[Daily Caller] "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe told Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson that Americans may be "starting to get the message" on seeking a college education in an interview released Wednesday.
Rowe explained to Carlson that research indicating young people are ranking a college education lower on the scale of importance is a "good thing," prompting the Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) creator to agree that a diploma does not mean its recipient is educated.
"Do you see any evidence that, I know people are listening to you, and I, again, would argue I haven’t seen anyone kind of refute what you’re saying," Tucker said. "But do you have any sense that it’s there’s changing, that it’s moving?"
Rowe said the cultural expectation of going to college after high school is "a consensus" most Americans "fall in line" with. He likened the idea of "supporting things that we personally don’t really support" to the behavior of people on Twitter, calling it a "collective illusion."

"If you look for it, you’ll see it everywhere. It’s mind-boggling," Rowe told Carlson. "And this was kind of a wake-up call for me because for 15 years I’ve been talking about this deeply held belief."
"The parents and guidance counselors are, truly believe that the best path for their kids, is this most expensive path," Rowe continued. "But the latest research. When you really sit people down and take a deep, deep dive ... Gen Z right now is ranking the importance of a college education out of 50 different things at 47."

Professional 'educators' are a product of colleges and universities. They're part of the academic complex and thus are focused upon feeding the system rather than what is right for society and the individual.
"Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.” - Wizard of Oz

They all a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy, and just within my lifetime; the undereducated to be educated by the underqualified at premium prices. The washouts going to public school positions.

Even have their gov backed corp sponsored sportsball leagues.
Give me the teammate who can figure what to do with used turbine blades, instead of this bobbleheading oyster monger poetry appreciation club bullshit.

The change will occur at the margins not at Harvard. There will always be enough rich woke wankers to keep the Ivy League full of leftist acolytes. Change will come through the smaller schools that will not be able to fill the dorms and through publicly funded schools that people don’t think ought to be indoctrination centers.

How many administrators can dance on the head of a single college student? How many bureaucrats can dance on the head of a single taxpayer? At some point the bills must be paid and the Ponzi scheme implodes.
[Epoch Times] A judge in Texas struck down a Biden administration rule on March 28 that required states to measure and report the greenhouse gas emissions from any vehicles using the national highway system. The rule was issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 2023 as part of President Biden’s efforts to slash carbon emissions in half by 2030.
Texas sued the DOT in December, arguing the agency lacked legal authority from Congress to enact the rule, and that it violates the Administrative Procedure Act. In his ruling, Judge James Hendrix of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas agreed, stating that the Biden administration lacked authority under law to impose the greenhouse gas emissions performance measure.
"When a regulation attempts to override statutory text, the regulation loses every time, regulations can’t punch holes in the rules Congress has laid down," the judge wrote. "If the people, through Congress, believe that the states should spend the time and money necessary to measure and report GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions and set declining emission targets, they may do so by amending Section 150 or passing a new law. But an agency cannot make this decision for the people," he concluded.
In finalizing the rule in December last year, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the performance measure would provide states with a "clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution and the flexibility to set their own climate targets." I wonder how Mayor Pete intended to measure the contribution of Electric Vehicles? A factor based on the percentage of their electricity that comes from coal and gas, perhaps? Could be a computer simulation, for sure.

EVs are, and have been for over a decade, an attempt to create a market bubble to rescue underwater public employee retirement plans. Plain and simple.

If the American consumer was convinced EV's were the answer, gasoline powered cars could be had for a song.
Government 'convincing' is for some reason, not working.

There's a lot of that going on with this administration.
[NY Post] Lizzo says she is "quitting" — seemingly the music industry — months after her former backup dancers accused her of sexual harassment, body-shaming and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit. Yeah. Take the money and waddle.
The 35-year-old "Truth Hurts" singer posted a statement to her Instagram on Friday, telling her 12.1 million followers, "I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet."
"All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it," she wrote.

Despite not caring in the slightest for her ‘talent,’ let’s hope she doesn’t really decide to quit by jumping off a bridge; Secretary Pete already has one disaster on his hands; dealing with the results of a tsunami would probably send the lad home in tears.
These are the approximate positions of the U.S. Navy’s deployed carrier strike groups and amphibious ready groups throughout the world as of March 25, 2024, based on Navy and public data. In cases where a CSG or ARG is conducting disaggregated operations, the chart reflects the location of the capital ship.
I don’t know, of course, but with all the places our ships are deployed at the moment, it looks like we coukd do with quite a few more.
[Africa News] Investigators are scouring the site of a tragic bus accident in South Africa, where a bus carrying pilgrims to an Easter gathering veered off a bridge, resulting in at least 45 fatalities. The only survivor, an 8-year-old child, was found amidst the wreckage.
The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon in a mountainous area near Mokopane, approximately 200 kilometers north of Pretoria. According to authorities, the bus lost control, crashed into the bridge's barriers, and plummeted 50 meters into a ravine. The driver, among the dear departed, was believed to have lost control of the vehicle.
Local resident Simone Mayema described the harrowing scene, where flames prevented bystanders from rendering aid to the victims. Many bodies, some charred beyond recognition, remained trapped inside the bus, while others were ejected upon impact.
Forensic teams commenced investigations early Friday, recovering some bodies but suspecting others remain within the charred remains of the bus. Details regarding the condition of the surviving child were not immediately available.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa extended condolences, noting that the victims were pilgrims from Botswana en route to Moria in Limpopo for Easter observances. Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga pledged an inquiry into the crash and expressed sympathies to the families affected.
The crash underscores the dangers of Easter holiday travel in South Africa, with millions of people traversing roads during the festive season. Last year, over 200 fatalities were reported during Easter weekend, prompting authorities to issue cautionary advisories.
The tragedy occurred just before the anticipated Easter pilgrimage of the Zion Christian Church, marking the first such event since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pilgrimage holds significant cultural and religious importance, drawing worshippers from across the region to Moria.

Probably a Mooselm Driver. The reports coming out of SA indicate that whites and Christians are not needed.
[ET Via ZERO] A breakthrough discovery links stress hormones with a fourfold surge in the spread of cancer, shedding light on why patients under severe stress often have lower survival rates.
"There’s probably very few situations that are as stressful as being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing cancer treatment," Mikala Egeblad, cancer researcher and senior author of the study, told The Epoch Times.
Understanding the stress—cancer link may open up new ways to protect patients from the adverse effects of stress as part of cancer care.
An Accidental Discovery Prompts More Research
The team of scientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) found that glucocorticoids—a type of stress hormone—play a role in creating a metastasis-friendly environment.
The Egeblad lab, which relocated to Johns Hopkins University, studies how the communication between tumors and the immune system affects tumor growth and metastasis in mice. Researchers discovered the connection accidentally, noticing faster tumor growth in mice they had unintentionally stressed by a change in housing.
The phenomenon prompted further research on chronic stress exposure and how it can encourage the spread of cancer, according to first author Xue-Yan He, who was a postdoctoral fellow at CSHL and is now an assistant professor at the Washington University School of Medicine.
Ms. He investigated this connection with a mice study that mimicked chronic stress, leading to startling observations: an increase in tumor lesions and up to a fourfold surge in the spread of cancer.
