Aside from the usual whining about being "unfair" and "inflationary", Marc Thiessen has another reason why we should be upset at Brandon's loan forgiveness: are troopzquote:But here is the worst part of all: Biden’s plan is an act of stolen valor. He is claiming authority for student-loan forgiveness by invoking the 2003 Heroes Act — a law passed after the 9/11 attacks to support the men and women mobilized to fight terrorists and to make sure that they did not default because of their military service. The law explicitly states that it is designed to help the “hundreds of thousands of Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard reservists and members of the National Guard [who] have been called to active duty or active service” and asked to “put their lives on hold, leave their families, jobs, and postsecondary education in order to serve their country.” It authorizes the secretary of education to modify or forgive their postsecondary loans on a case-by-case basis “in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency, regardless of the location at which such active duty service is performed.” In 2007, when Congress made the Heroes Act permanent, it explicitly reiterated that it was acting to address “the unique situations that active duty military personnel and other affected individuals may face” (emphasis added). https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/08/31/student-debt-forgiveness-heroes-act-unamerican/

People on both sides of the spectrum being concerned about a train derailment that could be leaking toxic substances sure is a mystery for the ages.

You can, in fact, be a prison and police abolitionist and still think that terrible people like Tate deserve to sow what they reaped. Amazing, I know.

Who is that dickhead and why isn't he being harassed every day of his life for being anti-lunches for children?

I watched that Renegade Cuts video and it was excellent. Looks like it hit a nerve for just the right people.

Everything about higher ed is hosed up: forcing students to go into debt to afford it, getting soaked on textbook costs, and the beep-bloop "what's the cost analysis of this degree's usefulness?" bullshit. College should be free for everyone and pursued as a means to actually learn rather than simply being a hurdle that you need to cross in order to (maybe) get a job. But capitalism can't exist without exploiting an underclass, so here we are.

No, they 100% believe this poo poo, even if they're also trying to get a rise out of her. More than once I've argued for universal health care to have a fuckwit tell me that this means putting doctors and nurses "in slavery" because "then they'll be forced to treat people without pay". It's a successful argument in the sense that it's so breathtakingly stupid that you're taken aback when a grown adult honestly believes that stuff.
