Traditional education is just way too expensive, inefficient, inconvenient, and inflexible so it is extremely vulnerable to creative destruction (which is happening already).<br /><br />Employers mostly don't look for Renaissance guys and gals, they mostly look for people with very specific accredited skills and experience. This means that general purpose educations are much less important than specific sets of courses that will allow a student to get a job. Every so often people will have to take some more courses to earn a new accreditation that will enable them to get a job in a changing economy. These people are not going to quit their jobs and go to a university, they will take the courses they need online over the internet.<br /><br />Universities are going to shrink radically in size and influence.<br /> Steve Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13077530042599697923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-81752403852549856152013-06-05T20:33:06.499-05:002013-06-05T20:33:06.499-05:00garage mahal doesn't need to post no stinkin&#...garage mahal doesn't need to post no stinkin' links!<br /><br />In liberal land, the Truth is anything that supports the liberal cause.

Now,good faculty are getting harder to poach, so I think they should start by doubling the size of the administrative and support staff. The talent will follow when they see how cushy things are. Madison's clout will grow even more. <br /><br />A potential downside would be the cost of living and perhaps more urban sprawl, but that good be checked by halting new building permits in the surrounding communities. Current Madisonians will go for it because their property values will easily rise enough to offset rising taxes. It's win-win. This also accelerate gentrification of any remaining neighborhoods which need it. <br /><br />Tell me why that isn't a seriously good proposal. chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-65987584774153736872013-06-05T17:49:44.586-05:002013-06-05T17:49:44.586-05:00Droolers and mouth foamers, Meth, PMJ and Jay, the...Droolers and mouth foamers, Meth, PMJ and Jay, the trio.<br /><br />Nice to see you back Garage!:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-16984812421617328292013-06-05T16:55:57.849-05:002013-06-05T16:55:57.849-05:00garage mahal said...

Much of the tax base comes from that money, and much of the remainder from taxes collected from outside the city.

Even though, my company has to charge 5% higher prices to offset the higher cost of taxes, regulations, and real estate, the majority of my people want to stay here for the weather and just out of inertia. <br /><br />I'm currently deciding whether to put in an offer on a bigger building locally or keep looking for an out. Once I buy a building, we are stuck here for better or worse. <br /><br />Being at a 5% disadvantage across the board to our competition is huge, but so is moving 50,000 square feet of heavy equipment and a couple hundred lives. I think I'm stuck here. Gotta make a decision in the next 24 hours. I feel like a sucker staying here. Staying could be fatal, but I don't think I have a choice. <br /><br />If California was run by classic liberals (modern conservatives), like it once was, it could be the perfect place to live and work, again without sacrificing anything.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.com
