More figures on how parental income influenced where #students go to #college. Top income kids go to top colleges—no surprise, thanks to #legacy #admissions. Public #schools seem to be more fair.

#Musk’s growing power and anti-union stance resemble #HenryFord’s #autocratic tendencies. His influence over regulations and safety violations raises concerns, given his wealth and industry dominance.
Musk's actions, like disrupting his #Starlink network for political reasons, also highlight his influence on policy decisions.
