I just listened to damn near the same statement from someone in the flesh. I am at a motorcycle race. Ran into the same guy I talked to at the same race 2-3 years ago. He was insisting that I watch a Q video, and it was very dramatic. I knew it was all bs. Here we are a couple years later and he had to admit things are not meeting his expectations, or even mine as someone who questions everything.
Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

Bill, we all do it. Nobody has ever proven that there are or were litter boxes in schools. Or that THEY'RE EATING THE CATS, THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS!!!!

Just took this pic. Every Saturday this tribe of old white liberal females stands on the same corner convincing people they suffer from TDS.
Wonder if they are winning over any minds?
Same bat shit crazy’s insisted we shouldn’t be allowed in public without a jab. They weren’t there today but I’ve seen masked Branch Covidians protesting with them in the summer heat.

Looks like flea market for psychiatrists.

Some may think living in rural Iowa is boring, but at least I never see any of that kind of thing and covid was mostly a non-issue. Good deer hunting is just a bonus.

Protesting is what makes them feel good and it's protected. I'd be very tempted to protest right along with them. Maybe even stand amongst their little herd. I'd probably try to do it in a way that they couldn't read my sign until they put effort into getting in front of me to see it. They wouldn't like what they read. It would be great fun after that point!

No, WE don't all do it. You guys bring up all this low intelligence stuff. .I won't even get into the 2 things you brought up except to say neither of those are conspiracy theories. Even though you are dead wrong on one of them, I know from first hand experience. Let's talk actual conspiracies. Like Russia gate, like COVID on the whole, the Clinton's, the Obama's it goes on and on. Don't want to talk about that cause it doesn't fit a narrative

He tried to get me banned? I don’t think so, I think he just didn’t get it but will if he looks again.

Trump to allow 600,000 Chinese students entry to US for college as trade talks with China press on
“We’re going to allow their students to come in. It’s very important, 600,000 students. It’s very important. But we’re going to get along with China,” Trump said…

An inconvenient and little known truth about higher ed is that it relies on international students. They often pay 2-3X what in-state students do and in cash for public universities. Those 600,000 students are worth billions in revenue in tuition alone, let alone all of the other expenses college kids pay.

There's two types of college students from foreign countries; those who work their way here to get an education, and those who come from extremely wealthy families who want their kid to have that "title" behind their name when they move back. There is a lot of power and leverage from around the world to get their kids into American college.
No single voter is going to get everything they want. No, I dont get the point of letting 600,000 chicoms into our country to go to school. But I will take 600,000 vetted, money toting chicoms over 10,000,000 unvetted, illegal immigrants sucking off the govt tit funded by our money.

Even if they go home they now have a world class education where they can apply what they’ve learned to try and destroy us. Go to the university of Nigeria if you want to leave china. Don’t come here. Period

I have a different perspective as someone that works at a university that relies on international students for the revenue they bring in. Increasing costs in higher ed are certainly a hot-button issue, but I don't think it is an exaggeration to say the situation would be cataclysmic if universities suddenly had to make up the difference. It's a much more complex issue than I think people realize. Decreased funding from states or the federal government, combined with increased spending on amenities, administrative bloat, and non-academic ventures like athletics would almost certainly mean pricing out affordable University education for many or most Americans. I would bet the vast majority faculty, staff, and students would admit fewer international students if they could. Larger class sizes, over-crowded residence and dining halls, and language and cultural barriers are things that immediately come to mind for directly affecting everyone at a university today.
Most international students have visas (F1, J1, etc) that do not permit them to work even when they are students, let alone after they finish their degrees. They typically can get a waiver to stay a few extra months after graduating, but they still need an employer sponsor, which is very rare. Some like those on J1s are even required to return to their country.
Personally, I don't see this as sustainable. Many countries like China have been dumping all kinds of money into their own Universities and have been recruiting the better Chinese scientists to return home and prop up their own higher Ed. I don't think it will happen anytime soon, but if the prestige of a US education wears off, it is going to hurt us in more ways than one.
