The real estate tax savings are going to be necessary anyway to compensate for your 15 percent interest rate - but housing costs that hold because the government continues to subsidize it. Democrats turned their back on manufacturing. They’ll do the same with education. It all starts at home most parents now of younger children have a "Smart phone or iPad" as a baby sitter so they can tie tok & FB & Instagram & what ever else social media can throw at you instead of limiting the amount of time the kids have to be on SM. My wife has owned & operated a day care for 20 years & the children she watches are from 1 yr old to 5 yrs old & she says & i've seen myself the kids are getting worse & worse year after year which a lot of it is caused because there is literally no consequences . Discipline is a thing of the past there are very few parents any more that will discipline at all only take a toy away or stand them in time out big deal & then we wonder why there are so many shootings by young people because they have grown up in the same type of none disciplinary society every body gets a trophy no matter what . They aren't taught that losing isn't a terrible thing & again not taught to use losing as a motivation to get better the next time ! I hate to see just what the world has become but it is heading straight to hell & i can't say that it should be surprising no rules you can do, be, act, disrespect, and change into what ever you in your own mind can think despite the reality of what the facts tell you & they will look right at them & say the exact opposite of what the facts show . And the thing that really sucks is it will probably continue to get worse before or if it gets better ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants people to be upwardly mobile and supports efforts to that goal https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3980539-sanders-warns-lawmakers-not-to-go-to-war-on-the-working-class-during-debt-negotiations/ “And I’m willing to look at any other proposals. There’s a lot of waste within government. Let’s go after it. But don’t go to war against the working class of this country, lower-income people. Don’t tell kids that they can’t afford to go to college or cut back on public education in America. We have already too much inequality in America. Let’s not make it worse,” he added. More Bernie today: And if Democrats and the president get stronger on working-class issues and “take on the greed of the insurance companies, drug companies, Wall Street, all the big money interests, and start delivering for working class people,” Sanders said, “I think Biden is going to win in a landslide.” If You believe Bernie wants upward mobility you don’t know what that term means. 3 hours ago, Big Blitz said: This kid has more courage then the people in charge.

A very simple question of why non radically left opinions are ”dangerous”. completely acceptable 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 1 hour ago, BillStime said: Keep ‘em stupid What a stupid, self-destroying policy. UNC went from "ordinary state flagship university" in my college days (it was a minor league neighbor of University of Virginia to the north) to "one of the top state research universities" in just one generation. What better way to kill that and drive leading scholars away. Republicans are now so obsessed with the owning-the-libs headlines that they're willing to engage in self-sacrifice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housing costs would be the major reason I wouldn't move there (and that I like Va better). One very big advantage is that it is decidedly BLUE. Prosperous, educated and blue, hmmm... NC overall is purple but guess what areas are bright red...hint- not highly educated areas. https://www.bestplaces.net/voting/county/north_carolina/wake Not been keeping up with the tenure question but cutting it has been discussed for decades. The problem is that academics in high paying fields like tech and medicine can make double or more in the private sector. It's one reason that there's a nursing shortage: Not enough nursing school faculty. But cutting off their nose to spite their face is characteristically MAGA. Spite, resentment and hate seem very important to them. Edited May 1, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most noticeable change over the years, he said, has been students replacing older homeowners, not violent crime. “I would rather be in Chapel Hill than be in Durham,” he said. Gun violence happens everywhere, Williams added, and compared to other communities, he thinks of his town as relatively peaceful. @DTHCityState | city@dailytarheel.com CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated the number of homicides in Chapel Hill this year. There have been five homicides in 2022, not six. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for this error. Everything is relative. Look at crime rates by NC county in this link.

Lots of deep red areas worse than Wake County yeah I saw the back and forth in the article. I remember being there and being surprised at the bad areas near the school. So I was curious what it’s like today- And searched it, couldn’t resist tossing the article to you based on the headline given your elitist blue view, even though the overall article read as more even. glad you read it.

Not sure why don't know what you're talking about. As I said, went there for years. I think you'd literally need to go looking for serious crime there or just be incredibly unlucky. Their conference center is right next to the University golf course so if you wander too far (I have), you might get hit by a ball. We were at Duke Gardens a few weeks ago. The azaleas are especially scary! I did see a few presumably gay couples strolling and holding hands tho. Gasp...
