Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

“A leaked internal memo shows UPS' entire fleet of McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo planes will be grounded longer than expected because they need more extensive repairs than previously thought.”
(The reason for these repairs and maintenance is the recent deadly crash near Louisville.)

I haven’t seen anyone else draw this (grim) connection, but it feels like there’s a psychological connection between Trump’s fear of AIDS and throwing away of Roy Cohn (fair) and his subsequent life of importing and preying on women (and allegedly girls) that he thinks of as maybe removed from it.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

And I must add, trade school full of nontrads did not escape, so Jes is right that it absolutely isn't a "kids these days" issue or even just in academia. People are not firing on all cylinders. Worse, many don't seem to have noticed the check engine light.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
