Pretend Stanford student lived in dorms for 10 monthsTue, November 1, 2022 at 2:23 PM STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — A man pretended to be a student and lived in several Stanford University dorms for at least 10 months, a university official said Tuesday. The university’s Department of Public Safety cited the man for violating the law the first time he was found living in a dorm in December 2021, but that didn't deter him, Stanford spokeswoman Dee Mostofi said in a statement. Since then, campus police officers have obtained multiple stay-away letters, a prerequisite to citing someone for trespass on campus, but they weren't able to locate the man until last Thursday, when they gave him a stay-away letter and removed him from campus, Mostofi said. She said the university has protocols and policies to prevent non-students from entering and living in the dorms, but that the man's "persistence and ability to ingratiate himself with our student community has made it clear that gaps exist in those protocols.” Some staff in individual dorms were notified of the man’s presence, but “there were no broad communications about him to all Stanford residences,” Mostofi said. She said the university will review its procedures to prevent such an incident from happening again. Mostofi didn't provide any other information or answer questions emailed to her. The Stanford Daily reported Monday that the man had been living in a dorm's basement when police found him last week and that he had lived in at least five dorms.

Want to know something messed up? I was at the VA cafeteria a few weeks ago and the food was incredible. Basically a full breakfast buffet of fresh cracked scrambled eggs, 2 types of potatoes, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, etc. I paid $4.50 for a little of everything with a coffee to boot. Better healthcare and better food service. Listen to Fox News all you want about socialism, but it seems to be working a heck of a lot better than that other option. |

Nah. No corporate bullshit or Wall St stealing trillions from the working class year after year like your worldview offers. Just better products at better prices. How can that be? |

As far as I know, the Veterans Association is Govt funded in many ways........
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a Cabinet-level executive branch department of the federal government charged with providing life-long healthcare services to eligible military veterans at the 170 VA medical centers and outpatient clinics located throughout the country. Non-healthcare benefits include disability compensation, vocational rehabilitation, education assistance, home loans, and life insurance. The VA also provides burial and memorial benefits to eligible veterans and family members at 135 national cemeteries.
In Fiscal Year 2016 net program costs for the department were $273 billion

That's what I thought. I'm sure there's something about keeping the price at a certain level. Like maybe no rent? Something to allow for cheap meals |

Like I said. A better product at a cheaper cost. Granted it’s not hard to do compared to our current abysmal private healthcare system that the rest of us are stuck with. |

Stuck as in both parties, even the one that's supposed to be looking out for the people are fine with letting our health and well being be entered into a system that by its nature has to squeeze out as much profit as possible. How do we get something that's good for the people? Most Americans want single payer which is why Obama promised it then turned around and gave us a system that was more of the same, i.e. great for the corporations and ruinous for the citizens. |

I'd disagree.
For instance, since the ACA began.......they've signed up millions that don't want to pay at all. Hence, making it all the more expensive for others that do pay. Just like so many other areas in our lives, especially where the Govt gets involved.

If you want everyone to be able to afford healthcare where the insurance companies are free to raise premiums whenever they want, you have to get everyone a good paying job. Instead you blame the victims of a corrupt and broken system. Lazy way out. |

How do you force those that refuse to work?
The lazy way out is to play the system and be on welfare for generations

So no answer for how to get good paying jobs. Why do you think capitalism struggles so hard with such a basic thing anyway? Not enough trickle down economics maybe?  As far as your new topic. I guess you could force people to work dead end jobs by taking away what little safety nets there are. Oh right, we do that already. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) |

The surest way to get a good paying job is to acquire some skills that are in short supply and in high demand. Being a peon or a cog that is easily replaced is sure to leave something to be desired in the wages department. And that entire 'Living Wage' debate is a farce.
Dead end jobs? Which jobs aren't dead end? As in, which ones won't find a replacement for you if you get really sick or die? Which jobs are the dream jobs that require the least amount of time at work, offer the best of income and a secure retirement years before the average person? Pet Groomer in Fantasyland?

It's like you only skimmed through the post and maybe read 3 or 4 words. NM I actually do that a lot too.  |
