OT: $94 mil HS Stadium

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

The high school graduation rate among whites in Texas is the lowest rate among whites in any state in the US.

Mexico has Whites.

I wonder how New Mexico ranks in test scores. They also have a wanna be dictator as Governor

Schools in NJ have more commitment to education in schools.

19%, Such commitment

Wealthy towns are different. If you have the interest in the sport that requires a facility with seating for 5,000 people, $94M is probably what it costs. My buddy sends his kid to a private school with a $100M sports complex. Said one donor paid for the whole thing by selling one painting.

What a world.

You want those #s to improve then you would need to remove the teachers' union. If the American educational system is to be saved there needs to be a US Constitutional amendment outlawing all teachers' unions. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening and that is why we will eventually achieve third world status within a few more decades.

Texas does not have a teacher’s union. So I assume the TX public schools are superior to NJ?

NJ’s TU is EVIL.
Sick people run it

You're really defending $90m on a high school football stadium? It's a very poor use of wealth. They could send that money to cancer research somewhere.

Lets cancel all fun. That will save tons of money.

The stadium was voted down. Just FYI

The Houston Federation of Teachers is affiliated with the Texas Federation of Teachers (Texas AFT) and the 1.7 million-member American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

$90 million of tax payer money on "fun." Perhaps lots of tax payers would like to spend it on other things that are more defensible.

So this is a “Deep State” type conversation? I’m interested in learning more from your vast experience in the board rooms of Big Pharma. Be careful and make sure there isnt a black van outside your home first.

Christ.

Take that, peon.

So rather than reap the revenue rewards from the biggest blockbuster drug in the history of mankind, even if for a finite amount of time, Pfizer would prefer to risk that Merck discovers a similar drug in 2024?

In what universe does that make sense?

exactly....being first to market is what matters most. better to make a killing for 20 years and a major stock and market cap gain than a competitor doing it instead.

My wife works in public schools in Texas. She has been a high school counselor for over a decade. There is a voluntary union you can join that costs $89 a year when I last checked. She is not a member

I know who you voted for.

Then either move to a state where they wouldn't vote for HS football stadiums or vote against the measure

HS football is huge in Texas - I would love if it got a fraction of that big in New Jersey
Friday nights lights would be awesome here

Lol I find it ironic that certain people complain endlessly about government waste, yet are ok with $90m on a stadium for a high school.
