No crime San Francisco trip!

How fascinating, the outpouring of rage and venom over someone's kid going to college in California. It apparently IS true that Reichwingers hate college educations.

The irony, of course, is that only college rejects and those who never even tried to get into college are the only people who consider colleges "indoctrination camps". It stinks of jealousy and outright ignorance of what a college even is. The system is extraordinarily efficient at perpetuating ignorance and stupidity.

As you said, you're leaving it up to him and that's your...and his... decision... but I don't know why anyone would turn down a full ride... at a great school at least for a couple of years... you said that's what you'd like him to do...encourage him to go to UF ....and the money you save you can send him on an "adventure"...

Frankly, it's none of your business. There's that. Not everyone lives hand to mouth like you do, dear Toxic. Now run back to your safe house and declare that this thread is all about you.

Well, you know, education.

I do not think a degree in Drag Queen Studies is really considered an education.

He's legally an adult. How can his parents forbid him?

So what's he going to live on if his parents refuse to fund him at Berkeley?

I know very little about surfing, but he says there is an awesome spot close to San Fran called Mavericks.

Shark infested, dangerous and unpredictable especially in winter.

Well, you know, education.

Not everyone who goes to college goes for that reason.
And you know that.

San Francisco Crime Crisis in Spotlight After Whole Foods Closure

A major supermarket is quitting downtown San Francisco after just a year of trading—with bosses saying they were unable to "ensure the safety" of staff in the city.

Whole Foods Market opened a new "flagship" branch Downtown, at Eighth and Market near the Trinity Place development, with much fanfare in March 2022. But just 13 months on, the supermarket chain has decided to close the store, which was shuttered at the end of business on Monday.

The move comes as the city remains gripped by crime, homelessness and rampant drug use.

I think he is aware. Sharks are more hype than a statistically significant danger. Current and rocks and fighting with egomaniacs who think they own a wave are more significant threats.

Shh, do not suggest that.

Actually, I do not know. He has not considered overseas. I think he is enamored with California. Anyway, he is home now and currently cant decide between one of the California schools and UF. I think we are going back to Gainesville this weekend to see it again.

When was the last time you were in California?

I don't think she understands what we're talking about...

When was the last time you were in California?

Five years ago. San Diego.

If I was not going to help fund him, that would be a different story, although some kids are actually given enough of a scholarship they do not need their parents.

And what about San Diego was a shithole?

Kids always need their parents... anyway we weren't talking about you forbidding him to do anything...We were just discussing options...

I think he is enamored with California.

Usually, the ones hollering the loudest about how horrendous California supposedly is are MAGAs who rarely have ever been to the state, and live in the Oklahoma panhandle or the corn belt of Nebraska, etc.
