I was going to say, do all 36 people live together in that colonaded brick building

USA nestled in rice. Oh no, it was harvested by enslaved South Carolinians.

There are [huge number] millions of now-white Americans whose 1840s-1990s non-Protestant immigrant ancestors/parents were considered not really white and probably incapable of assimilating into American culture. White supremacy cannot afford to exclude these numbers, or abandon that recruiting pool.

The nature of white American identity is to expand as much as needed to maintain a critical mass of people invested in protecting the higher social status of whiteness.

American whiteness is often defended most vociferously by those whose great-grandparents were not accepted by WASPs as white.

"Elect Black" and "YES" to Mayo Pete running is an interesting mixed message.

Only the wealthiest, the most well-connected, & a few of the most brilliant early bloomers will be able to get one of the scarce, coveted freshman slots to even attempt to earn a degree. Yes those who graduate will have genuinely earned a degree, but they will have been class-curated before entry.

Then we'll be back in the early 19th century, with a small percentage of teens entering a small number of universities. A higher ed degree will have high cultural value because it's challenging to earn one, but also because there are so few surviving schools that it's challenging to gain admission.

Next 5-10 yrs after that: Schools that will survive reestablish the cultural value of a higher ed degree via course & degree performance standards, academic staff, and being ready, willing, & able to survive a high drop/flunk rate. Only immensely funded and independently wealthy schools can do it.

Next 1-5 years after that: Schools that will ultimately survive slowly budget to rehire the kind of human academics who know how to teach students w/o the AI "assistance" that destroyed much of higher ed, but those academics swung out of production around 2020 and are mortal, so there are fewer.

Next 1-5 years after AI ed tech, AI-facilitated cheating, and Tr*mp admin & conservative donor edicts & strictures crash the cultural & market values of recently earned higher ed diplomas: Schools scramble to reassert academic performance standards to pass classes, but few students are even capable.

Next 1-10 yrs: Higher ed "C-suite" infatuation w/ AI ed tech (as attempted replacement of academic labor) and a priority of "customer service" to conservative donors & to students paying full tuition will combine to culturally devalue new diplomas, now seen as attainable w/o much academic effort.

Is the food editor A) trolling, B) trying to create a counterpart to Mardis Gras, C) running a search for "breakfast AND winter" and just posting results unreviewed, or D) using the stupidest AI?

This was designed by a horse, as revenge. How do *you* like the spur, hu-mon?
