If you've never heard anyone dispute the five dead claim, then you need to get outside your echo chamber occasionally.

This claims that Boyland overdosed on amphetimines, but there is clear video of a black female officer beating her in the head with a baton, and being dragged out of the building bloody. This shows the video with the typical fact checker claim of "yeah, it happened, but it was ok for 'reasons'"

It was an "uprising", were the police held the door open for the uprisers, and then they walked down the halls within the velvet markers. The only damage done were by a few miscreants, mostly dressed in Antifa uniforms.

The FBI is on record in court filings as saying there was no organized plan to overthrow anything. But, you can keep regurgitating what Joy Reid told you to say.

Convicted? Conviction implies there was a trial. To the best of my recollection, there has been one trial held, and the guy was let off because the police opened the door and welcomed him into the building.

All they have so far is a handful of plea deals from people that were held in solitary confinement for a year.

I think it is because they're afraid that they will be informed that the grand priestess at the CDC has already admitted that their face diaper was always a joke and never protected them or their neighbor from anything when they go to the Circle K. Once you declare that a dissenting opinion or a pesky fact you don't like is violence, despite 70 years of science to show it true, there is no other recourse than to have it banned 1984-style.

This logic is why so many students think that universities are trade schools rather than institutes of higher learning and research.

NOPE. Not even close.

Being constantly berated by teachers through 12 years of school that you need to prepare for college, because college graduates make TWICE non-college graduates over their lifetime is the reason.

Said like a true first-worlder.

Some of us are born without a silver horseshoe shoved up our asses, and have to actually make something of limited resources while feeding ourselves (and sometimes others) at the same time.

Going to school is advertised as a way to a better life. What a person can expect out of that better life that is being promised should be spelled out.

How about smart engineers versus those who barely passed.

Wouldn't that be an incentive not to "barely pass" anyone? You used to associate a graduate degree with intelligence, because it took real work and intelligence to get it. When people like Jill Biden can get a doctorate with a barely literate excuse for a dissertation, it brings the whole institution down. Shouldn't that be exposed in the brochure in the name of full disclosure?

Bottom line is that Apple's new campus will be a huge win for North Carolina. The increased tax revenue and Apple's spending on infrastructure far outweighs the roughly $20M per year tax reimbursements.

That's not the bottom line. The bottom line is whether this $20M being used to lower taxes for EVERYONE would have been a better net gain. The bottom line is does this create a moral hazard by giving Apple a major tax break that is not available to every other company. The bottom line is that this is a corrupt practice.
