2:55 the reporter said UC Berkley gets 4 billion dollars of fed money annually!
That's 4-$#@!ing-billion!
You still have to understand that the FEDs are getting something valuable to them for their money. Some of the moved advanced technologies the US uses to dominate is not researched in some University in the Stix, a lot of them come from the University of California school systems.
Also, one can tell who the parasite in the relation is by the party that blinks first. The FEDs know this which is why they would not pull any funds from the school system. I hope I am wrong on this.
Lastly, the University of California school system has 240k students in it not 40k and half of that money is used for research, so its $2 billion divided by 240k people which gives you about $9k per student in what I assume to be a mix of federal student loans and pell grants.
Personally I'm for cutting all federal funding of education, every dime!
Eliminate the DOE and everything associated with it.
No fed money for "research" either.
Then cut taxes proportionately for people who work in the private sector but not for government employees.
We're not defending what he is. We're defending his right to say any damned thing he wants to say.

Fuck research. What has our "research" uncovered lately, say the last 10 years? People like to post on FB?![]()
Think how much research could be done if productive businesses could afford to fund what was profitable...
Instead they're stuck paying the feds so Mallard Duck orgasms can be cataloged and cross referenced..
Oh! Don't forget "feelings" and all the associated grant money...![]()
Milo's nazis
That's not an argument. It's also ridiculous.
The movement which Milo represents is based in nationalism and anti-capitalism: it's really driven by nationalism, with the anti-capitalism just being the default position in our society in general. At its extreme, you have actual card-carrying neo-NAZIs. Most aren't that hardcore, of course, but it's just a matter of degree (maybe they just want to sterilize and/or deport 'the unfit' rather than exterminate them). Likewise on the other side. Some are actual, card-carrying communists; most adhere to some more moderate form of proletarian socialism (maybe just stifle the kulaks rather than murder them).
Anyway, point is, they're all garbage, and it's bizarre to see libertarians cheer when one scores a point against the other.
...which, I reiterate, is all this episode was: point nazis.
