+ 22 Billion. Which is Penn’s endowment.

As of June 30, 2024, the University of Pennsylvania's endowment was valued at $22.3 billion. This makes it the sixth-wealthiest private academic institution in the United States

Dim wit

Who make all the innovations that MAG?

This is what happens when people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

When the bill is being paid by taxpayers yet these schools all have massive endowments that don’t pay taxes, yeah I have an issue with that.

And the world will not collapse is there are few less History and English PhDs.

There are vast amounts of actual innovations thst some out of these universities. A mediocre nobody like you can understand thst. It's not just history and English. What's your background?

This makes me wonder, too. High cost of living, elderly and poor stripped of care, preventable diseases spreading like wildfire, dwindling opportunities for self-advancement….what exactly is great?

If private institutions can start drawing on their endowment and use it to fund research and operations, how long will that last? Meaning, if these private institutions were able to privately fund what the government did, how many years of funding would they have left?

one thing is for sure. the left wont hesitate to call the right idiots and uneducated. Yet - majority of country voted for him. So the majority are dumb? plenty of smart people - especially rich smart people who came from the schools mentioned did in fact vote for him as kamala and biden were abject disasters

Please do research. It's not a fact that the majority of the country did not vote for Trump. At least 1/3 of eligible voters stayed home and did not vote at all. Of the remaining roughly 2/3 of eligible voters who did vote, Trump won a plurality (49%), not a majority of the popular vote. He did get 2 million more votes than Harris (Trump got 77 million, Harris got 75 million). By the way, the record for most votes ever cast for President in history was Joe Biden (81 million, and he achieved a majority of 51% popular vote too.)

You are missing the forest for the trees. And exhibiting basic mathematical incompetence. If 100% of population voted, it would have been in line with the percentage he won which is 49.8%. That additional 0.21% that he needs to say majority of votes is not the frekin point.

The main point is Trump won 49.8% of the votes. After the events of Jan 6 and after election denials, after all the nonsense.

Why?

It is not because 49.8% of the voters are stupid.

DO but that’s not how statistics works, especially when you know the categorical difference is a non-interest in voting. You can’t extrapolate from outside your sample, it’s literally Stats 101.

You can't extrapolate out Trump's win. And he's doing a darn good job of making sure more people turn out for the next election pissed off at him.

Better crank up your propaganda machine. It's going to be tough to claim that people are better off at the tail of Trump's term

Penn has an endowment of $22 billion. If not another penny was added to it, it would take 110 years to spend $22 billion at an annual rate of $200 million.

But, this is going to hurt the future of our country. We will decline in innovation even more than we had before and our manufacturing base will erode even further. I guess everyone can try to work at Walmart.

No change is good.

Trump
Is an idiot.
Huge difference.
SCIENCE ???

Next up
For women no interstate travel you think that bodes well for women in the workforce or college??
Next up for women no vaccines that’s right they are coming for that as well?
Project 2025 “ men head of households” what do you not understand about how that affects women going to college??

$200 million might cover the NIH overhead cut,but not reduced NIH grants and . Hopkins lost $800 million USAID funding for infectious disease research, Penn does some of that work also. Then add in endowment tax, Medicaid cuts, student loan cuts, etc .. . .

It’s not a high horse. Your allergy to facts doesn’t make something pretentious. You’re not always right and can be wrong, deal with it. Nothing I said couldn’t have been found in a high school stats course.

Universities are the biggest source of innovative new inventions/treatments, etc

There are vast amounts of actual innovations thst some out of these universities. A mediocre nobody like you can understand thst. It's not just history and English. What's your background?
