Earlier this month, a detective knocked on Shavon Harvey’s door, in suburban Ohio, to ask about her son. The son had sent a Snapchat message from her phone to his friends, saying there would be shootings at several schools nearby.

She rushed to the police station, where her son was already in custody, but the police did not release him. He was charged with inducing panic, a second-degree felony, and officials kept him in detention for 10 nights.

He is 10.

Legacy admisisons = admitting the kids of people whose parents attended. That's also a huge thing.

But it's only part of what's going on; wealth has a large direct impact too.

As I said downthread:

The key thing about this is that when you build a power plant which burns wood pellets, it takes a whole lot of mature forest, and converts it into CO2; you go from a whole bunch of mature trees to a mix of trees of varying ages. So something like half the carbon in the forest is in the atmosphere for as long as the power plant is in operation.

I have no idea what the brain worm had planned, but the people around him and his funders were supporting him because they thought he could help get Trump elected. Once it became clear that he might actually help Harris win, they withdrew their support.

And that's why the top-level post was looking exclusively at admission rates for non-legacies, who also get a huge advantage from having rich parents

That's usually "I hire my relatives" not "I admit the kids of rich people" — the admissions officers are not generally relatives of the rich.

The crab population collapse happened already, along with the end of the commercial harvest.

I don't think that's going to do much here.
