so I have been keeping an eye on college admissions. State residents are increasingly being frozen out of their home state schools in favor of out-of-state and,even better, foreign students. Why? Because they pay higher tuition. As a result, many California students who are rejected by CA schools go to Oregon and Arizona, where they pay higher tuition and their places are taken by Oregon and Arizona students in the same position. We now find that, surprise, the Chinese students are cheating. What the hell is the matter with our country? When did we stop giving a damn about the working people who live here?
