졸업식에서 학자금 대출 115억 전액 상환 레전드
26년 5월, 미국 윌슨 섬유대 졸업식에서 나온
역대급 선물. 연사로 나선 아닐 코차르가 예고도
없이 폭탄 선언을 했다.
"나와 내 아내는 오늘, 우리 아버지를 기리는
마음으로 올해 졸업생 전원의 4학년 학자금
대출을 전액 상환하기로 했습니다"
순간 졸업식장은 그야말로 난리가 났고,
이 발표로 202명의 졸업생이 빚 없이
사회에 첫발을 내디딜 수 있게 되었다.
이미 그는 2달 전부터 115억 규모의 펀드를
조성하며 이 날을 위해 몰래 준비를 해왔던 것.
그의 아버지 프라카시 찬드 코차르는 1946년,
인도에서 미국으로 건너온 초기 유학생이었는데,
당시 노스캐롤라이나 주립대 역사상 두 번째 인도인
학생으로서 척박한 환경을 견뎌내며 가문의 기반을
닦았던 사람.
자신의 아버지가 겪었던 고단한 유학 시절의
무게를 알기에, 아닐은 이 졸업생들에게
'학자금의 굴레'를 벗겨주었고,
"이제 더 큰 자유를 가지고 마음껏 도전하며
자신의 삶을 개척하세요." 라는 말을 남겼다.
단순히 돈을 준것 뿐만 아니라,
이제 세상에 첫 발을 내딛는 이들에게
가장 값진 응원이자 어른의 플렉스였다.

Un professore di economia di una scuola superiore aveva dichiarato che nessuno degli studenti del suo corso era mai stato bocciato, ma si è recentemente ritrovato a far bocciare un'intera classe.
Tutta la classe aveva insistito nel dire che il socialismo funziona e che, di conseguenza, nessuno sarebbe stato né povero né ricco. Un mezzo egualitario eccezionale.
Allora il profesoore annunciò: "OK, faremo allora un piccolo esperimento di classe. Al prossimo compito in classe, farò la media di tutti i vostri voti e ve lo assegnerò. Avrete tutti lo stesso voto, nessuno riceverà un'insufficienza né prenderà un dieci".
Dopo il primo scritto fu fatta la media dei voti e tutti ottennero un 7. Quelli che avevano studiato molto erano delusi, quelli che avevano studiato poco erano contenti.
Nel secondo compito in classe, quelli che avevano studiato poco studiarono meno e quelli che avevano studiato tanto decisero di seguire la strada dei loro compagni furbetti studiando poco. La media del secondo esame fu un 4. Nessuno era contento.
Al terzo compito in classe, la media fu 2. Nel corso dei successivi esami i voti non migliorarono mai. Cominciò a crescere il nervosismo e gli scambi di accuse, gli insulti colorivano le conversazioni e tutti vissero male quella situazione. Nessuno volle studiare a beneficio degli altri. A grande sorpresa di tuta l'intera classe fu bocciata.
Fu allora che il professore affermò che il socialismo era il viatico del fallimento, poiché quando la ricompensa è grande, l'impegno nel riuscire è altrettanto grande. Ma quando lo Stato elimina ogni possibilità di premio, nessuno offrirà il proprio impegno né vorrà ottenere successo. Non potrebbe essere più semplice.

@Will_Tanner_1 Watch the crazy eyed, smirking, supercilious judge sentence Thao the maximum prison time, even admonishing him for referencing the bible.

It’s chaos in Yosemite National Park
This is the first summer since Yosemite stopped using their reservation system
There have been almost 100,000 more visitors than this time last year
It’s so crowded the lines of cards are hours long and people are parking illegally in the meadows that are supposed to be protected
“The line of cars goes on and on and on, all waiting to get into Yosemite National Park. People were waiting for like at least hour and a half and once you're inside, the waiting isn't over”
By 7.30 am parking can already be at capacity
“The entire park, it was impossible to park. There's nowhere to park for anybody. Waiting to find parking, waiting to get on the shuttle — With many getting impatient and just illegally parking wherever they could. There are people pulling onto meadows, pulling off pavement, going off-road”
“Environmental Resource Center says it was at least better than this. Without any limits the amount of vehicles, amount of people, it becomes overwhelmed. He believes the decision was good for business, not for the environment”
You can’t even take the shuttles they’re so packed, I found:
Shuttles are overwhelmed, trails including Half Dome cables are jammed, and congestion is constant. Park staff and environmental groups say it’s harming sensitive meadows and wildlife habitat
There is no daily cap on vehicles during peak summer hours
Many park employees, over 300 signed a petition, environmental groups, and former staff criticize the decision as prioritizing crowds over visitor experience
Go back to a strict reservation system. There are way too many people

These quick thoughts by Michael Jochum on the disturbing reason Trump gets as much support as he does is a must-read 👇
I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.
I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.
If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.
If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.
If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.
It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.
Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”
And that’s the part that should chill us.
Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?
Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.
Now the mask is off. Now we know.
And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.
