CNBC:

There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States, but Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen says that half are bound for bankruptcy in the next few decades.

Christensen is known for coining the theory of disruptive innovation in his 1997 book, "The Innovator's Dilemma." Since then, he has applied his theory of disruption to a wide range of industries, including education.

In his recent book, "The Innovative University," Christensen and co-author Henry Eyring analyze the future of traditional universities, and conclude that online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education, effectively undermining the business models of traditional institutions and running them out of business.

What percentage of their graduates will be bankrupt?

    Well isn't that what the Narrative always wants one side to believe about the other? It was not that long ago that conservatives were sure, absolutely convinced, that Obama was a Manchurian candidate, secret Muslim homosexual communist trained from birth to destroy America. Sounds pretty extreme, doesn't it? Hear any echoes of that radical Othering in what you just wrote? At all?

    As for chaos and high turnover in the Whitehouse, that is universally true of every administration, period, because it is a hothouse environment. Think junior high school popularity contest on crack, interlaced with PCP and given a n unlimited expense account by absentee parents. Hijinks always ensue. The ones out of power always *gasp* about the turmoil and excess like they've never heard of such a thing and can't imagine how nobody's in charge over there and, sob, how very, very worried they are about the country and the message it sends to our young people... in short, it's a passive-aggressive move that whiny bitches pull.

    So put down the pipe, turn off the 24/7 MSM smear-fest, and go for a walk outside. Interact with fellow citizens in the supermarket, in the library, in the workplace. Decide for yourself what you really see. Are people happy to be working and able to pay their bills for the first time in a long time? Are they hopeful about the future for their kids? Those are the real measures of the real state of things.
