LOL, that was my first thought as well.

This fact is why I’m unwilling to give Biden credit for the half-measures and posturing on this issue. Yes he forgave some student debt, and that’s definitely better than nothing, but he had Congress for two years and could have done more.

He’s unilaterally forgiven student debt via Executive Order several times, but couldn’t find the balls to forgive all of it. That makes sense, as his presidency and every presidency since Reagan has been propped up by the monied interests profiting vastly off permanently indebting young people.

Solid points all around.

Further, even if it would be largely ineffectual (which it won’t), we should make it inconvenient for billionaires to dodge taxes, just as some states make it inconvenient to obtain guns.

I’m getting stuffed animal versions made of my pets before they pass so I have something to snuggle when I reminisce about them one day.

Yup.

Saw this on Al Jazeera and I think it’s a fairly solid opinion. My parents are in their eighties and driving for DoorDash (in my car, on loan), and if they don’t, no one in the Biden/Harris administration would lift a finger to help them, and they know it. I’m almost certain they voted Trump but we have a family rule where we don’t talk about politics anymore.

Or terrorists.

Both work in this case, but “settlers” is way too sanitary a term for what’s happening here.

This is what you voted for, America.

Not all religion is bullshit, but there is a lot of crossover between religious teachings and bullshit. That’s why they invented the word ‘faith’, because they are self-aware of the incredulousness of it all.

Like the utter bullshit in this article, as if 7th Century teachings have anything to say about VPN’s.

Respectfully, you think I’m denigrating Islam because it’s different from what I believe?

No.

I’m simply pointing out what, to anyone who wasn’t raised in it, is obvious stupidity.

Really wish our species could evolve past this moronic, religious bullshit.

Of course. Everything that doesn’t align with your point of view is a bot.

Obviously.

You don’t. That’s what the homeless people are for.

But, it’s not impossible to move up. When oil crashed in March 2020, several companies’ stock, which you can purchase on Robin Hood or any app-based exchange, were down to pennies. Those shares are now trading for $15-$25 dollars, so even if you bought a small amount, you made a tidy profit. It’s how I paid off my student loans.

Trump, in his largesse and incompetence, is likely to inadvertently cause a market crash somewhere in the next four years, so I’d encourage you to save at least a few bucks if you can from each check against the possibility of being able to buy stock super-cheap in the wake of a crash. If you have the patience to hold your stock for a year or two, it’s rewarding.

I really want to admire this guy’s courage, but with everything that’s happened in Haiti, it feels more like stubborn stupidity at this point. I hope things change and he comes through this okay, because he sounds like a pretty rad human being, all things considered.

I think the lack of correlation between public opinion and government policy is more than satisfactory to demonstrate how much our federal legislators care about your phone calls, yes.

Also an excellent way to end conversation about a controversial topic when needed.

LOL

Sure they do.

Deleted mine two years ago.

Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

they didn’t think Democrats cradled their balls sufficiently.

I mean, when the vast majority of the country are working 2-3 jobs to barely survive, it’s shocking they lost when they spent the entire campaign telling these people to be joyful about it. Dipshits, indeed.

fixing it fast enough

Wow.

The next election isn’t for two years and you’re already slinging excuses.
