Macquarie University is currently doing it.I've never been involved in a welcome to country at uni in two seperate stints.
I have no idea what you're talking about. When was your last university experience?
On a utilitarian basis this is asolutely what's best for the world.![]()

Long-standing federal guidelines prevented federal contractors from operating segregated facilities, like restaurants or waiting rooms.www.msnbc.com

Still full steam ahead with whats best for the world I take it?![]()
No utter ****ing idiots and weirdos coming out the GOP though, no siree bobIt's like some people don't pay attention to how many utter ****ing idiots and weirdos come out of modern day universities.
Ok, so you've actually (kinda) engaged here, good stuff.On a utilitarian basis this is asolutely what's best for the world.
In a dream scenario everyone would get a tax cut, but I guess you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelet.
Trickle down + incentivizing wealthy Americans to stay / return to the US and provide more tax income to the US overall.Ok, so you've actually (kinda) engaged here, good stuff.
Whats the rationale for further wealth transference to the top 1% from the working poor being good? Is it just trickle down stuff or...?
Provide more tax income? They just got a trillion dollar tax cut. How many more billionaires flooding into the US would be required before the working poor (who have just had their benefits and working conditions nuked so those at the top can continue to be billionaires) will see some benefits? What are those benefits exactly?Trickle down + incentivizing wealthy Americans to stay / return to the US and provide more tax income to the US overall.
Yeah it's a pretty well known fact that increasing tax thresholds leads to a loss of net tax income and the opposite is true. I'd hazard a guess that 80%+ of US income tax is paid by the top 20% of income tax earners. Those top 20% are also the ones with the most financial flexibility to move their situation.Provide more tax income? They just got a trillion dollar tax cut.

Has trickle down worked at any stage? Can you give any examples? I've just had a quick look and the main issues seem to be;
Lack of Empirical Evidence
Numerous studies, including one by David Hope and Julian Limberg of the London School of Economics, have found that tax cuts for the wealthy do not lead to meaningful improvements in unemployment or economic growth.
Increased Inequality
Instead of benefiting the broader economy, tax cuts for the rich tend to exacerbate income inequality, with wealth accumulating at the top while the bottom 90% see little to no benefit.
Ok, and how is that going to work out for everyone besides billionaires?Yeah it's a pretty well known fact that increasing tax thresholds leads to a loss of net tax income and the opposite is true.

Imagine wanting to go to uni in order to study robotics, space aeronautics, cybernetics or advanced medicine to benefit mankind, but instead, having to deal with ideological nonsense on a day-to-day basis.lol

Imagine coming to this conclusion simply because educational institutions teach that history and black people exist![]()
The substantial majority in the top 20% are not billionaires, they're people like me and you who work hard, earn a lot of money and contribute a lot to society, both through taxes and through spending into the economy. Attacking billionaires is silly.Ok, and how is that going to work out for everyone besides billionaires?
Right so right wingers deserve their mess because they are less educated, but left wingers who are more educated, don't.Might wanna check out how places like Louisiana and Mississippi are going mate, 3rd world shitholes in parts. There are pockets of dumpster fires everywhere in the US.
But sure, its coz uni's exist and woke ideology![]()
Forcing a political agenda is no way to run ANY school.Macquarie University is currently doing it.

I'm just as concerned over the executive orders that are escaping public scrutiny.Ok, so you've actually (kinda) engaged here, good stuff.

So The Australian is making it up?If true, that's sad.
The Australian aren't a credible source on anything the IPA has an interest in though.
That in no way suggests education should be avoided. We should be discouraging ignorance, not actively advocating for it.
Yep. Social Progress is not Actual Progress.So The Australian is making it up?
No one is suggesting avoiding education. It's just that universities seem to have forgotten why they are there, which is to encourage critical thinking and disseminate the wisdom accumulated by Western civilisation since the Enlightenment to the benefit of society. As well as training the next leaders in research and public service.
If you've been to any university in Australia you're likely to have come out at least subconsciously subverted by left-wing ideology which permeates most humanities departments and student activist groups. It's self-perpetuating. Graduates become teachers and leaders, and so it goes on. Students like to belong so they accept these ideas as the right ones.
Where do you think the current focus on race, gender, identity, colonialism, oppressed/oppressor paradigm, white supremacy and privilege, climate catastrophising, equity, rejection of religion and capitalism, have all come from? I've been to university, in the 1980s before all this extremism really took hold and even then we were bluffed by the lure and excitement of casting off the stodgy old ideas and forging a new brave path forward. Unfortunately, the old ideas had stood the test of time and there are very few of the above items that have achieved mainstream acceptance.

And if you waste time on social causes A,B,C,D etc... all the way through to Z, you have little if any time to even try to accomplish what you actually want to do.One of my best friends works at Deakin Uni. Every time they have any kind of meeting they do some kind of bullshit acknowledgment.
