Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer pay tuition thanks to a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies announced Monday.
Starting in the fall, the donation will cover full tuition for medical students from families earning less than $300,000. Living expenses and fees will be covered for students from families who earn up to $175,000.

Must be nice to have your taxes pay for something useful instead of guns and war like us.

The US will keep paying to protect NATO countries so we can fight wars there instead of here.
Unless trump wins.
CIA hit incoming.
On who?
Well, Trump for fucking with NATO too much.
Idk that the CIA really bothers assassinating fascists anymore… Or ever. Like there was one time in Korea but they really just gave a Korean CIA guy moral support.
The US can’t afford it. Maybe if we cut government spending in half. They’re out of control and everyone is suffering because they’re destroying the value of the dollar. This issue (but not all) ready is a both sides problem.
Europe is a nuclear power with second strike capability. „Practically disarmed„ is rather different

France has repeatedly tried to hand over shared control of those nukes to Germany. I’d argue that this alliance is set in stone.
Our military spending is not preventing us from having free college or free healthcare. Both would save us money if we switched to 100% government funded systems. No amount of military spending is preventing us from saving money.
Those can also be useful, the problem is we’re choosing not to do both.

What’s useful about funding foreign wars, and coups?
War does drive a lot of scientific development.
I’m so glad we kill strangers then… you know, for science.
It used to be free in Australia but then after the politicians all got their free education they decided the country couldn’t afford it anymore.
To be fair the new system is still pretty reasonable but it used to be totally free.
Ahhh, boomers. They got their uni education for the price of a McChicken and still ended up as some of the dumbest and most selfish motherfuckers on the planet.
