Clarification- - Access to Federal Buildings: The indication that they would be "BANNED from courthouses, prisons, & other law enforcement facilities" is an interpretation based on the removal of security clearances. Specifically, this would pertain to federal facilities where security clearance is a requirement for entry. - Impact on Official Duties: While their access to federal buildings might be restricted, state officials like AG James and DA Bragg typically do not require federal security clearances to perform their primary state-level duties. Their work in courthouses, which are often state-run, would not be directly affected by a loss of federal security clearance unless there's a specific need to access federal facilities.

The operating costs for MIT and Harvard University, particularly when including research programs, are complex and can vary annually due to numerous factors such as inflation, changes in funding, and shifts in research focus. Here's a summary based on available information: **Harvard University:** - **Operating Costs:** In fiscal year 2024, Harvard University's operating revenue was $6.5 billion, with expenses slightly higher, leading to an operating surplus of $45 million. Compensation (salaries, wages, and benefits) was the largest expense, accounting for over half of the total operating costs, totaling $2.6 billion. - **Research Programs:** Harvard's endowment, which was about $40 billion in recent years, plays a significant role in funding research. In fiscal year 2024, the endowment distribution covered about 35% of the school's operating budget. Specific to research, approximately 7% of endowment spending directly supports research costs, with other funds indirectly supporting research through professorships, scholarships, and infrastructure. - **Total Cost:** Including tuition, fees, research, and maintenance, Harvard's total operating cost can be inferred to be around $6.4 billion for fiscal year 2024 from the financial report. **MIT:** - **Operating Costs:** Specific comprehensive figures for MIT's total operating costs, including all aspects like research, are less directly available in the provided data. However, MIT's approach to funding research includes tuition subsidies for students engaged in thesis or research work, suggesting a significant but not quantifiable portion of their budget is dedicated to research. - **Research Programs:** MIT's research is heavily funded by external grants, contracts, and endowment income. The university's structure allows for flexible funding of research through various departments and labs, with a significant portion coming from federal grants, industry partnerships, and its endowment. - **Total Cost:** While exact figures for MIT's total operating costs including research aren't detailed here, the involvement in cooperative and practice-school programs indicates structured expenses for integrating research with education, alongside tuition adjustments for research-focused students. **Key Points:** - Both institutions have endowments that significantly support their operations, including research. Harvard's endowment directly contributes to research funding, while MIT's supports through various indirect means. - The costs include not only direct research funding but also infrastructure, faculty, and student support, which indirectly fuels research environments. - Financial aid and scholarships at these universities also reduce the actual cost borne by students, indirectly affecting the universities' financial models. For precise, up-to-date figures or deeper breakdowns, further investigation into each university's annual financial reports would be necessary. Remember, these costs can fluctuate based on economic conditions, funding availability, and strategic institutional decisions.

@WallStreetApes They should also consider making penalties for those who act on leaks and try to take advantage of it

@WallStreetApes It’s time to make stiff penalties for those who leak and consider them felonies, especially against law-enforcement
