I think an individual should be limited to a maximum number of votes that they can give to a single story.

The Badgers coach signed a contract $1.5 million a year. More so than [...]

Since when is a free first-class education something to turn up your nose at? I don’t know about the rest of you, but just about every adult that I know has at least some college tuition debt lasting even into their forties or later. College is insanely expensive these days.
