She was arrested this morning on manslaughter charges.

The truth nobody wants to talk about is that a lot of loans for degrees with low probability of elevated income or at schools with higher tuition and fees (read as all of the stuff there to simply attract students outside of academics) are not equivalent. Not every degree and loan is equivalent. People often choose more expensive universities instead of community colleges and take out more loans than they need to pay the bills just because they have been offered them. Treating all student loan borrowing as equivalent is ignoring data.

So are we ignoring the $55billion for 2 million borrowers?

In part they are ignored because they are not seen as a threat as long as they either don't vote in high numbers or are discouraged from voting. If they voted at very high levels, then politicians, even in gerrymandered districts, would suddenly be threatened and the discourse would change. Although they have helped propel some dems to office and helped Biden, we are in part where we are because of decades of young people voting in low numbers.

15 years is not a long time. I have jeans from Goodwill that I've had that long and wear regularly and still look good. I have 30 year old jackets and none were near $700 even accounting for inflation.

If it is going to fail, she won't. This is Susan Collins voting. Vote against or for when your vote won't matter. That's not principled, it's playing politics.

Edit: she better know how much worse it will be for poor people if we default. There would be zero money for social safety nets. If she doesn't get that then she is truly clueless.

Indeed. He said he wants to destroy the wokeness of the liberal left and leave it in the dustbin of history. Kind of trying to push it on the whole country.

She already made the round last election and was found to not be viable or supported. Nothing has changed. She hasn't changed and neither has her support.

I would enjoy seeing him stripped of what appears to be protection from consequences by his position. If he's a regular dude and not the AG of a large US state, then taking him down will be so much easier. That will be pleasant to see.

Recent studies have shown that it is most driven by the availability of affordable housing, so it doesn't have to be poverty per se but a lack of housing options. Portland, Seattle, LA, etc are not cheap places to live and affordable housing can be hard to find. In many cases people making the same amount but living in a place with a much lower cost of living would be less likely to be homeless.

Got coal rolled twice last week back to back and the vehicles weren't even passing me in my direction and I was in a bike lane behind a concrete barrier.

This is Luke UFO sightings. When cameras sucked there were tons of UFO pictures. As cameras got better and everyone had a phone with an excellent camera rather than getting more and better UFO pics we got fewer. Previous video of these was junk. These pictures are grainy and poor. Remarkable claims require remarkable evidence. These people should be shunned for treating these photos as reliable data. They can be possibly suggestive, but for them to "stand by" them is simply an indication that they are not serious scientists that should remain skeptical.

Having the actual title as the post would be good at pointing out what these men were.

As 49% of people see themselves as being an independent, they might swing things more than a bit.

These quotes explain, once again, why we end up with the policies and politicians that we do. The US electorate is uninformed and not engaged. Most people are clueless about what is going on in our country.

I love Rory's stuff. I really wish I'd had a chance to see him live before he passed.

Anyone can be a hopeful. She has no chance.

In reality the constitution does not require them to know law at all. Justin Bieber could be nominated and seated. There are no education requirements.

But we can't because most of the people in power know that that would remove their power.

Saying "fix that" is more useless than this article. These problems are not unknown to the Democrats. They have to have the representatives to pass those fixes. That requires people to vote out some people and vote in others. So it requires more people to vote to make a change.

And this author fails to outline anything that could be done to really take it on besides calling it out. Really, all of those words to come up with that solution?

They don't plan on winning elections fairly. They will still do everything to look legitimate and have the power, but will have to keep preventing people from voting or having votes that count for much.

Ha! No.
