Universities do much more than just educate undergraduates. Professors at major universities are paid highly because they bring in grant $ and prestige based on their research appointments - not their teaching appointments.
Guess who pays for it. You're not making the point you think you're making.

Europeans will be burning wood for warmth this winter as reality kicks in and these idiots find out the hard way that renewable energy is still decades away.
The reason Europe is struggling with energy prices is because 40% of Europe's energy comes from Russian oil and natural gas. Therefore when it's cut off, Europe has lost its main energy supplier and prices go up as supply is low.
How does Europe achieve energy independence without renewables? There are no stores of gas and oil in Europe that come close to matching Russia's reserves.
Europe doesn't need to be energy independent it just needed to not be dependent on Russia which is it's primary geopolitical threat.
Trump warned Europe about this. They laughed at him.
Now Europeans will die this winter because of leftist arrogance and ignorance.
Joe you really are blowing it here. Canceling $10,000 worth of student debt per borrower? You just look silly. This is the type of thing which encourages irresponsibility. You blew it Joe.
Can you point us towards your posts about Congressmen getting PPP loans forgiven and farmers being paid not to farm?
Even more fun is the fact that you're too stupid to understand that I was right.
I predicted Russia would win the war.
Europe is about to spend a winter burning wood to stay warm. Ukraine can't do anything to expel Russia from its territory and the Russian economy is doing just fine.
Europe is going to cave and sacrifice Ukraine to the wolves and the result will be what I predicted from the outset and even after it happens you will be too dumb to understand why.

Yes you did in “five days, tops” HAS IT BEEN FIVE DAYS YET?

So how does Europe go about not being dependent on Russia without renewables?
You want them to buy gas and oil from Saudi Arabia or the US? They can do that now, there's no leftists demanding energy has to be imported from Russia.

Russia isn't the only country in the world that can sell Europe gas.
There's also more options than just renewables and gas.
They're literally burning coal again in Germany now because they were so forward thinking...
When I heard the news I got physically nauseous from knowing the sacrifices I've made the past 2 years working my a$$ off and using my life savings to pay off my student loan debt as early as possible. And missed out on $10k as a result. And now, I am burdened by the tax debt of $1 trillion for those who have their debts forgiven. Unbelievable.

Here is the good news. YOU don't have to pay back the $1 trillion. This is just a number on a spreadsheet.
College is so expensive because "enlightened" leftists like yourself decided it wasn't fair that people with no money couldn't afford to go.
You injected the federal government in to subsidize the loans so 18 years with nothing could suddenly be approved for $250,000 loans.
Then the enlightened leftists like yourself at the schools said "Hey! These students can get $250,000 loans now! We can charge whatever the hell we want!"
Now the average professor makes $150k a year and teaches 3 classes a week and the country has $1.7 TRILLION in student loan debt.
Great job "fixing" affordability in higher education.
Wanting to expand access to higher education is a "leftist" position now? Leveraging banks and having people fund their own education via borrowing is a "leftist" policy approach? All university administrators looking to jack up tuition costs are "leftists"?
This is completely incoherent. It's fun to play pretend, though!

And that sort of thinking is exactly why limited government is absolutely essential to the survival of America.
Once enough morons who think it's all monopoly money get into power the country is over.
Morons who think like this caused the runaway inflation we have. Hamburger buns buns are $5. Ground meat is $13. Normal people are already paying for this stupidity.

The consequences of leftist stupidity are what they are. You're literally pretending what happened didn't happen while smugly denying reality.
It is a disease of the tiny leftist mind that they all seem to think only they have good intentions.
Destroying people's lives doesn't make you a good person even if you meant well.
Are you actually denying that colleges and university officials are primary of the left?

None of what you're saying is coherent. Of course other countries can supply Europe with energy but the fact is Russia has, that's got nothing to do with the increase in renewable energy. How is it the fault of leftists that want to use renewables? If renewables supply Europe with 20% energy that's 20% they don't have to buy from Russia and 20% that hasn't experienced a huge hike in prices due to the Ukraine war.

Europe willingly put itself under Russia's thumb.
Germany dismantled their nuclear reactors and then spent 2 TRILLION Euros to make their grid fully renewable. Then they learned the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow in Germany.
This made them even more dependent on Russia.
Russia is now going to exploit that dependence as soon as the Europeans start freezing to death this winter.
What these idiots are trying to do with renewables is akin to humans trying to transition from cars to exclusively air travel in the 1930s. We are decades away from viability.
