Nice of Daily Mail to bury the two real stories - the half a thousand person melee and who was doing the shooting. Maybe show the video of person getting gang kicked into oblivion.

Take your Longfellows! I would be Keats
And sing odes to the oldest of treats
In an open barouche
With a few amuse-bouches
On Parnassus's cobblestoned streets.
[WashTimes] Americans have long viewed a four-year college degree as essential to financial success, but a report finds that most graduates can’t find a job requiring a degree within a year of commencement.
The nonprofit Strada Institute for the Future of Work and the Burning Glass Institute reported this month that 52% of graduates were "underemployed" in food service, hospitality, retail sales, office administration and other fields a year after earning a bachelor’s degree. The study analyzed federal statistics, job postings and online resumes of more than 60 million U.S. workers.
Ten years after graduation, 45% still didn’t hold a job requiring college-level skills. By contrast, 79% of graduates who started their careers with college-level jobs still had such work five years later.

* Farrier Science (horse shoeing),
* Bassoon (playing a 19th century instrument),

With minors in:
Tree Climbing, Getting Dressed, South Park studies, Zombie control, Memeology,
One does tend to limit their career opportunities.

Wasn't really much better in '73. I and one other student standing in the college of humanities graduation line were the only ones with jobs lined up immediately after the ceremony. Both of us were in uniform.

This is why it's important to also consider those icky specialized manufacturing and construction trades.
Those kids make a decent wage while learning and, when fully trained and qualified, make really good wages. A lot of the mid-20's 'qualified' folks at our construction industry company, with overtime, earn near or in the six digits during a typical year.

Farrier Science (horse shoeing), speaking from experience in all fairness it's hard to find a good farrier these days and has been for quite a while.

I so move that 'underemployed' be recognized as 'overeducated'.
There is an implement dealer and service who partnered with a community college, depending upon how much time student pledges to be an employee after graduation, the company picks up more of the education tab so long as student takes and completes successfully certain trade classes.

I know quite a few electricians and plumbers who started in the 70’s, owned their own business, retiring out as multi millionaires.
A few have homes in the Midwest, lakefront properties, and Florida condos all paid for.
No reason to doubt future generations of tradesmen couldn’t do same.

So all this hand-wringing about men not going to college and getting degrees as much as women do is just further proof that men can figure these things out faster than women can?

^Nope. Men are just made feel unwelcome. Also women have higher grades because high school materials are female mentality oriented.

Perhaps the overeducated at Washington Times could be a bit curious and look into all the overeducated kids serving TV Dinners at premium prices, or can't make change without the machine, or don't have the body to deliver packages, what their degree/extent of university time are, and then again by gender?
The online resume providers know. And this is written at a, what used to be, at most a 5th grade level. Making 'reporter' not a college level vocation.

*disclaimer - Wild Ass Guess ensuing:
**By groomed I mean there is a nice feathered job already marked for them, by whatever connection, so long as they get a degree at the right university without hugely embarrassing themself.
I'll go with 10% of female grads were already groomed into a vocation, 20% made it on their own, and 70% are overeducated employees. 20/30/50 for males.
Not playing Its a Man's World, what I'm playing is I have a strong feeling that High School Faculty is putting immense pressure on female students to go straight to Big Name University, many of whom would benefit from a year in the workforce as assistant to the 25 year old barista who holds a degree which had been her high school councilor's recommended collegiate degree choice.
Others, pressured into STEM education who were either not genuinely interested, lacked the aptitude, or lacked the necessary discipline for the field in order to pad numbers.
I put the skew on the last 10 years on the grrlz can do it better movement.

I also think a point of failure is that a potential college student should have at least 6 months employed in a shit job, like dishwasher or register worker, lawn care, etc. as knowledge, self worth, and motivation.
I think the government COVID measures absolutely wrecked this process.

^ Working a summer in a soft drink bottling plant while in high school made me completely certain I did not want to do factory work for the rest of my life.

Eldest son son got back from Afg, got a degree in finance, and is currently a cop. Got his master's, and is trying to work towards his CPA, because "I ain't gonna be a cop forever."

#22 one summer roofing job while college in the GA heat convinced me.
But I did admire the skill it took those dudes to climb ladders with 75lbs of shingles slung on each shoulder while downing miller ponies

Re #22: I spent the summer after my freshman year working a plastics injection molding factory. It was hot, I had to stand for eight hours, it was boring. My dad had done similar work for years.
That summer convinced me that I was going to finish my degree in math/computer science if it freaking killed me. Luckily my grades were good enough that it wasn't a problem.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Chinese couple working at Canada's highest biosecurity lab were secretly sending information to Beijing and mailed live Ebola to China, a bombshell investigation has found. In a 600-page report released this week by the Canadian intelligence service, the pair were also accused of allowing visitors into the lab who tried to leave carrying plastic bags of vials containing an unknown substance.
Dr Xiangguo Qiu and Dr Keding Cheng were found to have left visitors with ties to the Chinese government and military unsupervised at the facility. The report also accused the pair of being in communication with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the facility at the center of the Covid lab-leak theory, without informing superiors.
The Canadian National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where they worked as researchers, is the only BSL4 lab in the country — and the only one to hold Ebola, as well as other deadly viruses like Marburg and Lassa fever. It has now been ordered to tighten its security over the leak, with universities told their funding could be cut if they are found to be collaborating with foreign institutions — like those in China.

Imagine the Postal Dead Package office then building a pallet of misdirected packages. Putting it up for auction and a Bins liquidation center getting it.
Where a 1,000 people handle it and also ask the package be repeatedly open for inspection then resealed.
People WAKE UP,
Communist China is definition of the term "Frenemy".
Because Free World corporations and the current DC regime treat it like our Friend, the whole time its really our enemy.
Or wasn't Covid-19, Swine Flu, Bird Flu and etc... proof enough.
Plus they produce and control most of our life saving medications.

Dr. Qui and Dr. Cheng are not the traitors. They were agents of the CCP, doing what CCP agents are expected to do. The traitors are the ones in the Canadian government who hired them.

I don't imagine the postal package was properly labeled.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
