People are acting like the US government has the only facts in existence and a wiping of the public facing data held by that government by order of the head of that government is an attack on fact itself.
Trump has the only facts that matter. Listen and believe.
That's pretty bad, considering there are only 50 states.
It's not that bad. States have multiple state universities. Here in Texas, you have University of Texas, Texas State, Texas A&M and then individual branches of those schools in various places, all which rank independently.
UTD for instance has some top 1-2% graduate programs of ALL out there
I can't take your word for that. Do you have some citation for that? Which UTD grad programs are in the top 1-2%? I know for sure it's none of their STEM programs. The MBA program is good, but MBA is kind of "grad school lite", if you know what I mean.
This really serves no purpose, just because someone have expressed their opinion about somethng doesn't make it government data.
Not "someone". The president.
If I give an opinion about something, it's not government data. When the president gives a number to the press, it is the definition of government data.
In fact, here in Texas we do this tax abatements and subsidies all the time at the state, county and city levels of government and have successfully attracted some pretty big employers to the area with tens of thousands of jobs. Take a look at Texas' unemployment numbers of you doubt this works, also look at the state's budget surplus if you doubt it is good for the economy.
The problem is, you eventually run out of other people's money to give to corporations.
I live in Texas, too. That budget surplus, though. It has its downside:
Like it or not the cost of everything in a country eventually lands on the shoulders of the productive non-business owner. It's just a fact in economy. Governments don't produce and companies can't eat costs for long or they'll cease to be.
Then wouldn't it make more sense to subsidize the consumer if you're going to subsidize anything?
As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're in prison.
And by the way, all of you now work for the government, comrades.

It's not just the USDA.
It's also the EPA and the Department of the Interior. Tweets containing non-controversial scientific facts were deleted this afternoon.

Don't be alarmed, it is for your own good. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Hands off. That's my fiancee.

Oops. Too late.

University of Texas is ranked 54. Texas A&M is ranked 74.
It's the private universities in Texas that really rank highly (15)

Texas throws around a lot of other people's money to corporations. In fact, they lead the nation in giving other people's money to corporations.

Yes, the guillotine for corporate CEOs and politicians is somewhat messy and inhumane.
There were 1.5 million people at the Trump inauguration. It was the largest audience in history.
You can believe government data. Listen and Believe.
So, it sounds like you're saying that the government produces great value.
The problem is, you eventually run out of other people's money to give to corporations.

So, the only two options are corporate welfare or welfare for people?
Then wouldn't it make more sense to subsidize the consumer if you're going to subsidize anything?
"the company is talking with the state of Pennsylvania among others about getting the land and electricity subsidies it would need to build a factory"
well done
No can do. Didn't you get the memo? We're only using American-made products from now on.

Seriously, this is a great book and surprisingly, a crackling read. It is some story, and beautifully written.
NASA is saving a certain name for the best, classiest asteroid. At least I think they said "asteroid".

I'll bet that sounded better in Russian.
This is a rather extreme way of dealing with the new Trump cabinet, but since we're brainstorming I'll put it on the list.
