Not so surprising. The term "college" isn't really standard in the US. Does this included regionally accredited schools? Technical colleges?

There are close to 10k technical schools that could be considered a "college" using a liberal definition.

Finance.

It’s pretty much exactly what you think. Spreadsheets, vest and stimulants.

Yeah I once believed it was the Vets who were pushing useless meds/vaccines. Then a Lady clued me in.

Then there was COVID and a new strain of Flu every year.

I'm slow but I eventually catch on.

I wonder how much of that shift is a function of the "everyone must go to college" canard. In the 80's about 20-30% of our best and brightest high school graduates enrolled in a 4 year university after high school. Now its pushing 70%.

And high school grade inflation and the tidal wave of applicants under student loan programs and state tuition assistance programs have allowed universities to "be more selective" on paper, and pretend as though the standards are higher, but we all know they are not. Now, they want to do away with the SAT and ACT altogether because of muh equity bias.

Lower the standards and let way more people in, and the average IQ of the student population goes down.

I don’t actually know every single interaction, dose, etc. off the top of my head. That’s what the computer programs are for.

Dumb people are dumb, but many are genuinely honest. Smart, or self proclaimed smart, people do the dumbest things for reasons that most people can't comprehend. Evil people i.e. mean people, are evil and there's no getting past that fact. Lastly, since this topic is about law enforcement, if traffic tickets were not longer issued 90% of the problems the public has with law enforcement would disappear. More people would die or get injured but people would have a more favorable view of the police.

A lot of straight guys get into the porn industry by doing gay scenes.

Wow, that's interesting. So the crazies that advocate against eating grocery store produce are full of it.

I would not jump to that conclusion. My guess is that we are evolved to digest the natural pesticides more so than the artificial ones, but that is just a guess.
