Participant[quote=ltsddd][quote=scaredyclassic]If the economic benefits to a pregnant woman outweigh the costs of an abortion, then she should be permitted to abort.[/quote]
Assuming that the costs and benefits have been accurately quantified.[/quote]
A kids in the red for a long time, let’s say negative 750k to age 18. Then lost earnings for the woman, lets say 300k.
That’s negative 1,050,000. Kids worth about 50k in the adoption markett, since that’s what people pay in fees to get a newborn. So let’s call it an even negative million. Not sure what the avg 18 year olds worth. But most wont get 1 million In a wrongful death suit. Their earnings are speculative.I’m gonna go out on a limb and say we always come out ahead with a dead fetus. It just makes good business sense to kill the young, and obviously the old as we are
Are about to get busy with.. And a lot of dead weight in the middle.
I wonder what the economic impact of a trump death would be. I have a feeling it would be positive. It would be hilarious to see a stock market spike on news of a trumpstroke.

New Report Says Coronavirus May Have Made Early Appearance in France
A sample taken on Dec. 27 from a French patient with pneumonia has tested positive for coronavirus, nearly a month before the disease was first officially acknowledged to have emerged in France.May 8, 2020 at 4:59 PM #817107
svelteParticipantWe’re up to family member #5 with it now.
This time it’s a 20 something. Works at a grocery store which is where she probably got it. Had to go to ER where she was tested, came back positive.
They told her to go home and come back if it worsened. She’s as sick as she’s ever been I hear.
She is also out of state (all of our family cases have been) and we haven’t seen any of them in a year plus.
Thank goodness we didn’t travel to their states recently.
May 11, 2020 at 3:01 AM #817154GuestOMG, it’s so embarrassing to be American these days.
Our institutions are so screwed up.
Federal agencies can’t coordinate, the pandemic chief at HHS was never appointed even though the law says he’s in charge, the lines of responsibility change all the time….
Illinois is going it alone because the Federal government is useless….
it’s worse than a soap opera. Really, reality is better than fiction!Birx said ‘there is nothing from the CDC that I can trust’ in a White House coronavirus task force meeting

There must be fine printts, like when they want to sell you a timeshare.“America leads the world in testing.”
“Anyone who wants a test gets a test.”

ParticipantThe Cal States have shut down in person classes for fall. Just a matter of time for the UC’s to follow.
May 12, 2020 at 4:27 PM #817195Participantim hoping this somehow presents an opportunity for my little one to sneak in off the waitlist. I’d gladly pay 7.4k for sdsu, even for video, but 14.3k for ucsb seems like a ripoff. 7k a year savings, times 4 years is 28k, keep that invested, maybe have 50k in 5 years, enough to pay for half a year of dental school.
i want the little one to be a dentist. or an orthodontist. i’ll do reception

Most people who get waitlisted get in to schools most of the time, because there is a fudge factor of x number of students that don’t accept and y number of students that later drop out. Every school I was waitlisted for ended up offering admissions either in the fall or spring semester, except MIT.

I’m curious where you’re getting that information.
This website has stats that disagree. I don’t know if those are accurate, and I’m looking for accurate stats on the matter.

…maybe times have changed but every kid that I knew that got waitlisted ended up with a deferred admission to the next semester or ended up squeezing into the fall past and present..with the exception of the really famous schools like MIT who people usually don’t turn down, unless you’re like my sibling that got in pretty much everywhere. This applies to kids from CCA, TP, and Westview.
May 12, 2020 at 7:20 PM #817200ParticipantI think the past was different.
In the old days, 4.2 gpa 1400 plus sat was not an sdsu waitlist. I hear it was more like 3.2 gpa.
It’s like everyone figured out, this is a DEAL
May 12, 2020 at 10:57 PM #817202ParticipantI have a sneaking suspicion that when your parents have a degree and are relatively affluent,college admissions are stacked against you.
