Many reason were articulated, including the threat on an immediate attack on the US. That reason ran counter to defense assessments. Also, the reasons and goals stated by Trump (“President of Peace” and inaugural awardee of the FIFA peace prize), Rubio, and Hegseth have not been consistent.

Was the reason to open the Strait that was already open, prevent an attack, to prevent Iran from making a nuclear weapon, or to change a regime?

They had like $16B in revenue last year, half from Starlink.

That’s just money in the door and the underwriters seem to think the business is worth $1.75T.

Any reference that you can point to on the housing shortage being due to preference?

It seems like job location, compensation, average cost of living, and commute would play a fairly large role.

Saw bits of that interview.

Lonsdale comes off as a ‘yes’ man for the wagon he’s hitched his fortunes to.

When in doubt, he’ll suggest tons of fraud, but offer no substance, and Sorkin just lets his guests speak.

May I suggest a fifth possibility: your core assumption is flawed and your professor hasn’t been paying attention.

Unless your college is failing, it is hard to believe that the student population hasn’t changed significantly over the last 30 years, when the US population has almost grown by 30%.

I attended UCI over 25 years ago. The student population has since more than doubled. Tuition rates, interestingly have also almost doubled.

Because SAT scores, alone, tell you nothing about a candidate outside of their ability to completely that test.

It is different. Cost plus allows the contractors to charge for development and add a profit margin.

The corporate equivalent would be a fixed price contract, which has overhead built in and far exceeds university rates.

Wouldn’t you expect some sort of forensic accountant leading an audit of a multi trillion dollar organization?
