I’m a campus sexual violence researcher and I started thinking about this in the context of traumatized students.

Extensions are horrifically bad accommodations for survivors. They aren’t going to “get better” in a few days. And that means extensions pile up, pushing the survivor farther behind.

So the Saudi wealth fund would be the major creditor to a second major American media company (X being the other)?

We actually never watched the last episode. Still miss the season 1 Spartacus too.

Apparently. Haven't seen it though. Oh! It's a sequel!

The Starz show from the aughts? That's so good

Look at Twitter. Its revenue has only covered its costs in 2 quarters in 19 years of operation.
Yet Saudi credit bought it for $40B.

Piketty showed how creditors' wealth accumulates when investment returns exceed growth. This creates the ability to sustain bigger bubbles for longer.

Foundation world, like government contracting lends itself to a great deal of grant co-creating. There are open calls but also a lot of contracted work. The foundation or agency has a mission and a budget and you work with them to identify how your work advances their mission.

While not always true, it's always been helpful. For example, with DoD, the primary vehicle is the BAA which is vast. You have to talk to PMs to see what they're actually interested in funding.

NSF does the best job IMHO for making the process fair. But it still helps to be able to talk to PMs.
