You may ask yourself, 'Where did all my money go?' Remember when Barack Obama ruined a perfectly good scam by cracking down on for-profit colleges? Under Obama's Department of Education, "schools" that had become remarkably adept at transferring federal grants and student loans from taxpayers to their bottom line, with only minimal money wasted on "educating" their "students," suddenly found themselves being held accountable and treated like the huge scams they were? Several of the worst offenders were forced to prove they actually provided some sort of educational benefit to students -- usually poorer, less able to succeed in education, and
The bank fraudsters made off with 20% of America's wealth, much of it in real estate. The banks got bailed out at OUR expense. Not one of them -- not Jamie Dimon, not any of top management -- was criminally charged.
Madoff is the only one in prison because he didn't steal from the 99%; he stole from the 1%. And he's Jewish, of course.
I remember too. Our teacher got an urgent message, stopped class, left and returned a few minutes later with a TV and turned it on to CBS. We history unfold with Cronkite. Edit: ...We watched history unfold...
I'm a little older. JFK was assassinated when I was nine. Fourth grade. They put the announcement on the classroom intercoms. I got really angry at two of my classmates, who put their fingers under their eyes and said "we're holding back the tears" while I was crying for real. We were all sent home from school, and all saw the days-long TV coverage.
The first real portrait I ever drew was of JFK. I made white tissue flowers (no glue, I liked pipe cleaners) and sold them at a table outside a shopping center, and sent the money to Jackie's Arlington memorial fund, which IIRC paid for the Eternal Flame. She sent me a thank you card; it's still in my mother's strongbox (elder sister has the box). The only thing harder was burying my dad when I was 13.
We got sent there one by one after the nationwide aptitude tests. The guidance counselor said, "What do you want to do?" I asked, "Where are my strengths?" The answer I got was "Your lowest score was in the 96th percentile (spatial), and your language skills are 100th percentile. Do whatever you want." I dropped out.
Omg, at first I thought you meant University of Pennsylvania and thought WHAT? Then I remembered The Donald allegedly graduated from Wharton with a degree in Economics- but at least his family had the $$$ to pay for that alleged degree. Poor housekeepers don't get to coast through schools like UP.
Maura Healey is our absolutely fearless AG here in MA. (And as I recall, she's already tangled with some of these for-profit "colleges" on the state level.)Suing Trump and his cronies when their policies fuck with MA residents and businesses may very well become her favorite hobby.

...Back to "none", I'm going to guess. She's going with "none"?

Cuba's beautiful. Florida's chock full of Trump. Ergo, Cuba must die.

After years of serving as Chief Fluffer for the for-profit college scams, where is former Congressman John Kline now?
