I say this with no exaggeration: this is the funniest fucking thing he’s ever said.
Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.
The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history.
We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

I don't disagree that the US university business model was/is fragile, but surely not for this reason?

I just finished Iris Murdoch’s The Sea, The Sea. John Kennedy Toole did a good job also creating an untrustworthy narrator. What other books have protagonists like this? #booksky
