At the very moment when we know the skills of college are more valuable. No matter what you read, we know the lifetime earnings of someone with a College Degree are considerably greater. We know the new knowledge economy, the one bursting and growing, the one the country wants to compete in, is requiring the skills of a college graduate. And its not just their stem skills and their programming. Its their writing skills. Its their critical thinking. Its their problemsolving. Without those, we will not bring the 2. 3 Million High School students every year back to be part of a flourishing national economy. So we know we have to do it. And im going to give you some examples of ways i think its working well at unc. Things i think can be scaled. First of all, you have to build universities that draw in the talent of people from
Sun, that we reset nature reset its clock in 2012, and this effected everything as far as our weather goes and as time goes on, the taps will rebuild themselves and it is natures way of resetting the clock in other words. Does he know anything about that . Thank you. You know, there are a lot of theories and there has been a lot of research and things like the orbital wobble of the earth the wobble on its axis, solar cycles, sun spot activity and so on. And i think clearly there is a huge natural variability in the earths climate and over long periods of time these big things, these big astronomical things and sun spots and earths orbit play a role. I would just say in terms of the data that we have we see natural cycles, over 100year periods and over roughly 1,000year periods and were in between the ice ages and the interglacial periods with 10,000 to 12,000 years an the ice age is 100,000 years an were late into the interglacial cycle and that is allowed human beings to develop and f

They have the ability now, the capability to react much quicker, to move forces all around the country to go back and take over those District Centers.

So, for instance, again, getting back to the tofels, if you have four or five different products under the current suitability rule that are suitable and product the first product, the variable annuity generates 26,000 a year in fees and another product, which would have a comparable return has a fraction of those fees, you have per verse incentive to steer them to the product that generates the most fees. And again, that is totally permissible so im not casting aspersions on the person that does it. Im saying thats not right.
