Reruns
New Student Regent is coming! But once again, his letter, while full of "Things are pretty bad" comments, is depressingly devoid of "Here's what we can do" comments. But hey, I'm not part of the selection committee, so don't blame me.
Booooring.
In 2002, Israel’s military budget totaled $9.8 billion, 8.9 percent of their GDP—the United States spends only 3.1 percent.
Well, since Israel is involved in a war against an enemy that can actually hurt it, it seems pretty reasonable that they'd spend proportionately more on their military than we would.
The total of UC Regent investments in companies with subsidiaries in Israel worth $5 million or more is $7,182,195,067.
That number is so made up. Seriously, do you expect me to believe the following:
A) The value of the investment hasn't fluctuated at all from the time you looked it up and now?
B) No cents?
