Invention of the Inheritance Will

upd: there seems to be a debate on the topic, e.g. here http://oxfordre.com/classics/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199381135.001.0001/acrefore-9780199381135-e-2460

Why college costs are rising

Labor markets in U.S. cities today are vastly more educated and skill-intensive than they were
five decades ago. Yet, urban non-college workers perform substantially less skilled work than
decades earlier, and the once robust non-college urban wage premium has largely flat-lined.
....

The urban workforce is disproportionately college-educated and foreign-born, and it has become more so over time.

[T]he second differentiating feature of urban labor markets alluded to above: the rise in immigrant intensity.. In 2015, the rural-urban gap in the foreign-born share of college adults was approximately 35 percentage points, roughly twice as large as in 1970. Similarly, the rural-urban gap in the foreign-born share of non-college adults was approximately 25 percentage points in 2015, again roughly double the gap in 1970. Foreign born workers in turn have a bimodal education distribution: they are disproportionately likely to either have completed post-baccalaureate education or to lack a high school diploma.

I know what Mr. Trump is.
He is a racist.
He is a conman.
He is a cheat.

He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails.

[L]ast fall I pled guilty in federal court to felonies for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in coordination with Individual #1.

For the record: Individual #1 is President Donald J. Trump.
