And sadly, if the Dems do retake the House, this is the exact reason they'll claim any indictment is a witch hunt. Dems should be in full on protest mode every single day. Finish every speech on the floor, no matter what topic with, "and furthermore, Trump should be indicted." Every one of them should start and finish every interview the same way. Most people don't hear about it, so they figure everything must be kosher.

    Skimmed other replies... What I didn't see...

    This quote is actually TRUE. What it doesn't capture is that it was an intentional smear campaign. People on the left knew she was a center-right Democrat in a similar vein to Biden. But on the right, no matter who runs on the left, they will ALWAYS paint the Dem opponent as too progressive, and people on the right believe it.

    That's the point.... Rather than cowing to that pressure and running people less and less progressive, run an ACTUAL progressive.

    You're absolutely right, it's not easy to do. But it's also one reason it's good to check with specific universities. What you'll find is that many try very hard to provide stipends, and if you help lead lectures you can even get an income. It's not unusual to net ~20k a year. That won't cover rent and food, but it's not bad!

    This of course is only for research degrees. Law and medical degrees will be incredibly expensive.

    So as a more detailed example, BU offers "full funding guarantee". https://www.bu.edu/grad/admission-funding/phd-funding

    You would be living tight, but you wouldn't be going into debt. Many schools offer similar programs.

    But if it's something you're seriously considering, I recommend settling on your research topic, and looking into the specific universities you're considering. Each school tends to report really good data regarding their graduate schools. Start reaching out to the professors you'd consider studying under, they generally are very responsive if you come with directed questions relevant to their area of study. From there you can work with the university admin to understand what funding options may be available to you.

    That makes sense. My problem was I had zero competitors. It was a totally new product. No one knew why they needed it, so it never attracted any consumers. If there was an established product category you can rely on organic discovery.

    And Chinese universities were already quickly catching up, and in some cases leading. That will accelerate now. All those best-and-brightest Chinese researchers have less and less motivation to come study in the US each passing day.

    As an engineer who hated marketing, started my own business, which subsequently failed due to my lack of understanding for the importance and proper execution of the marketing mission.... I now have a deep respect, and appreciation of a well-run marketing function.

    This episode would be perfect for a modern message. Captain accidentally starts falling for an AI? Doctor encouraging her to continue because it's a release since she can't have a relationship with a subordinate because it'd be improper.

    Perfect moral dilemmas for our modern day.

    But what does nutrek give us? Retread morality you can find in a kids picture book. And that's BEST CASE. More common to find action or relationship drama.

    I'm ready for Trek that's willing to make us question ourselves for what's right and wrong.
