hell, you could have the exact same economic situation as today but put a smiling sunshine, "do it for your country!!1!" face on it instead of the blatantly evil corptocracy and people would love you for it. I'm not a scholar but I feel like WW2 propaganda was way more in tune with the average joe and did a better job motivating them to pitch in for your national country. But then again the internet and 24/7 news media may have irreparably changed things.

I dont know how opsec is supposed to work where everyone has a smartphone and is a stupendous dumbass, but I like to remember sailor and a certain congressman that did this thing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_J._May
At this press conference, he revealed the highly sensitive fact that American submarines had a high survival rate because Japanese depth charges were exploding at too shallow a depth.[4][5] Various press associations sent this leaked news story over their wires and many newspapers published it, including one in Honolulu, Hawaii.[4][5]

trump wanted to develop workplace soviets so employees could organize their own covid responses, but was only stopped when jordan belfort called him and told him that was "not hot"

Loan forgiveness program: You get your debt paid off by being in the military for five years, no matter the size of your debt. The size of your debt just determines how lovely/dangerous those five years are gonna be.

I’ve been trying to figure out what the next form of American fascism would look like and I’ve gotta say, while I didn’t consider Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, it seems very logical.

I think the big talking point around loan forgiveness, before they negotiated themselves to stop talking about it at all, was several years of "public service" for 10k debt forgiveness

There's already the PSLF and TLF programs. PSLF is by far the most generous that I'm aware of, forgiving your entire federal loan balance after ten years of payments while working a qualifying public service job. It's still an obtuse, mismanaged mess though.

Yeah. I think it's gotten better, but it's still a mess. The problem is that there's only one servicer (FedLoan), and they're dogshit. The other problem is that the program only forgives certain kinds of loans, and figuring out if yours qualify is not easy. There other other problem is that sometimes it's ambiguous as to whether your job qualifies as public service. Ok, actually, there are a lot of other problems too, but you get the idea.

If you want to see the future of the GOP, look up Lauren Witzke, Delaware's local Q-coo. She went up against Chris Coons last year and lost by 20 points. But she ain't going away. She's only 33. Her generation of complete batshit nutjobs are the future

Lauren Witzke is an amalgam of conservative talking points and blonde publicity photos. Lauren Witzke is not real.
