yeah, sure man, the most anti-corruption president ever, who rolled back obama's rules on scam colleges in 2017, and who ran a scam school himself for several years, is definitely going for those guys and not "the liberal arts as a concept."

i don't know what the fuck makes you think i'm interested in what a Senior AEI Fellow thinks

idk man not trying to trigger you I guess I take information from all sources and try to evaluate it with some discernment based on what I know of the biases of the authors and their orgs if your version of that process means dismissing aei associated ideas out of hand, that's fine

PhD from george mason and an employment history of three right-wing think tanks? yeah, very happy assuming this is low-perplexity output that is far more AI-replaceable than a licensed cosmetologist. mouth sounds mouth sounds low taxes mouth sounds

yea I linked him bc I follow his newsletter and he was on the rulemaking and both his journalism and opinion on this is by and large pretty solid, he is my go to reference for college cost stuff it sounds like we have a pretty wide gap in how we evaluate sources to pay attention to

yes, i am not generally going to believe "some random right-wing flack" on a law's cost-benefit regardless of any personal testimony by "some other random guy i've never interacted with." you are welcome to further replies telling me how awful my epistemics are and how great a lay he is

his freopp college roi stuff is genuinely great! I think georgetown cew, third way, and some others are also pretty good on this, but the freopp one is “real” and interactive not just a pdf dept ed’s college scorecard is really great data

but also, the actual text of the rule matters, the actual text of the bill matters judging only by the fact that trump is an asshole (or that someone from aei wrote about it) doesn't in fact help you understand the contents of the rule or the bill
