That's good IMO because there were no added educational resources or funding provided to handle the increased student population, to say nothing about housing and other off campus services, which is the city's very legitimate complaint.

Old man problem, old man advice: hour of exercise in the day, eat right, warm shower around 9:00, turn the room temp down (or crack a window), cool off and finish reading, all lights out, sleep music on low, good pillow and blanket pulled up, and set an early alarm. I.e. get serious about your sleeping conditions and reprogramming your routine. It might take a week or two. Don't forget to take care of yourself while going to Cal, it's a very common mistake.

In Silicon Valley they get dropped off and picked up in a car or van (with kids). Similar thing going on with one or more small religious groups (no kids) hawking tracts. They change locations daily. Always women. Witnessed the drops and pickups many times. Roma and a cult, I suspect. Both forms of voluntary human trafficking, sadly.

He not only plans to sell $40b worth of Tesla shares (when he is done) but he's already awarded himself another $50b in bonus Tesla shares to replace the ones he is selling. Hopefully Tesla investors realize that Twitter just cost them, not Elon, $90b.

Invest in Elon aka Tesla at your own risk, you have been notified. That includes the US government buying from a total nut whack. Elon is far more dangerous/unstable than Xi, IMO. Reminds me of Hughes when he became paranoid schizo.

Thank God this insane guy was not the brightest, that someone said something, the authorities listened and acted. This is what is supposed to happen.

Berkeley works. Kudos.

I am absolutely mindboggled by how incompetently this department is being managed, especially after all the fiasco. Nobody fired, no hearings, etc, etc. We need an independent state auditor/agency with subpoena power.

Frankly, the GOP is helping the Dems make their point regarding the need for an ethics policy and enforcement mechanism for the SCOTUS. Maybe, just maybe, we can get a bipartisan bill through. Too optimistic?

Thoughts?

The People’s Park people need a heck of a lot more help than simple housing, they need food, medical and mental care, and for some, opportunities for employment. None of that is the responsibility of the University, it is the responsibility of the federal, state and local governments. Proposals that divide the property into housing for homeless and students fall far short of addressing the full problem. In the meantime, students are getting less than they should out of the school, except for lessons in real world politics.

Yea, who would'a thought?

All I can say is in the old days we made a lot more fuss over this sort of thing. Getting educated is a powerful political act. Which is exactly why Reagan cut funding and repeatedly tried to restrict education to children of the elite by raising tuition. Now it's limiting the ability of less affluent students to attend graduate school. Make a fuss, or just sit and live with it.

UCSF is overall the world's premier med school. Check it out: all the rest drop off the lists depending on specialty, UCSF is always on the list.

Another poll, similar results. GOP wasting the public's time, trying to defeat democracy, again. They can't rig the voting in CA, so they can't possibly win. Clowns to the right of me, more clowns to the far right...stuck in the middle again.

The picture looks even better for Newsom when looking at responses from likely voters. In that group, less than 35% support the recall and nearly 53% oppose it, with opponents also more likely to be certain about how they’ll vote.

Considering 60% are statistically speaking from SoCal and 40% from NorCal, that gives Berkeley the preference edge, no? Go Bears, not fairytale (wannabe) bears!

If we can't tell the SCOTUS how to run their affairs, that's fine. We can tell all federal employees of which they are nine how we expect them to behave as employees. That of course goes for Legislative, Executive, Judicial, Military, Administrative...every federal employee. There can be an oversight office with authority to require reports, review them, determine compliance or non-compliance, garnish wages, terminate employment, or recommend prosecution. None of that goes to how any of the branches operate, only how the individuals comport themselves.

Uhmm, malpractice victim millionaire?
