California lands six universities in the global top 25

Since the 1960s California became the world's fifth largest economy, and a global epicenter for R & D and technological innovation because it invested heavily in infrastructure and higher education.

Infrastructure, innovation, and education are pillars of economic growth. That is Economics 101.

If California were a sovereign nation, it would have the fourth largest economy on the planet. Only the U.S., China, and Germany beat it, and Germany just barely.
 
Cypress getting schooled again, what's new? :) IMO he seems to have one of those " on the spectrum" type personalities. Square peg in a round hole kind of guy,....not in a unique good way either,....more like....." always out of place, horrible timing guy, a CLUNKY fit anywhere he goes...you all know the type. Odd duck.
 
Elle Oh F'ing Elle man. This response is like a caricature.

There are people for whom California can do no right. Then people like yourself for whom California can do no wrong. And the idea that one can point out both the great things about the state, as well as its very real issues, is like a personal affront.

The fact that among others, the SF Chronicle, Gavin Newsom, Scott Wiener and many others regularly talk about the issue of housing in the state. And your response is? Move to Tennessee?

Again, Elle Oh F'ing Elle. I'm actually like fascinated to know where in the state someone can live to not be aware of this. Actually dude, your response is the most Boomer thing ever. It's telling people if you can't afford it, "too bad too sad" as my daughter says. It's the most F you thing ever.
Man, when my uncle told me how all the taxes and mandatory solar and the water stuff was going in CA, it was sad. :(
Was not always like that. :nono:
Hell, I remember rototilling corn down in his back yard and how happy my grandma looked when I was doing it.
 
The simple truth is this.......a loser is a loser and a winner is a winner. You can put anyone ANYWHERE and the cream always rises to the top. It is much more about the 6 inches between you're ears then it ever was about location.
 
:lolup: "Suddenly" concerned about poor people, but votes hard-core Republican every time :laugh:

California is a great state for white collar professionals, upper middle class, affluent, and it sucks for poor people. Just like Texas and West Virginia suck for poor people.

Moose lives in Alaska, which also sucks for poor people, and is a net taker of federal funds. Isn't it amusing how envious of California these MAGATs are?
 
I casually let you dudes holler and bawl hundreds of time about my supposed lack of college education, and now you suddenly get distressed when I finally mention being accepted at UC San Diego? :laugh:

It's not just your state of residence that has the forum's obsessed MAGATs seething. :laugh:

I damn sure ain't. Hell to the fuck no!
Shittier beaches, high taxes, shitty fire fighting, shitty government, shitty police, shitty streets.
I would not recommend going there at this time.
I think all my fam actually left there.
It wasn't always like that.

This coming from someone who lives BY CHOICE in one of the most economically depressed areas in the entire Midwest. Just being honest here,....but....when you can buy property at Jack shit prices it is pretty easy to see why she chose the U.P of Michigan. I'm only a couple of hours south or so and the property values are night and day. U.P= straight up Hooterville in every way imaginable.

Florida beaches are the BOMB! Were going to be spending about 3 months this winter on and off down there, Really looking forward. Not going to be going too far south this year though, maybe next year. Most likely everywhere from PCB down to Clearwater beach and all parts in between....:)

What's "The Thumb"?
I know a dude that lives there, he was stuck in CA fer a minute, but now he's goin' home.
This guy, is like a double Tommy Chong, I shit you not! :rofl2:
Good thing there's only 1 of him, cuz I think if there was 2, the world would implode!

I'll tell you where to go in PM.
Not open forum.
 
Man,....a few years back we found an amazing little hole in the wall that we go back to every year. Great food, drinks, service, and LOVE the laid back atmosphere. Place is a lot of fun. Up on Miramar beach if you ever get up that way. Nothing fancy,...but fun with good eats.

That's cool. I found an amazing little Italian restaurant in Clearwater.
Oohh..he made a good Calzone. That may not still be there.
It was not far from that gas station we used to park out back of. :ninja:
East side of Gulf. Near the Surfside, and there's another hotel a couple places down on the east side. Kinda big.
Probably 5 stories. Italian place was to the S of that. Oh they had the stuff, boy! :rofl2:

What program at UCSD? Surely you weren't accepted to Scripps (you clearly don't have ANY real science background). And that's about the only super prestigious part of UCSD that I am aware of.
UC San Diego medical school is globally recognized.

Why do you need to know the details of the personal life of a complete stranger, creeper?
I was accepted at the UC San Diego Scripps Institute of Oceanography, but ended up choosing to go to UC Davis.

The reason you keep fucking up on guessing the details of my life experience is because I am generally not here to share personal anecdotes with anybody but my friends.

The real question is why are you so interested in the minutia of my personal life, creeper? I'm just here to bash Trump and conservatives.

Why are you so obsessed with higher education?
I sense issues.
"The University of Florida ranks No. 1 nationally in a Wall Street Journal analysis of 100 top universities, while the University of California, Berkeley, UCLA, and UC San Diego are among the top 20 in the Times Higher Education 2026 US rankings."
I ain't sayin' "Go Gators", even though I got a couple cousins that would.
Meh, I like the 'Noles better. FSU.
Neither one of those schools leave a cracker lacking for education. Those are real schools.

Thank you for tacitly agreeing that you couldn't complete the PhD. Why couldn't you complete it?
