DAILY DELIBERATIONS 2 JANUARY 2025

Colleges and universities in the United States could be facing a crisis as they struggle to meet enrollment numbers due to increase in tuition costs, declining birthrates and the rise of alternate career paths. You don’t say. Let’s look at what’s drivin’ that train – especially since the 7th of October, 2023. Many of these colleges have chosen to allow raghead lovin’ students and agitators to invade their campuses. Not the best advertisement for the serious student looking for a distraction-free educational experience. Is it any wonder bright high school graduates in increasing numbers are questioning whether or not to attend one of these liberal-thought factories? The smart ones are considering their options. For example, the average registered nurse makes $95,000 a year, and it only requires a two-year Associate’s Degree to get there – not goin’ into debt to the tune of  $142,000 that the average Bachelor’s Degree costs.

OREGON OBSERVATIONS.1 31 DECEMBER 2024

In 17 years, Oregon sees 91% spike in homelessness. US homelessness up 18% as affordable housing remains out of reach for many people. Reports consistently blame the lack of affordable housing as the reason more of the American population is living in a tent under a bridge. I, for one, have a different spin on it. Here’s the problem: If a person didn’t pay attention during their K-12 years (or stay in school period) and accumulate the required knowledge to eventually achieve an employable skill of some sort, it wouldn’t matter HOW much housing was available, the person living on handouts couldn’t afford it. As long as bleedin’ heart Democrats are handing out welfare payments like they’re candy, they’ll never afford a place to live outside of a government housing project of some sort. Currently, you’re probably hearing talk of limiting the number of H-1B1 work visas available to bright, foreign-born applicants that industry needs. How about providing incentives and changing the American mindset to encourage excellence in ANY educational endeavor or technical training? If we spent as much time celebrating mental prowess as we do jocks and prom queens, this country wouldn’t need to import as much brainpower from overseas.
