Student Loan Reparations (Policy Talk)
Do you really think that's a good idea? I sure as hell don't.

And AOC (et al) are correct. There is a wealth transfer to the student loan companies when that money could be going to things like mortgages and other sectors of the economy.

Student Loan Reparations (Policy Talk)
Here's the obvious answer: they have to pay massive loans back because they took out massive loans. So why did they have to take out massive loans? 1. Maybe they didn't. Maybe they made sub-optimal choices. Go to a juco then transfer in. That saves money. 2. Maybe they picked a bad major, i.e., one with limited earning potential. 3. Maybe they went to an expensive state school, especially if you went to an out-of-state public university. 4. Maybe they went to med school at good old State U. 5. Maybe they went full retard and went to law school at State U. 6. Life is just unfair. If your parent lets you take out "massive" loans while still going to a state school then they have failed (somewhat) as a parent. Especially if you majored in something like liberal arts.

The obvious one is that anyone who had to take out loans to pay tuition/fees at a public university shouldn't have had to do that. That's just absolute bullshit. Back when one could go to university for $6,000/year there were still loans. Low-cost gubmint loans. To say that one should never have to take out a loan just b/c they went to a public university is absurd. Make the loans a reasonable amount (which will entail much more public funding) and a reasonable i rate. But to say to they should never have to take out a loan at all? Ever?

Those are usually the same parents who told their precious snowflakes that they can be anything they want. Money is no object. Education is a noble and worthy goal. Inherently valuable no matter what. Because of this we have kids owing $100k's with nothing but a psychology degree from NYU, or not graduating from Northwest Ohio State College (or whatever) majoring in Radio owing a similar amount. The parents and the students (and the school) all play a role in this stupidity. The biggest idiots are the parents and the students.

Our society places far more emphasis on prisons than on education. And we are reaping what we are sewing. [sic]

Except it is. Or at least it's closer to being paid back than you think. Anything else is awarding a double return. The "return" on the original $40k "investment" (yeah, I know) is from a higher earning potential. If the person didn't get paid more then that's on them. Why pay them according to a time value of money scenario? But here's another approach: don't pay them squat. But do wipe out the current crop of student loan debt, or at least set a limit.

Not following this. Just because some students had to take out student loans doesn't mean higher education wasn't funded properly. Repaying loans for some guy becoming a brain surgeon? Fuck that. Repaying loans for some idiot who took out $100k in loans to major in Radio/TV/Film? Again, fuck that. Repaying loans for the scads of morons who went to a crappy graduate program who now can't find a job? Yeah, fuck that.

Not an issue of "reparations" at all. (couldn't tell if that term was supposed to be sarcasm) The student loan debacle is a strain on the economy. But hey, let's let the "free market" take care of all this, right?

Yes. Literally. Can't wait til someone trademarks "Clarence Thomas Is My N*****", where the "*" are replaced by the actual words. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/us/politics/supreme-court-vulgar-trademarks-foia.html

"Beyond Meat" is neither
There is still so much bad information out there regarding nutrition. All the "light" crap still out there. Hey, guess what, fat isn't all that bad. And it's a heck of a lot better than sugar. And dietary cholesterol doesn't have as a direct effect on blood serum cholesterol as many think. Doctors are some of the most ignorant offenders of bad nutrition advice. But then, many are really more tradesmen than scientists. As they probably should be.

Out of the so-call "Christian" religions, it's the so-called "christians" who call themselves catholic and baptist.

Handicap Parking Placards are Bullshit
Yeah, the people who do this are shit. The placards serve a useful function.

"Beyond Meat" is neither
I just laugh at vegans for any reason. The lab-grown meat is the future. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but it's going to be the only (mass) way.

Man, Ian Curtis was something else. I think Atmosphere is my favorite by them. That's the song playing in the movie when his wife was informed of his death. Just an incredible moment, imo. There was a documentary (iirc, on New Order) where one of the members said it was just so easy writing the music with Ian. They didn't know how effortless it was until he was gone.- Kitchen Knives

ATK recommends this sharpener. *** edit to add *** while watching this, I was reminded: don't use a hard (i.e., glass) cutting board! I know some who do this and it drives me out of mind.- Kitchen Knives

Maybe. There have been countless generations of grandmothers who got along without a $200 Jap knife. If you got the money then go for it. - What are you listening to right now?
