Can we just launch all politicians to the moon and leave them there? It'd be the highest ratings of anything ever if it was broadcast.

Oh boy. Two primary threads lecturing people on why people just need to resign themselves to vote for someone who isn't going to do anything for them, as if it's actually going to accomplish anything, as if there is any hope at the end of this tunnel at this point, or at least until 2024. Gonna be a fun 6 months.

The Sean posted:Oh yeah, definitely. I'm not even sure if I will vote Biden or not. At this point I'm not, but I'll write in Bernie. Either way, I'm definitely voting in general. I vote in every possible election and I urge others to do so, as well. Pretty much. Biden's reach for the presidency is ill-fated as it is. I don't see anything in him that screams "he deserves my vote!". I'll still go out and vote for everyone else, but loving  if you think that you can force me to vote for someone I see zero merit in just so the other guy who also has zero merit can be voted out.Tell me why Biden deserves my vote; tell me why the rapey swiss-cheese-brained mushmouth deserves my consideration. "Just because he's not Trump" is not a good answer. I hate Trump too. I'm sick of him too. I'm sick of the constant narcissism, the tweets, the insults, the propaganda, the lies. But can you really look me in the face, and tell me, very honestly, that any of this will be any better with Biden? Because I ain't seein' it. This is 2016 all over again, where the most unqualified and unlikely nominee gets pushed into the highest position of power-- except this time, it's the most unqualified and unlikely nominee against the OTHER most unqualified and unlikely nominee. I may have said in the past that I'd hold my nose and vote for Biden, but that was before the rape allegations came out, and that was before I knew more about him, and that was before he presented himself as a demented fool being pushed into the spotlight rather than a nursing home. I'm not convinced anymore.

sit on my Facebook posted:That's because your social and political analysis is utterly juvenile and selfish Instead of insult slinging, why don't you tell us the merits of why Biden would be better? I asked earlier and I'm still waiting for an answer. I can still be convinced! But that actually, you know, takes some convincing, as to why I should hold my nose again and say "yeah, I'll vote for the senile rapist, this will bring a positive change to the nation that we aren't seeing with Trump".

A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1248379618370838531 So wait, I'm on the PSLF plan. Having my payments waived completely fucks up my 120 consecutive payments, doesn't it? I've been doing this for 4 years now, I don't wanna break the chain. However: A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/briebriejoy/status/1248339771933556736 that loan forgiveness does release me from my own personal hell, but it doesn't help the people hit the hardest. Why are these people having such a hard time doing the right thing? Jesus Christ. All you have to say is "student loans forgiven" and you'd win over so many people.

atomicgeek posted:They don't have to be consecutive. 120 payments total, and a missed payment won't erase the other ones you've made. Xombie posted:They don't have to be consecutive. Usually the worst part would be that you'd still be accruing interest during deferment, but interest is currently being waived during the period. Interesting. This whole time I thought it had to be consistent monthly payments. In that case, cool, I'll take it.

Prairie Bus posted:The law is better than that. The text of the CARES act made clear that your suspended payments will count towards your 120 on time payments. Moreover, the Department of Education confirmed this - https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/coronavirus#forbearance-questions. That's.... actually pretty cool. I'm absolutely floored it passed the administration.

Stickman posted:No, payments and interest are automatically suspended through September, and you’ll still accrue credit towards forgiveness is you’re in an eligible program. I'm still having a hard time believing they're throwing us a bone after we've been hosed so hard by student loans. I'm just waiting for the big huge "SIIIIIIIKE, pay tf up loser, also your PSLF is now invalid".

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The new IBR applies to grad loans. It forgives all remaining loan balance once the loan is 20 years old. Everyone with private school loans gets a one-time flat $10k blanket credit 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.

Prairie Bus posted: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. I've been on PSLF for a bit over four years, yeah. Got loans (both subsidized and unsubsidized) with FedLoan, AES, and Navient (obligatory "gently caress you, Navient"), and as far as I know they're all eligible?

FizFashizzle posted:Because all these companies are run as lean as possible, with as little cash reserves as possible, to A,) dissuade hostile takeovers and B.) make that stock number go up baby! cash reserves aint raising that stock price! Oh so it's greed then. Don't wanna say "then you had it coming", but... Hmm. I wonder if this happening will change the way businesses are run in the futu-- hahaha right. The grabbing hands will always grab what and when they can. Like... any reasonable person who isn't already living from paycheck to paycheck knows it's a good idea to keep some savings in case of emergency. Hell, my apartment complex expects you to have a few months of rent pay in stock in case you lose your income. And if a person fails to do that they're labeled foolish and "bad with money" . I'd have thought businesses would have been run with emergencies in mind too. Framboise fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Apr 11, 2020 |

Panaflex posted:My tax accountant filed our 2019 a month ago to ensure we get the stimulus because we wouldn't qualify for it based on our 2018 return and do for 2019. Even though we owe for 2019 he told me the payment isn't due until July 15th which is good because I plan to use the stimulus to pay part of what we owe. I mean, nothing's really changed in my life or income since last year (and I owe roughly the same as I did last year)-- and I make far less than $75k a year. I received a State refund last year and that came through DD, and I'm looking at my 2018 return and my DD info is on there, and yet... I don't have a tax accountant. Not quite sure what to do here.

DeeplyConcerned posted:Submit your return but don’t pay. The fees for late filing are way way more than the fees and interest on the late payment. You can get away with not paying for a few years and only have a bit of extra money to pay but those filing fees add up real quick. I ended up filing and submitted the pay anyway today. Figured I may as well do it now while I get a bit of a state return to soften the blow than wait until July and have to pay the whole amount all at once. The income tax thread I was redirected to told me that because I didn't get a federal refund for the past 2 years, however, they might not have my direct deposit info (even though I used my acct number and routing number to SEND the money to them to begin with), so I should probably expect a paper check instead. Did anyone else owe federal for the past 2 years, not send any additional info to the IRS, and still get their direct deposit stimulus check?

Eminai posted:Trump's loss is inevitable. Also, I must berate anyone that votes Green because they're going to give us four more years of Trump. I do not know how anyone can remember 2016, and look upon the past 3 and a half years, and actually call his loss "inevitable". He was the candidate that Dems mired themselves in hubris over, thinking it was impossible that he'd win. He can absolutely win again, unless some sort of switch flips in Biden's empty cranial cavity that makes him sound intelligent and attractive to voters. Because as it is, I'm not convinced he's able to do it, regardless of what polls say.
