128. This country needs more good jobs!
Mon Dec 2, 2024, 03:41 PM
Dec 2024

And much lower cost education.

That being said, I am worried to death about my niece going way down south for graduate school, Kentucky is bad enough, but Lexington is a pretty good city and she is only a half-hour from home and has many good friends at UK, and did from the start since she was from a town down the road. I just see some MAGA hat young man attacking her in my mind.
