Budd Dwyer took a bullet to ensure that his wife would be financially secure.

He was more of a man than Joe Biden will ever be.

a coconspirator turned states witness wrote a book that said that, but after that some local journalists pointed out a bunch of stuff ripping that book to shreds.

so, probably guilty?

"actually if i think about it, trump got a new kind of vaccine out in record time, made sure everyone could get it, and he sent me a good-sized check, trump was pretty good for me..."

It's this that's the best. Unless you're economically secure in a major city on the coasts nearly every single person can literally say that Trump was materially better for them. It's completely inarguable.

There's simply no coherent retort for Trump did more than Biden for people, even the losers and the haters. The only question is whether whatever particular lib you trigger with this tactic is willing and able to weather their personal declining material conditions purely for aesthetics.

I listened to a podcast recently - maybe propublica? - where they were following people counting the days until they hit their 10 years of public service so they qualify for debt forgiveness, dreaming about luxuries like going to the dentist, until the government/banks are like NAH just kidding gently caress you! Legitimately heartbreaking stuff.

So I had two years of payments that magically don’t count (same job, same hours, no explanation why they don’t count) and I applied for an appeal…. Now I have two and a half years of payments that don’t count. :(

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC



quote:

US forgives 40K student loans....

...The U.S. Department of Education has canceled student loan debt for 40,000 people and offered credits to help another 3.6 million pay off their loans under a plan announced on Tuesday.

quote:

Tuesday's actions will bring more than 3.6 million borrowers at least three years closer to receiving forgiveness through what's known as the income-driven repayment program, or IDR. The program, which offers four types of repayment plans, allows borrowers to avoid loan default by lowering their monthly payments based on their income and family size.

IDR also promises loan forgiveness after 20-25 years of payments are made.

quote:

Biden has canceled $17 billion in student loan debt.

quote:

43.4 million borrowers are carrying about $1.6 trillion in outstanding student loans"

The math checks out. The democrats are going to get destroyed.

Student loan debt is indentured servitude with extra steps, deliberately so, in order to bolster military recruiting while guaranteeing the necessary supply of sufficiently educated knowledge workers for the modern economy while preventing any meaningful social mobility and breaking the back of any sort of student protest movement, let alone any sort of labor organizing in the "professional" class while allowing capital to cut that "professional" class off at the knees.

People are getting into six figures of debt going to med school only to graduate and get paid $20/hr as ER doctors working in hospitals owned by private equity companies, hoping against hope that they'll be one of the tiny fraction of people who actually ends up getting PSLF but either way spending the next 30 years chained to a single profession and likely a single employer, because any attempt to improve their situation by changing either jeopardizes their chance of getting that debt forgiven before they loving die.

there are hospitals recruiting doctors now who are making them sign non-competes, which effectively chains you to that employer unless you can afford to move to a new state and start over

I have no trial experience, but if appointed as a judge, I will rule those noncompetes invalid and unenforceable as contrary to public policy

The Democrats won’t do this because they actually love screwing the public in the service of corporations.

My dad no poo poo linked me an article two days ago on that, “dropshipping” for passive income


Telling me I need to get entrepreneurial before considering and focusing on an unrelated field. I feel suffocated rn, just wanna learn something meaningful, worthwhile and doesn’t contribute to social ills without having to bark and clap like a trained seal to make sure I’m worthy of continuing education because reasons. Legitimately just better off applying to an international program. All of this is entrapment and I’m gonna scream rn

you're just a pass through. the customers order from you, but all you do is take their money and then place an order with a supplier who actually makes and ships the product to the customer. so your role is making a real nice website and doing marketing/sales

They think they are just buying from Amazon/Etsy/eBay/whoever, it’s not really obvious that the seller you are dealing with is dropshipping or not.
