    Question for all of you; would you pay $70,000 for your child's online classes? I'm trying to advise my child whether delaying their college education makes more sense than paying a ridiculous amount of money for something which can be attained for far less. Can the university deny readmission if and when they decide to come back? I called the university and they refused to give me the answer and instead directed my child to make the call and ask the question which infuriated me even more. My vote in CA won't matter and I feel this is a small way in which I can make cowards pay for their illogical decisions to harm my family. What say you?

    What’s her major?
    Marketing and she'll be a Junior. She is currently out of state finishing up a great internship which was going to lead to another at a major ad agency in NY next year. How much does the name of her university mean on the diploma as she competes for that first job out of college?

    If she’s already getting great internships she’s halfway in the game. Non-STEM degrees make me leery, as my oldest daughter is a HS senior this fall and we’ve been touring schools. Tough call. That’s a shitload of money for an online undergrad experience. Glad I don’t have to make it for a year. Good luck!

    I wish there was a way to see productively by state, I have a feeling the colors might get polarized

    The reality is that the economy is fucked and will be for years but the 70-80 year-old politicians who are set for life are arguing about HCQ and wearing masks as the focus of this election. Now goggles, too. Burn it all down as a system so our kids and grandkids have a shot.

    Maybe AOC is onto something in her own obnoxious way.

    I no longer take it personally when I hear that boomers need to die off to save the country. Could be true. Of course the worthless pieces of shit that we raised need to go too

    Not even close. I won't stand for a rewrite of history

    Online? Thank a boomer. The 80's and the 90's? Boomer sooner

    The issue is the lack of anyone to get the old fucks out now
