I initially thought that we could all just mask up for the next pandemic and be cool which Magatards died off but then I realized that banning the public sale of N95 masks is probably on the agenda.
A guy I knew freshman year was salutatorian with a low B average. He had a graduating class of 7. I guess he got the free tuition state universities gave valedictorians and salutatorians back then.
They release EA decision on 2/1. Attended the scholarship zoom call a few weeks ago. They basically don’t give shit because out of state applications are sky high and willing to pay full price. IIRC, the number she threw out was like $7,500 max merit aid.
My kid just got her 12th acceptance to UMass and they gave her a $14,000 merit scholarship.
She's 12/12 with only CU-Boulder outstanding. She's received $175,419 in cumulative merit scholarships at the 12 schools.
Maybe she underestimated the schools she could get accepted to or maybe I should go into college counseling as a side hustle.
It'll be prison labor working the farms. Who wants to pay a Mexican migrant worker $10/hour when you can pay a prisoner $0.25/hour? Jesus, think of the stockholders you libtard communist.
I'd be surprised if the average is below two. I'm across Burnet in Allandale and I wouldn't be surprised if half of the households with kids have 3+. It's become a bit of a badge of honor to have more kids. I can't even think of a classmate in my kid's grade that was an only child. I can name two dozen that were one of 3 - 5 siblings.
Also, Crestview & Brentwood are denser now that many single family lots now having 2 stand alone on each lot.
And then there will be a space shortage.
This is no fucking different than rash decisions to close urban schools due to declining enrollment without looking at neighborhood demographics. A good example is Brentwood Elementary. It was on the chopping block 25 years ago due to being at 50% capacity. My wife grew up in that hood and back then she said there were no kids and all the neighbors were over 60. Their kids had aged out of the schools but empty nesters were still living in their own homes. Luckily, AISD decided against closing it and once the neighborhood housing turned over to the next generation, the school was so overcapacity they tore it down and built a school twice the original size.
Don’t do cellulose. Get the Owens Corning Atticat product from Home Depot. You add half of the compressed block to the hopper and blow it in like cellulose. It’s really easy and no mess. My wife loaded the hopper while I spread it in the attic. We did 20 bags in about 2 hours.
I think I'd rather have adequate insurance coverage and no attachments to inanimate objects in my house than stand around next to a fuel filled generator while a raging inferno quickly surrounds me and my limp dick sprayer.
