Not true.

All the dudes creating tech send their own children to college.

They don’t let them use social media or iPads.

They discuss art and philosophy at dinner.

Not one will say the study of AI helped them become the billionaire they are now.

Don’t fall for the trick.

Woke and humanities majors are worse.

What is "woke?" Explain it to me like I'm five.

Humanities majors are the future. That's where the jobs and pay are going to be in an AI-powered economy. It's already happening.

No? I don't see a huge rise $80k+ starting positions opening up that specifically ask for humanities degrees.

I do. We are hiring for them. So our our competitors in Big Four accounting and Blue Chip consultancies.

True. I dislike how our society has slowly shifted into a low-trust environment, similar to what’s seen in some developing countries.

They Passed Over American Doctors

The biggest lie in the U.S. healthcare debate is that we do not have enough American doctors. The truth is simple. We produce them. We just refuse to train them.

In 2024 nearly 20 percent of U.S. medical school seniors failed to match into a residency. That is 8,869 qualified graduates who spent years in school, passed their boards, took on massive debt, and still never got the one thing they need to practice medicine.

At the same time more than 9,700 foreign trained doctors matched into U.S. residencies in 2025. Many hospitals prefer them because they accept lower pay, longer hours, and have no leverage to complain. You cannot practice medicine in the United States without residency. So if Americans are locked out, someone else will fill the spot.

The choke point is not medical school. It is the federally funded residency cap. Congress has not increased these slots fast enough while medical school enrollment has exploded. The result is a rigged bottleneck that leaves American doctors unmatched while taxpayer dollars train replacements from overseas.

The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 would add 14,000 residency slots over seven years. Even that will not undo years of damage, but it is proof that Washington knows the system is broken.

Until Congress expands residency slots at the scale required, the United States will keep graduating qualified doctors who never get to practice. Then hospitals will turn around and say there is a physician shortage and use it as an excuse to import more foreign labor.

It is not a shortage. It is policy.

Big facts, The NBA draft sums up America.... they want talented foreigners over Americans, black and white Americans, that can trace their ancestry to pre 1950's america need to stop fighting and realize that the globlist (not a euphemism for jewish or israel) are the real enemies

PP has me with the doctors, but you're absolutely wrong on this one. NBA drafts the most talent (combined with physicality and position need) every single time.

Bronny James anyone?

Mostly agree, but I would have written "most" rather than "all".

We both work in STEM. Our kids are having a lower tech childhood. They are reading many classics of kids literature and also about history and culture. We try to eat together and talk. No smart phones before HS.

Other families will make different choices and that also is fine.

I also am not sure about it generally. They draft on potential not necessarily on most talented at the time of the draft. They’re often wrong as a result.

Not the same. Bronny (who was 2nd highest scorer in g-league is more of an example of giving a nod to a huge donor or Baron going to NYU). The PP stated talented athletes are being passed over for Europeans suggesting that Europeans are not as qualified as American players. Any foreigner getting drafted is getting drafted on merit or potential. Not the same.

Which positions? What are they called? Which degrees do you ask for in the job description?

From my kid's experience, this has had mixed effects on campus. He attended a top 10 boarding school and now attends any Ivy-adjacent college. He's breezing through due to the rigorous preparation he received, but he notices many of the lower-income students that were admitted on their "story" are struggling and tend to have to switch out of the STEM subjects.

His freshman chemistry class in college is basically the same as his high school class. The calc class is actually easier. Some of his FGLI peers are really struggling in these courses.

My two nieces both work in tech. One was an English major from NYU and the other a Psychology major from Stetson. They do not have masters degrees. They get recruited all of the time.

The top public and private schools should be the feeders to the top schools, it makes sense

their are public colleges, where students can learn at a slower pace
