This is racism in action pure and simple. It's funny because these same universities have apologized for doing the exact same thing to Jews in the past.. but now that it's Asians it's suddenly OK.

Depends on the city. There's a good argument to be made that a city like NYC which gets wealthy off the financial industry is a "taker", but it's a lot harder to make that argument about a city like Houston which produces energy or a city like San Francisco that produces technology.

Really all just boils down to the progressive nature of the tax code. Lower income states pat less than higher income ones do. However that isn't as useful for drawing political conclusions as people would like to believe because there's no adjustment for cost of living. Blue states generally have higher incomes.. but also higher costs.

Who even knows what healthcare stuff costs in the US these days. I had it as a kid and it was a LOT of shots. It's definitely not a simple fix.

They have a blood test now, no need for wrecking your shit like this anymore.

They can more or less cure them. You can get shots for a few years that acclimatize your body to those antigens and eventually they will stop effecting you. Also, antihistamines are very effective at blocking the symptoms of seasonal allergies if you're still affected by them.
