Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Funny how the popularists missed this one!
‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

It astounds me that cities contract out garbage pickup. Where I live the city does pickups. Always excellent service, and the employees are union jobs who make enough to live in the city we live and work. And we can hold the city accountable for bad service.
The city handed over the largest number of coveted zones for collecting business waste to private haulers with the worst safety records — undermining a key goal of industry reform.

Northwestern’s student body simply doesn’t fit what they agreed to. Good luck getting all those highly intelligent, head strong students to agree to any of this.
TL;DR: basically the same contemptible garbage as all the other schools, anti-trans, anti-protest, more restrictive on admissions than the court held in SFFA. 75 million dollar tribute payment. At least no surveillance of teaching evaluations I guess?
