App Professor just wants to be paid as much as a Dominos driver

I don't know anyone who thinks that they themselves, are overpaid.With that ,the last time I looked, the US spent more money on education than anyone but there were vast differences in how the money was spent.And the results.I do think we are top heavy and that classroom instructors should get a larger share.

Rome didn't fall. It evolved into wide range of successors states that still exist today in almost a direct line of unbroken history, and the Roman Catholic Church (and its offshoots).

So you're saying secession is an option and NY and California would be international travel? I'm ok with that.

I was saying I see the late antiquity period as more of an evolution instead of a "fall". Your use of the word "secession" is a good one. It is probably a better word to use, rather than conquest/invasion/collapse/fall/etc, as an accurate description for the formation of the Frankish and Gothic kingdoms at the end of the Roman era, since the local Romanized elite and the Latin culture remained more or less intact.

But if that is the way you want to interpret it, as a US state seeding, then knock yourself out. I would not stand in the way of any state that wanted to secede, no matter how good or ill-advised I may think it to be.
