Screw them.

The Very Stable Genius has been telling Harvard to start doing what he says and if they don't, he will cut off their government funding. Harvard, on the other hand, has been telling Trump he is an idiot and they are going to do whatever they want. As a result, Trump has cut off their funding and they are suing to get it back.

Here's the thing...

Harvard has an endowment (aka an investment fund/bank account) that is worth more than $53 billion dollars.

Can someone explain to me why the government has been giving my tax dollars to a business (Yes, Harvard is a business. It is in the business of selling an education to people.) to the tune of $2 billion dollars a year when that business has an investment account that is in excess of $50 billion dollars?

Let's assume Harvard is managing its endowment poorly and has only been earning 4% a year. That would give them an annual return of about $2 billion dollars. Why do they need my money if they are earning $2 billion dollars a year?

Screw Harvard, they are being a dick. They don't need my money.

On the other hand, Trump is also being a dick, just not about Harvard.
