Do you even hear yourself, or would you rather me use different terms?

I said a college accept people of of their own abilities and then you argue there are multiple factors to that decision.

Can you read my posts and stop trying to trip yourself up accusing me of being wrong. What the hell is wrong with you?
Ok, I suspected, but wasn’t sure until now. You have multiple personalities.
Everyone can see you wrote colleges accept students based on their academic skills. That is exactly what you wrote so you coming on here now and changing that to their own abilities merely proves what everyone else is saying about you.
Go ahead and use different terms, you already do on every single post you do here anyway. Nothing would change.
If you said red and I told you it was green, you would post next that you never said red.

Lol
Wait for it. Soon the response will be he never said any of that.

You are arguing over semantics.

You knew exactly what I meant and decides rather to attack me instead. It's pathetic.

No, it's not just semantics. Academic skills is only a part of abilities. Other parts are financial, social, and whatever else the "holistic" admission process considers. You should know what you are talking about before you speak.

I do know that, go back to the post. It was about the position money played in terms of access to college.

How do you do this?

Ignore stocks which seems to be your go to example.

If there is a drought, and I have stores of fresh water, and the going rate is usually $1 a bottle. But now due to drought conditions, I have TWICE the demand, with those people willing to pay $2 a bottle, how would you eliminate that extra demand?

Now say I can reliably predict every 3 years or so, there will be drought conditions, and I store extra water in anticipation, how do you eliminate that?

By using force, of course. This is why every socialist state is a strong police state.
