No, I've been talking about the same thing this entire time. Some people don't meet the requirements for a university course for whatever reason. As long as they spend the time and effort to legitimately meet the requirements, they should be accepted. I'm not talking about accepting them when they don't meet the standards. I'm talking about accepting them after they've proved they meet the standards.

They're rejected > they take a year to meet the standards > they're accepted the next year after meeting the standards

Don't enroll them if they don't meet the standards. If they do meet the requirements, even if they take a program somewhere else to do it, why the fuck shouldn't they?

So people who will spend a year after high school to learn enough about a subject to legitimately meet the requirements to enter university shouldn't be allowed to go to university? There are community college courses that are entirely for that purpose. Their entire purpose is to make students meet university prerequisites. Some universities (MIT) even teach these courses online or during summer break, when regular courses (that require the prerequisites) are not in session.

Not everyone has a good library. Not everyone has a high school that teaches the subject they want to specialize in, and some subjects heavily benefit from having a person who knows it helping. I'd much rather people who are sure they want to learn a subject and will spend the time than someone who takes a university course because they want a degree, without caring about the subject or intending to do it professionally.

The solution is to stop accepting individuals who aren't up to the standards.

exactly what I wrote, they don't meet the standards for university, so you direct them to a program so they can gain the standards before they're accepted into university. It might take them a year, but it means if they go on to university, they won't be behind before the first day.

Thomas Sowell talked about this.

Reducing requirements for entry to university results in accepting those who start too far behind other students. They're strapped with debt, the one type of debt that never goes away, think they're dumb and become easier to radicalize. If instead they directed them to a program (such as a community college course) that could help learn the prerequisites they need to actually make use of university, they would do far better.

That is assuming universities still have the ability to actually teach students something worthwhile, instead of just indoctrination.

With fiat, there is cash. It's harder to transact if you're not using a bank account, but possible. CBDC makes it impossible.

Even if it's tied to gold, CBDC has the ability to easily track and regulate (ie. limit where money can be spent, seize money, freeze accounts, set carbon limits). Hopefully enough people see what happened in Canada and with Russia as a reason to never trust a CBDC.

IMF wanted a new Bretton Woods moment. I think they were aiming for a digital currency, but an actual gold-backed currency is as close as you can get to the actual Bretton Woods (gold-backed USD).

India and China are still transacting with Russia, and the world is too dependent on the region for fuel, fertilizer and food.

A report released in September by Moonshot for the federal government said lifting COVID-19 restrictions could result in more suicides, violence and acts of terror.

"Our researchers called [the pandemic] a great equalizer because incels believed everyone would experience the social and romantic isolation that they suffer on a daily basis,'' said Moonshot spokesperson Alex Amend.

"The end of lockdown and things opening up again will actually be more of a triggering point for them, so it would be beneficial for practitioners to pay more attention to the re-entry.''

This sounds like when Obama gave the president the ability to kill uncontested any American citizen in the world., which he did multiple times, including bombing a civilian cafe to kill a child.

They're normalizing what Trudeau did to the trucker protesters.

ESG is still in use. Governments are pushing to bring in digital currencies. They're pushing more "Great Narrative" initiatives. These people aren't going to stop.

Restricting the days people can travel happened in Canada in the past, people called it "Rae Days". It might have also happened in Britain. I think Mexico City doesn't allow vehicles from a different municipality on Sunday.

The first-point in the IEA's plan (reduce emission by reducing all highway speed by 10km) could also be solved by reducing stopping & starting. It wastes a lot of fuel, and also causes traffic jams because of the additional delay for each subsequent car in changing their speed. Government has a hard-on for reducing road speed for whatever reason (safety, pollution, they hate cars, they hate municipality foreigners, they hate supply lines, it's a day of the week that ends in "day")

People on the left don't know they're going to cause mass death from starvation. Same people who supported lockdowns probably still don't know the deaths they already caused.

Hopefully countries that aren't sanctioning Russia will buy their food and fertilizer and lower their demand for non-Russian supply, stabling world-wide supply:demand and cost. Current market rates say otherwise.

You can see how that works in Canada. All the media that report what the government wants get funding and access. All media that criticize gets harassed by the state and have to sue to get access. Citizens that protest the government's (like the Trucker Protest) get relentlessly smeared by State Media. The state also pushes laws to censor all speech online.
