Wark Say posted:: Is there any chance for Kentucky to boot that loving wraith Mitch McConnell off his senate seat come November? It's not looking great. Also due to their highly competent dem governor, Kentucky is going to dodge the mass graves that could drag McConnell down. Also they didn't really go left in their dem candidate; they basically found a trump loving blue dog and hey maybe something will happen who knows.

Phobic Nest posted:A local venue hasn't cancelled its June concerts yet, but I can't imagine they're gonna happen. I know early on there was a lot of stuff that didn't cancel but it was really just a thing where if the act canceled the contract they lost a bunch of stuff like yearly slots and deposits, if the venue canceled they lost the income, but if the city/state canceled there was insurance. So there was a bunch of like trade shows and broadway stuff where they were like "nope, totally not canceled, totally still happening" while the building was already closed and there was zero intention to actually have anything happen.

Framboise posted:I don't suppose that's retroactive, is it. I'd love nothing more than to get out of this job but I've been sticking with it because I've been banking hopelessly on PSLF even though less than 1% of applicants actually get it. Those numbers, while outrageous and frankly reprehensible, probably aren’t representative for your situation. PSLF was very poorly run from its inception until something like 2014, when they finally standardized it. So in 2017, a bunch of people who were told, “Just keep making payments and come back in ten years,” found out they didn’t have the right kind of loans, weren’t on the right kind of repayment plan, or that their employer wasn’t eligible. Since 2014, the administration of the program has standardized and improved. I’ve been paying on my loans for PSLF and I’ve got to reverify frequently, with a special federal servicer that updates me on how many months of PSLF payments I have. It sounded like you’ve been paying for less than five years, so if you’ve started the program you should’ve been funneled to the right place. But sure, who knows what capricious admin will be in place in 2025.

Don't feel too bad though, almost every single art school student is taking out those sort of loans too. Especially if they're desperately trying to get out of some flyover state by moving to a big city with a big art institute. Savannah College of Art and Design would have cost me $120,000 in 2001. Denver University currently charges $1000 a course hour.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1248578583225872385 Yeah, they're absolutely screwed. The restaurant industry already went through a mini-recession a few years ago, and lots of restaurants can't survive even a moderate loss of demand. Tons of restaurants and bars were already starting to see problems a week or two before lockdowns because some small but meaningful percentage of people were starting to be afraid of congregating in big groups. The funny thing is that 2008 actually accelerated fast-casual chain growth because people really wanted cheap options for eating out. I'm wondering if this is going to end up accelerating the growth of restaurants that can focus on drive-through or curbside service, or if it'll just turbofuck the industry because people don't see takeout as an acceptable substitute for dining out.
