I wonder if the box office earnings are adjusted for inflation.

A movie that sold a million tickets in 1982, and a movie that sold a million tickets in 2020 each sold a million tickets, but the 2020 movie's box office earnings will be significantly larger.

I know for a fact the In state for Arizona public’s is way less and the out of state is prob more. This also doesn’t account for international students that pay 3x the amount as US Citizens

Combo of NRA gun laws and extreme poverty.

People need to get of the stigma of community college. Max $1500 a term. And there is aid to help pay that

That's 100% what the heritage foundation has engineered here but that's not what it actually shows. If you looks at places that vote heavily for Biden but have sensible gun laws like NY, Cali, Mass, Connecticut, etc you'll see that Biden districts are actually less violent than Trump districts in spite of other factors like poverty.

Exactly. I went to school in Virginia and in state tuition was $18k and out of state was $32k. Not sure where the extra $18 k comes from but it also says that the average cost of living on/off campus is included in the cost listed. But my rent off campus there in a nice place was $450 a month so still lost there.

I think what this view shows is who is driving up the homicide rate in each state. I would say Biden districts are more violent based on this. Trump states are more violent but that is misleading, because it is the Biden districts within driving those numbers. Make sense?

When I graduated college and got my first job, I made less than a waiter. But now I make six figures, and if I hadn't gone to college I'd still be a waiter. That job that pays $45k is the first rung on a ladder, and given the median income in the US is $33k, it's a pretty high first rung.

I once bought a permit in Colorado to cut a tree in forest service land. a snowstorm picked up as my wife and I were driving out into the mountains. eventually we just pulled over on the road and cut down a good looking tree. a few people stopped and asked if we were ok.

checked GPS data later, and we were on a random backroad miles away from where we were trying to go, and had cut a random tree from someone's backyard. had no idea at the time

All higher education in New Mexico is free for New Mexico residents.

Because counties have essentially no influence over concealed carry licenses.or how easy it is to buy a gun. They also have very little influence over public policy in general.

What you'll see at the state level is that states that enact nra backed policies consistently have not only higher rates of murder with a gun per Capita but also higher murder and suicide rates as a result. Also states that enact things like constitutional carry consistently see a spike in murder rates and gun violence.

This makes Biden districts look more violent but it would be more accurate to say that being poor in a red state is a better indicator.

We have had 18 year old kids signing loans for life changing sums of money and they still won’t know what that really entails unless they take a finance class.

Yeah with room, board and all costs in the last few years I think I spent like 30k for a full year at iowa. It’s really skewed by our private schools

It’s not. These numbers are not the average cost that Oregon students pay. The two largest schools by students, by far, are UofO and OSU which cost ~13-14k for yearly in state tuition.

The only way it could be this high is if it’s something like the average of all Oregon school rack rates, which is def not the same thing.

Where the hell are you getting this data? This is made up, at least for California for public universities.

My alma mater breaks down to:

• Estimated tuition and fees: $7,806
• Estimated cost of books and supplies: $1,970
• Total: $9,776 per year

Even if you did the more expensive University of California, it’s no where near $35k per year.

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/tuition-financial-aid/tuition-cost-of-attendance/

The UC breaks down to:

• UC tuition: $13,752
• Campus fees: $1,600
• Books and supplies: $1,300
• Total: $16,652 per year.

How are you skewing the stats to be over 3x more then the real costs of education? Food, healthcare, lodging, transportation, and personal life choice fees are not education expenses. Those are costs for just living.

Will that fit your narative better? County view is much more informative. You basically admit your inherent bias and sound silly

State college is free in Connecticut

While i hear what you are saying...It is an expense. If my daughter wanted to go to a top school, she needs to consider room and board. If she wanted to get it from a local community college, she would live at home..... you must provide this cost in calculations. Otherwise you are not being realistic to what it takes to attend that school

Maybe I should clarify: college is great, getting a degree that limits you into a low paying career isn't.

You are correct, it does. The big WV private posh universities are 6x~ more expensive than community college, 3-5x~ more expensive than the public universities.

Can't speak for the other states, but it absolutely inflates the costs.

Sorry, 12k was just for tuition.

I meant the total shown on my state is about double what I payed including everything.

It also includes private schools which are much much expensive than public. Super misleading in my opinion.

I guess if you didn’t go to college it would all be free? Lol, what a stupid question.

This including private schools makes it completely disingenuous. Hardly anyone going to private schools pays full tuition and the ones the do are often from affluent parents.

Where did you live? 12k per year isn't even enough for a cheap apartment and food.
