Are for-profit colleges worth the cost? Graduates are split on the value of their degrees

About 40% of those who graduate from a for-profit college say their degree was worth it, but about the same share say their education hasn't paid off.

My “following” feed is now almost all promoted tweets and retweets from media outlets and my “for you” feed is more people I actually follow. And all the while there’s nothing in either feed from the folks I’ve always interacted with the most.

Super great.

Great! Here's a fact: The murder rate in red states outpaced blue states every year for the last 21 years.

The Two-Decade Red State Murder Problem – Third Way

In March of 2022, we found that murder rates in 2020 were 40% higher in Trump-voting states than Biden-voting states. In this follow-up, we studied homicide data going back to 2000 to see if this one-year Red State murder epidemic was an anomaly. It was not. Despite a media narrative to the contrary, a wide and widening Red State murder gap has spanned the past two decades. The murder rate in Trump-voting states has exceeded the murder rate in Biden-voting states every year this century, with a cumulative overall murder rate that is on average 23% higher.

I would absolutely pay extra for a hotel room that is legitimately dark at night. No neon glowing clock numbers, spotlights out the window, bathroom nightlights that can’t be turned off. Just a hotel room where it is actually dark at night. https://twitter.com/amandajfinnegan/status/1618427443714588674
