Rigel posted:If for some reason I was under an ancient voodoo curse permanently trapping me within the state of Wyoming, then I probably would switch parties for that primary to vote for the anti-insurrectionist. I think I'd rather vote for Richard Brubaker (Libertarian) in a general election than change parties for the primary just to vote for Liz Cheney.

I don't believe for a second that a candidate that actually poses a serious threat to the police, religious extremism, fascism, or capital will ever survive the primary. And if they somehow do, they're not going to live long enough to make it to the end of the general election.

I know this take is controversial and worthy of scorn amd ridicule, but I would like it if my dumb square home state would sucked less too. I don't believe in this crap where only the right places get to have good things.

It's kinda sorta free to go to community college or university in Wyoming if you qualify for the Hathaway Scholarship, but I don't know all the mechanics to it because of course I graduated one year too early to get it.

Willa Rogers posted:It's pretty gross seeing prominent liberals like Katzenberg finance an anti-choice candidate like Liz Cheney: I'll immediately get in the ear of anyone I know back home that entertains the idea of registering as a Republican to keep Liz Cheney in the general election or try to stop Foster Freis from getting the GOP nomination for Wyoming governor, but there's some really broke-brained people out there that think Liz Cheney is one of the good ones. It's unreal.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:No. If they are owned by the federal government and Navient or Sallie Mae service them, then you're good. I went to cheap schools, so my saving grace is that everything I borrowed came from a federal source. I was just confused about the ownership of those loans for a minute. My problem is that I was flailing in undergrad for eight years until I finished, so I have more debt than people who went to the schools I went to that finished in four or five years. Would be nice if they just axed everything instead of only a small amount. I'll take what I can get, but yeesh ten grand won't cover enough.

haveblue posted:He was the president. The president decides what's classified and what's not, sets security policy, and is at the top of the executive and military org charts. If you want the president to take national security more seriously, elect a better president It's Trump, so anything is possible. I just would think that there'd be some kind of measure to make sure that crap stays in a secure location and is only available to the President in a secure manner.

HD DAD posted:Same for semi-rural Florida. My mortgage is less than my rent was in 2010. The downside is that I have to live in Florida. I rent, but I'd be paying double this if I had tried to go back to Denver from Wyoming again. Tibalt posted:Pittsburgh is such an interesting case too, because the (relatively) abundant supply and low prices helped insulate the city from the worst of the 2008 market crisis and helped make it an attractive and affordable city to live. But that's rapidly changing, and it's making Pittsburgh a less attractive place at the same time. There's already a shortage of affordable housing, and I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the market follows suit. It's going to turn into another Denver where no one gave a fuckin poo poo until it was discovered how cheap it was and turned into nu-California. I just wanted to try going somewhere east and near a very large source of fresh water for....reasons, and an art instructor I had when I was looking into grad school before the pandemic told me to consider the Midwest or the Rust Belt to keep my living expenses low.

Quorum posted:It's okay, you can tell us about your supervillainous plans to build the world's largest water-cooled supercomputer. It was to get away from the megadroughts in the Rockies  I've known about the insane jump in cost of living for a long time. I lived in Denver right out of high school for a year in 2005-2006 and remember looking at a studio on Cap Hill for $400 a month. I almost settled on a one-bedroom in Northglenn for around the same rate, but dropped out of the for-profit school I was going to and moved to Laramie to go to UW. When I went back to Denver to finish undergrad after dropping out of UW in 2013, it was rocketing to the moon. My sister got priced out of Reno not long after I had to move back home to Wyoming in 2017 after my cheap place to live got sold (thank gently caress I had finished undergrad two months before) and she had to do the same in 2019. I remember her telling me to consider going there because it was cheaper than Denver, then also told me that a lot of people were moving there from California. All I said to her was, "Yeah, because you're next." If I ever see a sudden glut of cars with Colorado license plates, it's time to fuckin run.

So I'm one of those knuckle dragging losers that spent eight years in undergrad and borrowed the entire time. I received Pell Grants in the autumn semester the year I turned twenty-four and got them until I graduated. So I should be getting $20k of dorgiveness, correct?

Eric Cantonese posted:I'm sorry if this is a "do your own homework" question, but does anyone have a link I can share about how student loan forgiveness isn't just an unjustified gimme to people who don't work? I'm being completely off-color when I say this, but someone like that is only going to get that message through to them if it's delivered to their face by a steel pipe. And only maybe. These people are impossible to convince and it ain't worth arguing with them.

Tiny Timbs posted:I'm fine with it I agree. I could have gotten in on the Hathaway Program in Wyoming if I had graduated in 2006 instead of 2005 and gotten cheap or free college. It doesn't affect me, but I'm still glad that program exists. In a better world, there would be restitution for people that did pay their poo poo off, but that would also be a world where the entirety of student loan debt would be forgiven, the cost of education would be reformed, and so on. I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth right now. I'm just worried that it's going to piss off enough people for whatever their reasons are that it might affect an election.

My mom spares no opportunity to cut me down, so she texted me how taxes are going to go up now because of this and a bunch of other bullshit, and how this forgiveness is bullshit because she had to pay off her Parent Plus Loans and how I can't just sign a paper and not expect to pay on a house or a car. I can't wait for this broad to die. Too bad she's going to live until she's a hundred. My whole fuckin' life it's been about how I don't know things cost money, I need a job with insurance, and so on.

Is there a good rundown of how all this infrastructure works and what issues it's facing? Besides the oooming strike, I've gotten an impression that all this logistics infrastructure is about to have all of its human capital retire at once with no one to replace any of it, and by the sound of it this all has to do with god awful pay.
