Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer pay tuition thanks to a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies announced Monday.
Starting in the fall, the donation will cover full tuition for medical students from families earning less than $300,000. Living expenses and fees will be covered for students from families who earn up to $175,000.
I knew Lemmy could spin this into a negative. I was counting on it.
True, we should instead just celebrate this small one-off victory and forget the systemic issues that plague us. As long as the billionaires throw us a rare bone, we can leave the guillotines at home ig.
You mean we cannot selebrate the small victories and continue working for more.
Don’t be such a sith.
…so exactly like the top comment Thorny_Insight was responding to?
Nice strawman you got there. Is that binary?
Not a strawman. The comment you responded to originally acknowledged both the positive and negative sides of this. Meanwhile, you focused entirely on the negative as if we aren’t allowed to. I called you out based entirely on the words you chose to use.
