; the downside of being "in business".

Why Public College Should Be Free | The Nation

RCGibb comments on Dec 24, 2019:

WilyRickWiles replies on Dec 24, 2019:

"Why should the choices of the wealthier most privileged people be subsidised by poorer taxpayers. Federal spending on financial aid has been the major driver of increased tuition" That is exactly why they are proposing to fund public universities, which serve lower income students and put downward price pressure on non-public universities rather than what we do now, which is subsidize higher income students at many non-public universities that have no incentive to compete on price or serve more of the population.

I think Reason is biased but factual. I'm not a right libertarian, so I don't read it very often, but there are some areas of intersection with my views. I've found a few of their stories to be fair and well-written. Moreover, I get the sense that in recent years there has been a shift in funding within some libertarian organizations in favor of donors from tech and environmentalist interests.

@Dmwils Trump wants a circus because he's a narcissist. Mitch McConnell has said it's not happening. He and the Dems know that it would create an opening for Democrats to exploit differences between Trump and purple state Republican senators in order to pressure them to convict. Moreover, it would make impeachment dominate the media narrative in an election year, which would boost left partisan enthusiasm and put more pressure on those purple state Republican senators.

WilyRickWiles replies on Dec 19, 2019:

What do you propose besides attempting to learn from history? I happened upon this while researching my family history. Yes, some of my ancestors were members of a class of secular WASP merchants who became wealthy through international trade of slaves and opium, and then parlayed it into mining, railroads, and steamboats, while supporting the cause of abolition, possibly to ease their conscience. This is not something new, something Jewish, something unAmerican, or something communistic. And there is nothing pure or special about how they became wealthy and helped develop this country. You have to be honest about and understand yourself before you can understand other people.

Maybe you're not looking in the right place? Back in October, I listed what I would include in a comprehensive impeachment inquiry. Ultimately, Congress decided to go only with the top two. Remember, impeachment is a political process with a standard of "high crimes and misdemeanors." Soliciting foreign election interference from Ukraine. Obstruction of the impeachment inquiry. 8 felony campaign finance violations including Giuliani's role with Ukraine. Emoluments. Obstruction of the Mueller probe. Demagoguery. Immigration policy of family separation and Muslim ban. Politicizing the Department of Justice. Abuse of pardon power. Electioneering by his campaign, donors, and Cambridge Analytica in 2016. Potential foreign collusion in 2016. Criminality of his 2016 campaign (e.g. Manafort, Flynn, and Cohen).
