Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer pay tuition thanks to a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies announced Monday.

Starting in the fall, the donation will cover full tuition for medical students from families earning less than $300,000. Living expenses and fees will be covered for students from families who earn up to $175,000.

    I knew Lemmy could spin this into a negative. I was counting on it actually. The most cynical message board hands down.

      True, we should instead just celebrate this small one-off victory and forget the systemic issues that plague us. As long as the billionaires throw us a rare bone, we can leave the guillotines at home ig.

        You mean we cannot selebrate the small victories and continue working for more.

        Don’t be such a sith.

          …so exactly like the top comment Thorny_Insight was responding to?

          Not a strawman. The comment you responded to originally acknowledged both the positive and negative sides of this. Meanwhile, you commented only on the negative side as if we aren’t allowed to acknowledge it. I called you out based entirely on the words you chose to use.

          If this isn’t wasn’t what you intended to communicate, then I recommend you revise your former comment.
