Reply to [OC] The Average Cost of Attending College in Each US State by malxredleader

My mom who dropped out of college was parroting conservative talking points against student loan forgiveness until I explained the changes in cost to her. If the cost was the same as the 80s and 90s it wouldn't be a problem similarly if incomes from jobs that you can get with an average degree had increased since the 90s. The problem is that costs have ballooned while incomes and stay mostly the same. The math doesn't add up yet young people are still told to go to college to get a good job and many professions require college education if not additional schooling. Forgiveness helps but we really need regulations on how much publicly funded universities can charge residents of their states. It doesn't make sense if the average income is 40-50k to charge 15k a year in tuition alone.

Reply to comment by Pinkydoodle2 in The Heritage Foundation data sources contradict its report that the US city with the 30th highest rate of homicide was 2.4 / 100K. One of their referenced sources- "CHR&R" (footnote 25) - has more than 1K counties with higher homicide rates. Here's that data. Relevant links are in the comments. [OC] by quantuminous

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about ‘mate’.

I feel like a douchebag every time I see the cost to go to college in the US.
I live in Denmark, and we do pay quite a lot in taxes, but our healthcare is free, and you actually get paid for your tuition
The rates right now is $942 per month when you live on your own.
If you still live at home, it's based on your parents income.

When ever I see US politicians talk about the Middel East, and that people aren't allowed to attend college, then I can't stop thinking to myself how many US citicens that can't afford to attend college even in the US!

There most be a better way so everybody has the same chances of education.

Oh, gotcha. This is the equivalent of back of the napkin math I did in five minutes just now, so it might not be complete, but looks like these are the top 15 with the highest absolute value differences between Audience Score and Tomato Meter. Hope that helps

Reply to [OC] International Players in the NBA by Far_Individual637

I'm not that familiar with NBA but I know Toronto is in Canada...

The Raptors' eight international players include two Canadians - so not quite the same kind of international. I actually thought they might have a few more Canadians.
