Crime is decreasing across the country despite a police-staffing crisis, Henry Grabar reports. He explores what might be responsible for the trend:

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

"Even after accounting for the upfront costs and delayed benefits, enrolling marginal applicants to public universities generates substantial net returns for society, the marginal students themselves, and the government budget." Public Universities FTW!

This sounds less like a grievance and more like a practical how-to for junior scholars!
