Biden continuing to firm up his stance on "gently caress those people who were pressured to take student loans" lmao

I wasn't planning to go to college if I couldn't significantly cover the cost with scholarships and my trusted adults and guidance counselor all told me I'd be a loser if I didn't get a degree. Lmao

I even floated taking a year between hs and college to figure out what I really wanted and that was abhorrent to them. "you have to go right away!!"

The dumbest argument for means testing is that we will end up giving money to rich people. For one rich people love more money so they aren't going to complain if they get some meager extra amount and two no one who needs it gives a poo poo if they get it if everyone is. It's the stupidest thing designed to appeal only to the upper middle class and conservative politicians that want to give the impression they are better with money than everyone poorer than them so they have to act like stern parents telling children not to spend all their allowance on candy.

*Spends more money on beurocracy to make sure only a smaller amount of people are helped that would be spent helping people that hat might not desperately need it* why yes I am a sensible economic conservative who is smart with money

it also does not make any sense. if some dude making 200k gets an extra 1400$, it will be taxed back in their income taxes. if a lower income person gets it, far less of it will be taxed. the income tax is the means testing.

Exactly, it should be based off earnings, the more money you make the more you get! :downs: Woe to anyone who was too lazy to work full-time in 2020, dunno why they'd choose to shoot themselves in the foot like that

quote:

In anatomical terms, the snood is an erectile, fleshy protuberance on the forehead of turkeys. Most of the time when the turkey is in a relaxed state, the snood is pale and 2–3 cm long. However, when the male begins strutting (the courtship display), the snood engorges with blood, becomes redder and elongates several centimetres, hanging well below the beak (see image).[20][21]
:pervert:

quote:

Snoods are just one of the caruncles (small, fleshy excrescences) that can be found on turkeys.[citation needed]
:hmmyes:

quote:

While fighting, commercial turkeys often peck and pull at the snood, causing damage and bleeding. This often leads to further injurious pecking by other turkeys and sometimes results in cannibalism. To prevent this, some farmers cut off the snood when the chick is young, a process known as de-snooding.[citation needed]
:catstare:

quote:

The snood can be between 3 to 15 centimetres (1 to 6 in) in length depending on the turkey's sex, health, and mood.[22]

yep this is why anytime some lib chud is like “they knew what they were getting into when they agreed to the debt” i start seeing red. i really didn’t know what i was getting into and it makes me furious that the ridiculous high interest rates on these predatory student loans has kept my principal more or less the same for nearly a decade. I’ll be buried under debt i agreed to as a teenager for the rest of my life, and that’s apparently my fault and not an insane sword of damocles this stupid country dangles over every adult who tries to get a degree for no good goddamn reason

and the neo-libs made you get a degree in the first place because they outsourced all low skill jobs to break labor unions. they created every aspect of the system then blame the people who it fails

When I was in high school I got into a good college in Canada that would have been relatively affordable (compared to US schools) and I got into a more prestigious fancy-rear end college in the USA that was very expensive.

Everyone I knew including my parents and my guidance counselor and all my teachers were adamant that I go to the fancy college and I ultimately listened to them. Now here I am unemployed with an unbelievable debt burden. My parents think I am an idiot for listening to them lol

We should additionally keep ~the market~ from inflating to suck everyone dry immediately as well. I think 27/h should be the bare minimum, but I can't find the thing with the math to that right now for some reason.

i went to law school (big mistake lol) and literally the only people that cared about where you graduated from are the Big Law firms that are all about prestige because they cant pretend to justify charging $600/hr for your services without that harvard/yale/stanford diploma on the wall to know how elite your legal mind is (that you were in the federalist's society with the judge's son and used to do blow with him on the weekends)

everyone else its just been "how much experience do you have doing X?" even my first job out of law school they didnt care where i went at all
