Ungulates do it better! And a whole lot more!
Word I'm hearing in the Ungulates network is that Musk has a special plan for the Colorado river frontage properties.
The man has a very important goal of reinventing all traditional grazing practices as we have known them for @ the last 3 millenia.

I live right I the middle of all the property he’s buying up. Literally haha. Been crazy seeing it. Anybody else out here btw? Prado development.
Remember when most of OB jumped on every Elon Musk thread to complain that his wealth was built on EV subsidies and government contracts for SpaceX? I do. Now he’s investing it Texas and all is good.
This tells me you're not an alumni of the school. You have no fvcking idea what you're talking about.
There's a few professors at UT that suck ass. I agree. 98% of them are awesome. They hire some of the best scholars in all subjects to teach us. Take their personal advice with a grain of salt. Its not that hard.
Haha...I have a degree in History with an English minor from the University of Texas at Austin, and the last time I looked, I have done extraordinarily well in my life (with zero debt.)
Take your drivel somewhere else, know-it-all dipshit.
Lots of thin skinned people on here…sheesh! Good for you. My point is that in today’s economy it is questionable that there is a payoff to taxpayers for your degree in history. What is your profession, may I ask?
I came from a small town and didn’t know squat; I’m one of the many that looks back ever-so-fondly on my college years as it taught me life, how to think, how to meet people and build relationships, et all. I have been in high tech sales for well over two decades. Does my history degree help? Nope. Then again, an overwhelming yes, it certainly did/does.
The great thing about America is that it’s none of your goddamn business
I personally have major in history with minor in American studies
I also have some post graduate certifications and degrees too
A rich guy buys a lot of land. Didn’t see that one coming since the dawn of civilization.
I have a degree from. Texas in history/Asian Studies.
Lawyer for 15 years.
Now teach history.
Was that enough of a payoff to taxpayers?
My assumption is he was not referring to the classical liberal arts and was more referring to the liberal arts areas of study that have appeared in the last 50 years and evolved out of post modernism and is filled with nonsense.
Just a hunch
I stand corrected. It does indeed appear that he was talking about history, psychology, etc.
I get the point about taking out huge student loan debt for these degrees but I would argue that he is missing some of the point of a liberal arts degree
In the early 2000’s City leaders were trying to push all new development out that way, hence TX 130. Trying to get development off the aquifers. Back when they cared about stuff like that…
What level do you teach history out of curiosity. I’m 15 years in practicing law and would love to get out and teach history somewhere, lol.
Well he likes what Austin used to be. He has already publicly warned the recently transplanted people not to turn Austin into the chit hole they already turned California into and then fled from.
This was mostly in relation to the ‘geniuses’ who voted to not refund the police budget that our wonderful, oh so progressive city council voted to defund.
To be honest, he could look at himself in a mirror, as he could have easily countered the almost $1 million of outside the state money that was used to brainwash 67% of the population.
7th grade.
I saved a lot and look at it as a quasi retirement for someone that needs work too much to retire.
Otherwise that yearly salary that’s less than most months in my last years practicing would be brutal.
He’s a dumbass. Ironically, he could probably really benefit from a liberal arts education.
I studied some Asians when I was in college….
Havent we heard he intends to build a "city of the future?" W/ all the latest tech & a utopian society?
Pretty bad soil out there, COTA can tell you about it
Actually, I graduated UT with a BA in government in ‘84 before going to dental school. I questioned the value of my liberal arts degree even then, when tuition was something like $24 a credit hour after the flat rate for the first 12 hours. When I was in school is when the legislature started seriously ramping up fees. My point in all this is not to disparage education, but rather how we allocate resources. In my opinion, the existing models don’t make sense, and certainly aren’t efficient uses of public dollars.
My wife makes bank so I have a bit of freedom to make a change if I want to. Teaching 7th grade history would be a blast imo. Good on you, hope you’re w enjoying it.
