If COVID is a dangerous Chinese bioweapon that was unleashed on us to kill us all, then how can it also be a complete non-issue that is less dangerous than the flu? If there was some secret government program to bribe hospitals to report deaths as COVID deaths, then why didn't Trump cancel this program since he was president and Republicans controlled both the Senate and the House of Representatives? In fact, why didn't Trump destroy the deep state and arrest Hillary and Obama, given that he had four years to do so?

There's two different schools of thought on this and sometimes chuds will believe both of them depending on what's more convenient, but the answer is either 1) it was a Chinese bioweapon that was unleashed on us, but it wasn't to kill us, it was to give the evil liberal governments of the world an excuse to take away our freedoms and destroy our economy in the name of safety from the virus. The virus is less dangerous than the flu, but the government wants you to think it's dangerous to make our freedoms easier to take away. Or, 2) the virus is deadly, but only if you don't take Ivermectin and HCQ, which are the cure for the virus (along with megadoses of vitamin C). Also the vaccine makes you more likely to die of the virus, as you can see from this data that I've cherrypicked to say that the majority of deaths were from vaccinated people. But the government is forcing vaccinations on people and refusing them the life saving horse paste to purposely kill people. Nebrilos posted:If there was some secret government program to bribe hospitals to report deaths as COVID deaths, then why didn't Trump cancel this program since he was president and Republicans controlled both the Senate and the House of Representatives? He wanted to, but that gosh darn Fauci and Gates and the Deep State just kept thwarting his efforts.

Which isn't to say I think he got Russia-hacked and blackmailed, but just the timing was funny.

some what related to that, there's an Australian newspaper(news website??) Crikey that said the Murdochs have responsibility to Jan 6 stuff, Murdoch's son threaten to sue, and Crikey said do it bitch. Also Fox News apparently has another US lawsuit against it??

Anyone can threaten to sue. Bullies do it all the time! Unsurprising that'd be Hannity's response. That said, it's laughably easy to prove he's lied on many occasions, the waterboarding example being top of the list.

Hannity was pretty upset about Biden actually doing an unquestionably good thing today. Started off saying it was a giant handout to wealthy people, saying Biden doing it was actually illegal (and playing audio from Nancy Pelosi from last year saying the same thing), and the biggest one was saying it would make inflation worse. So okay. I guess if you want to just say "More money chasing goods means that money is worth less, therefore inflation," then sure, technically student loan forgiveness will result in people having more money to spend on things, which would increase inflation. By a fairly tiny amount, but sure, let's just assume this is correct. The problem is that one of the major things Hannity (and the GOP in general) champions is lower taxes. By the same logic that student loan forgiveness will cause people to have more money and make inflation worse, so too would lowering taxes also cause people to have more money and make inflation worse! It's the exact same loving logic! Almost like Hannity and the GOP are being disingenuous or something. Weird. That'd be a first.

Spending money on anything that doesn't kill, torture, or arrest people is a giant handout to wealthy people and drives inflation. On the other hand, spending money on the army or the security state isn't a giant handout to wealthy people and doesn't drive inflation.

There's no mechanism by which the student loan forgiveness can cause any real inflation. First, there's been a payment moratorium on these loans for the last 2-3 years already. So any immediate impact of this has already occurred and is already priced into the economy. The other thing is that these are loans designed to be paid off over a period of 20 years (or the rest of your life, lmao) so it's not like people are getting checks for their loan amount. They just don't have to start making loan payments again which means this $10,000 per person is being split over like 20 years. That's meaningful, but not really anything that's gonna move the needle on the economy in any real way. The real impact of this is going to be freeing up money that can be used to pay for rent or groceries. Then a long term side benefit is that it will be easier for people to potentially take out other kinds of debt later for things like homes, but again, it's $10,000 per person so... pretty small.

Megan McCardle is very mad at Joe Biden for forgiving some student loan debt, and also very concerned about what this means for the economy and the supposedly shaky legal basis for doing this. But, because she's Megan McCardle, she can't avoid saying something hilariously stupid. https://twitter.com/_ElizabethMay/status/1562711670035980289?t=ZlnbZl-AgUVJ_zUJhmDjWg&s=19

Wealthy people don't have college debt. They're wealthy. They have money. Debt Forgiveness is an unquestionably good thing for those who are not wealthy. And like any program that slips through the cracks and accidentally benefits the non-wealthy, it will be good for the economy. I guess this is breaking the brains of anyone with an actual platform.

It's a dent but not absolution. Her brother on the other hand will be debt free after this. So it's a net good but doesn't go far enough IMO, given how some people have paid their entire stated loan off but have the same amount left in interest. It's predatory. But as we have seen time and again, when poor people are given money, they spend it into their economy. So I'd be surprised if we don't see some benefit there. Will the media report it though? I dunno.

It's a dent but not absolution. The IDR caps and the interest freeze when you are a payer in good standing (even if IDR means you're paying $0) are overwhelmingly more important than $10K over time. The cash number isn't meaningless but it's close. The other stuff will have a vastly larger impact on most borrowers' lives. Functionally, wiping out student debt without systemic changes that require a more cooperative senate (gently caress you again, Manchin and Sinema, and also probably SCOTUS on top of that) is an invitation for the next cohort to rack it up without any guarantee of the same bailout. IDR caps and interest coverage put a strong brake on unaffordability going forward, and it does so in a way that does not give a significant majority of the country much reason to have agita at perceptually huge "cash transfers" (that's not actually how it works but try to tell a voter that) to people whose degrees tend towards better economic outcomes in the first place (no, not everyone, but overall it's the case). tracecomplete fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Aug 25, 2022 |
