S&P 500? That’s an interesting ask considering teachers pension/tenure funds and administrative 401ks are all probably in there.

I can understand that people hold their college as some part of their soul and want their universities actions to reflect their political beliefs. But, I don’t think universities (as an entity) should be involved politically or have political opinions.
I still believe the university benefits from government funding since NSF, NIST, DoD etc are all agencies funding university research. I don’t think it’s possible to un-fund yourself completely from the government given that it spurs research everywhere.
Yes, anti-BDS laws. These were passed years ago (not reactionary to now). There are state and federal rules but in general, a university can’t boycott or divest from Israeli (or many other nations) in political protest or it loses funding.
I think this is why we see most universities have their hands tied.
Aren’t there laws that prevent Universities from doing so?
I thought the whole reason universities had their hands tied were the anti-BDS law. Maybe Brown is in a state (RI) where it won’t lose state funding, but losing federal funding would be a blow to the research orgs.
Probably miss their cushy Google salary.
Oh no consequences!
You originally said that you find Portugal less ‘burdened’, I am just pointing out that that is not the case. Decriminalization takes significant amount of spending and burden for both Portugal and Portland and isn’t showing improvements in the community. If a policy isn’t making an impact it’s not a working policy: this experiment has been alive in Portugal for over 20 years. Feel free to look at more sources, or provide proof that it does work, I’m all ears.
I have heavy drug users in my family. Giving them access to more supply and mobility to shoot up whenever they want isn’t going to help them. They don’t think that way.
Aside from being there many times and seeing the problem first-hand here are a few articles:
The idea that decriminalization leads to less hard drug usage is seen to have an initial positive effect (which could be why you had previously thought it was better) but unfortunately has led to a larger unmaintainable drug problema:
The number of Portuguese adults who reported prior use of illicit adult drugs rose from 7.8% in 2001 to 12.8% in 2022 — still below European averages but a significant rise nonetheless. Overdose rates now stand at a 12-year high and have doubled in Lisbon since 2019.
Check Portland, OR. Not going so great now. The drugs nowadays are synthetic and designed to be addictive to most people. Decriminalizing them isn’t going to get them off the streets and stop people from getting hooked.
Idk, look at Portugal. Full drug legalization is not doing too hot.
BG4 is going to be BGOnline 😂
If you look up Zied Aouina (issue creator), he’s a principal SWE at MS. Seems within his power to read the codebase and figure out his question if he claims he can’t find the documentation.
It’s also harder to invest with the amount of funds that Berkshire Hathaway has. The slippage must be a difficult task to manage. Also, they have to make more than 20% because they have to payout the employees and guarantee growth for the investors.
Stimulus checks caused one of the best stock booms of this decade then immediately we had inflation. I don’t think stimulus checks are a well understood phenomenon
This is the comment. News like this propagates the way it’s supposed to on social media without enough people pointing out this happens time and time again
Finalllllyyy
Well at least they have downvotes 😂
Who was the person that was erased to the left of Nancy Pelosi?
Are there any show people here than can confirm 7-10 pairs of shoes are $20k? I find that hard to believe
He was re-elected because he won the war and was a good leader at the time, nothing really to do with socialism. He navigated a depression for the American people and they loved him for it
