Not a laughing matter, these citizens do or can expect to experience a lesser quality of american life, as more international and american businesses, and even federal, state and local governments, more growingly rely on providing online services, which can be much less costly to the organizations, than those provided by brick and mortar, telephone call center, and other facilities.

The private school where snobby rich kids from Scottsdale and Paradise Valley go so they don't have to associate with common Phoenix folk.
"Why is there a fleet of Porsches in the west valley? Oh wait. They're going to Grand Canyon University."

Could very well be the worst on-campus University in the United States. It is the only university in the country that would accept anything that walks on two legs and has a pulse. People with sat scores in the 900's get accepted to this school. Also, it has a graduation rate of 29%.
It's business school and engineering school are unaccredited, yet the university was founded in 1949.
Everybody that goes here say they go to the best university in Arizona and they will get connections through Colangelo because that's what the business school is named after. I say again: they will accept almost anyone
