@Govindtwtt No one made them go $50k into debt. And, be real. NO ONE has ever had job security the way you're talking about it.

@micah_erfan Too bad this support is being driven by Leftist lies about the Constitution.

@TheDemocrats Why is the mantra by @TheDemocrats always "Tax the Rich"? Why is it NEVER "Cut Spending"?

@salimforva Showing he hates the Constitution without saying he hates the Constitution.

One person. One vote.
Anything else is un-democratic.

I'd like to see research on the % of men in their 20s who say they are currently ready and willing to have children.
Wendy Wang, Ph.D.@WendyRWang
The real U.S. fertility story is the massive drop in fertility among women in their 20s. The birth rate for women in their 20s has fallen nearly 40% over the past two decades. This is the group that has carried the most weight in determining the direction of the overall fertility rate. As we all know, women's prime fertility window is in their 20s, not 30s or 40s. Relying on women to catch up their fertility in their 40s is not going to help much. @FamStudies:

@Jordan_C_Adams Great idea. Until you figure out the teachers have no control over student accountability thanks to district policies.
- Absences-don't matter.
- Behavior-doesn't matter.
- Class work-doesn't matter.
- Teachers unions-want to keep bad teachers
Fix the above and we can talk.

Merit-based pay for teachers is how you attract, reward, and retain the best-of-the-best in k-12 education.
Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”@MrDanielBuck
If (and this is a big if) we grant that teachers are underpaid, setting a minimum salary seems like entirely the wrong incentive structure What about the 30-year, accomplished veteran? Upscale the top end of the income spectrum and reward experience and excellence

@ewarren How about paying down the debt? Quit spending money you don't have.

A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue.
That could pay for:
Universal childcare
Millions of new homes
Slashing child poverty
Medicare for people aged 55+
Universal paid family leave
Tuition-free community college
And more.

@nickimoraa Fine. Do it. A 900 sf house. 2 beds. 1 bath. No garage. No 21st century toys. I dare you to buy a house like that, cause that's what they bought.
English
Hot take:
I shouldn’t have to buy a cheap duplex or “starter home” that doesn’t suit my needs to get into the housing market. I should just be able to buy a reasonably priced home with a good yard and a few bedrooms like my grandparents did and keep it forever.

@Emolclause You lost all credibility when you typed "NPR reports..."
English
#BREAKING: Velshi: “NPR reports that cracks are forming inside the military driven by low morale, ethical unease and a growing number of service members choosing to retire early, declining to re-enlist, or walking away from their contracts regardless of the consequences…The GI Rights Hotline…has seen call volume more than double since the #Iran war began. The majority of callers are asking about conscientious objecting…”😳

If you were the Big-12 Commissioner and needed to bring 2-4 new schools in to the conference, which ones would you choose?🏈
English
@ericmmatheny Wrong. This is the parents' job. Not the school's. If a student can't behave in school, they shouldn't be allowed back until they can.
English
Social skills should be a mandatory class for all American high school students.
Learn how to shake hands properly and greet somebody.
How to put your phone down while engage in conversation.
How to engage in conversation, period.
This is a critical skill we are losing.

@iiTzz_Tyrell No great work Morgan Scalley does will ever overcome the toxicity and vile nature of the Utah fanbase. That will take a miracle. Scalley's predecessor had a chance for years and pissed it away.
English
Many BYU accounts are struggling with confliction because they like Morgan Scalley. (REALLY like him)
I believe it’s only a matter of time before that contagious energy Scalley has will convert many fans over to Utah.
Morgan Scalley is building something on the hill, now is the time to join the train before it leaves 🙌😉

@DemzDeliver With the decreasing value of college, this is just another Democrat boondoggle.

🚨 New Mexico has become the first state to make public universities tuition free for all.
Nearly every state Republican tried to block this change.

I trust Governor Little and the Idaho Legislature on this one. And I'm a teacher.

@mark_hokie You failed by including Utah over BYU. That one move alone proves you've no idea what you're talking about.

What if, instead of a full-on merger, the ACC and Big XII formed a new conference composed of the "best" program from each state, plus a bonus from FL, TX, and CA? It might look like this:

@Tanyaelisabeth And they all hate men, hate the family, hate religion, and hate everything that made this country what it is.

“Never depend on a man”
“Focus on getting a degree/career/money not a husband”
“Have kids later, you’ll have time”
“Break the rules, you can do anything you want”
Or some other silly little version of this same nonsense. These were the empty platitudes we were all given, and we followed them, that’s what every adult, every magazine, every teacher, every “empowered woman” told us was the path.
And what do we have to show for it?
Oh, just the most miserable generation of women to ever walk the earth.

The amount of taxes my husband and I have to pay this year between property tax, income tax, gas tax, sales tax, and all the other taxes is so completely insane I can't believe we aren't burning down the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board knowing that 99% of this money that we can't use for our own family is being sent to the local fraud rings, the thieving homeless industry, and the NGO-Democrat criminals who are bleeding the last few normal people dry.
If anyone thinks I am going to start voting for the party who want to INCREASE taxes and impoverish us further: um, no.

@jonbrooks Lower the price morons. It's all unrecognized gains. But, y'all are too greedy to let some of it go.

Only 3.2% of boomers are true millionaires.
The rest?
Their entire net worth is locked inside their house.
And they can't get it out — because no one can afford to buy it.
That's not a retirement plan.
That's a trap.
English
@phil_lyman No, @GovCox and the legislature are anti-family. And the Utah GOP doesn't have the guts to do the right thing, as opposed to the financially expedient thing for themselves.
English
Utah families are taxed so heavily they can't afford children, and are forced to pay without their consent for frankenstein social engineering importing 270,000 people.
Between H-1B visa taking IT jobs of native college graduates, immigration inflation increasing the price of homes so first time home buyers are age 40, parents are seeing their children and grandchildren forced out of state from bad policies.
Utax is anti-family.
Just Phil Lyman@phil_lyman
🚨Utah's housing crisis is crushing young people. It now takes the average household 14.2 years to save for a 10% down payment on a median home, far worse than many states and a brutal reality for Millennials and Gen Z. Skyrocketing prices, chronic housing shortages, explosive population growth, and heavy regulations have made homeownership nearly impossible for young Utahns. Most are locked out, stuck renting forever while watching the American Dream slip away in their own state. Utah is failing its next generation.
