And just earlier, I suggested this wealth tax for the richest, approximately 1,000 households, and you decried me.

Um, uh, there is this very keen strain, academic strain of thinking, backed up by King's School of Global Affairs, Paris School of Economics, University of California, that suggests introducing a two...

We've discussed this before, introducing a 2% minimum annual tax on households with more than 100 million in wealth could raise significant amounts of money, and it would impact on less than 1,000 households, and both Delo and Holborn would come into that category.

I'm all for introducing it.

The California Post had this story written by Titus Wu.

And the number of students applying to the UC system with 4.0 averages doubled in 10 years.

From about 53,000 to 103,000 between 2015 and 2025.

You got that? Doubled.

You have many professors banding together and saying, these students don't know crap.

We have to give them remedial math courses, middle school remedial math courses.

This is at Berkeley and UC San Diego.

Here's one guy named Charles Cole.

I think this also creates an opportunity actually for small tech companies, right? If you're a new tech company that's getting off the ground and you have a couple customers, right, that twenty-five bed com market or that hundred and twenty-five bed, you know, sort of rural referral hospital, that's a pretty appealing market.

So I think actually rural hospitals, one, yes, they're going to have less ability to do some of that customization themselves, but they will have an opportunity to potentially have newer, more interesting tools because I think that their sales cycle is going to be smaller and shorter, and therefore a lot of, you know, sort of tech innovators are gonna be able to come in and say, "I want to serve that market." Right? Because think about it, if you're a tech company and you want to sell to, say, UCLA or the University of California system, that could be like a three-year sales cycle.

And if you're a early stage company that's building something innovative and you have end-to-end implementation as part of your s-software offering, you go to a hundred and twenty-five bed community hospital, and you just have to work with the couple tech staff there and the CEO and the CMO and the COO, that's a much easier opportunity.

So I think that small and rural hospitals might not have access to some of the sort of, you know, big aircraft carrier style technology that they might want, but I think there's a lot of other cool stuff that they will probably be a first mover of, both out of necessity and also because of the market opportunity that they offer.

I think that the way grants are going now, we're not going to have groups of 20 anymore.

And you look at, for example, the University of California students, you know, advocating for better pay is also going to drop the group size.

And frankly, I think that's a good thing.

I don't think, you know, you need to have these massive groups to make big innovations.

And who are the teachers that get your money in the name of all of this poppycock that enriches the select commie illiterate teacher themselves? Well, they're like this.

California University English teacher under fire after what he posted on Instagram regarding independent journalist Nick Shirley.

Now Shirley is asking for help hiring a private security agent because he believes his life is in danger.

So who's the college teacher and what did he post? Newsmax correspondent Heather Myers is

Berkeley law does not do so.

The case is part of a broader Trump administration campaign targeting the University of California system, which has also faced federal scrutiny over admissions at its Davis, Los Angeles, and San Diego medical schools, along with separate investigations into anti-Semitism at UCLA and Berkeley.

The Justice Department said it will pursue settlement talk with the school and file suit if those negotiations fail.

Governor Gavin Newsom's state water plan received a major setback in recent days.

High school transcripts glow.

Straight A applicants to the University of California have roughly doubled in a decade, and the kids cannot do basic math.

I'm not kidding.

Uh, this is not a punchline.

It is the state's operating system.

According to UC data reviewed by the New York Post, students applying to the University of California system with a 4.0 or better jumped from 52,989 in 2015 to 103,138 for the class of 2025.

The spike sharpened during the COVID years when classrooms went online and standards went wherever the administration needed them to go.

The vast majority of those applicants are California resi- uh, residents.

I also checked Musk because the exact reason of his departure." So in twenty twelve, the presidential race employees identified with Microsoft and Google were among Barack Obama's leading source of individual contributions by employer.

Contemporary open secret based reporting placed University of California employees first and foremost in cont- in contributing to Microsoft employees second and Google employees third.

Among Obama's employer association donor totals, those were donations from individuals associated with those employers, not corporate Microsoft or Google checks to Obama's campaign.

Give me an effing break.
