Student scores

Half way through the last election it dawned on me that there was a split between the 30% of people who are college graduates and the 70% who are not. A friend sent me the following: The divide is economic, and it is massive. According to the Brookings analysis, the fewer-than-500 counties (16% of U.S. counties) that Clinton won nationwide combined to generate 64% of U.S. economic activity in 2015. The more-than-2,600 counties (84% of U.S. counties) that Trump won combined to generate 36% of the country’s economic activity last year. I might add that it is the 30% who are concerned about climate change and that make sense.
