"The gap in life expectancy between the longest-lived and shortest-lived states has reached nine years, the largest in American history.³ Hawaiians can expect to live to 79.9 years. Mississippians can expect 70.9.⁴"

The Washington Post Wants to Protect Its Owner From a Wealth Tax

I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.

1/n Yesterday on @chris I commented (https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/115612771113881465) about the #PostSecondary review announced by the #BCNDP.

Today, on #socialBC I want to do a summary thread on this 145 page “State of Post Secondary in Canada 2025”.

I am grossed out by its AI fanboying -- a statement on the "state" of education in itself -- but the data is good... so... onward.

Oh look, the #BCNDP Government finally noticed the Post-Secondary system is collapsing. *slowclap*

Can hardly wait for that report next spring... maybe I will still have a job by then...

PS: I have a crazy idea: perhaps post-secondary should be majority-funded by government, not by exploitative international tuitions that can just *disappear*)

PPS: Domestic enrolment is not declining in any significant kind of way in the sector. From the “State of Post Secondary Education in Canada 2025” by Alex Usher:
"This decline in per-student funding is therefore not primarily a result of a significant decline in total funding; rather, it is a result of expenditures remaining more or less
constant while enrollments increased.”

WHICH IS WHAT EDUCATORS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR DECADES
