@EagleEdMartin @EagleEdMartin, Brother Thomas’ dissent in Kelo vs New London is a Civil Rights masterpiece against Progressivism’s government overreach.

@EagleEdMartin @EagleEdMartin: Then-candidate @realDonaldTrump’s strong and vocal support of Kelo almost cost him my support during the 2016 primaries.

If the day ends in a "Y" @JonhKonrad is bitching about something.
Today's whining?
"I live in the People's Republic of Taxachusetts and Marc Andreesen says my kid with great grades can't get into an 'elite' private university."

@JohnKonrad, what would you do if I told you there is another alternative; and if you play *your* cards right, your kid can go to one of the very top Engineering schools for FREE, without even paying some "consultant?"
2/🧵
@johnkonrad @JohnKonrad, pack the moving van and move to Georgia: Savannah annd Lake Lanier are nice.
Our public universities—Including @GeorgiaTech (enrollment >54,250) —have two sets of admission standards: In-state and out-of-state, as 50% of enrollment MUST be in-state by statute.

With the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) & USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) moved to CENTCOM plus these C-17 flights, it’s Showtime at The Apollo, folks.

As @CherylWroteIt pointed out above & @Mercoglianos points out below, it’s Showtime at The Apollo.

@MonicaLMarks @MonicaLMarks, you unintentionally have shown your comprehensive ignorance for STEM education and Engineering colleges selecting students: Raw numbers matter for the *statistically proven* Projected Grade Point Average (PGPA).
1/🧵
@MonicaLMarks @MonicaLMarks, let me ask you this, as we welcome @Zach_Yadegari to @GeorgiaTech with our 54,300 students:
Would YOU board a jetliner where the Engineer who designed it believed 2+2=5?
We admit, and weed out, as there is No Such Thing as a “Gentleman’s C” here.
2/🧵
@MonicaLMarks @zach_yadegari @GeorgiaTech @MonicaLMarks, let me give you a clue on selecting STEM students: We use *OBJECTIVE* criteria for rolling admissions; and the only time we look at “statements” is in marginal cases.
Look at the @USNews rankings:

Welcome Aboard @Zach_Yadegari!

@JoshFL321 & @DefiyantlyFree: @JamesMiltonjoy1
is correct. It’s called an “Excise Tax;” and it’s a “Value Added Tax” as in Europe. It would be MINIMUM 25% here, on top of State & local sales taxes. Exempting food—like many States do—makes it more progressive. 1/🧵
@JoshFL321 & @DefiyantlyFree: Not only would a Value Added Tax—VAT—be on goods, but also services. Comparing to Britain at 20%, they spend 10.9% of GDP on health care, while we spend 17.6% of GDP, 6.9% just on Medicare & Medicaid alone. 2/🧵
@JoshFL321 @DefiyantlyFree @JoshFL321 & @DefiyantlyFree: During the 2012 election campaign, my now-deceased friend Herman Cain proposed his 9-9-9 plan (devised by @RichLowrie), eliminating all deductions: 9% national sales (excise) tax, 9% income tax, 9% corporate tax. 3/🧵

@hsu_steve @DavidPGoldman, the H-1B debate is in four broad classes:
1) University eggheads like @Hsu_Steve & @GrahamTAllison (below) pontificating from the ivory tower: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1872856…
My reply to Allison:
threadreaderapp.com/thread/1872865… 1/🧵
@hsu_steve @davidpgoldman @GrahamTAllison @DavidPGoldman, the second group of H-1B commenters are from older victims like myself and Karen @KWStewart94, who supported @realDonaldTrump as “OG #MAGA”
[Old Guard or Original Gangster]

Here is Karen’s story: @KWStewart94: 2/🧵
@hsu_steve @davidpgoldman @GrahamTAllison @kwstewart94 @realDonaldTrump @DavidPGoldman & @GavinWax, the 3rd group of H-1B commenters are inside reports such as from @treblewoe & @StClairAshley.

@GrahamTAllison @GrahamTAllison, first off, you are conflating the O-1 Visa for “Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement” for the “top 0.1%” with the H-1B visa, which is for average talent, for coders and bookkeepers.
