I wish I were this naive
Clicked on "Department of Education" and this is the first sentence:
Federal education policy should be limited and, ultimately, the federal Department of Education should be eliminated.
The second paragraph praises Milton Friedman, someone who should be up there with Kissinger in terms of what a disgusting piece of shit he and his followers are. If anyone wants to know what's about to happen to the US, read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine to see how it's gone when we've had our "free market capitalist" hands in other countries' business. It makes me physically ill. I hope all the gEnOcIdE jOE people understand what this place, and several other countries, will look like with trump in office.
I think the thing about whether someone's name is "ethnic" sounding having an impact on hiring has some research behind it, as well as other aspects of racial and ethnic discrimination. How much someone's name impacts other areas of their lives, idk.
Would still be a little difficult for people living in apartments. I always think about this when it comes to EVs, and owning "dumb" cars and maintaining them yourself, which I would like to do. My apartment complex has 3 or 4 EV chargers, which are assigned. So you would have to rent the apartment that comes with the EV spot, which I'm sure makes the rent go up by far more than it's worth. And no way is there room to work on your own car within the assigned spaces. No guest parking either. I guess it's just more stuff to add to the "cycle of poverty" list
Students were given the opportunity
Funny way to phrase that.
Point is that not everybody enjoys getting paid while being sick
What
Sociologist Matthew Desmond has an amazing book called Evicted that talks about criminal act evictions and profiles people who have been the target of them. The book follows very low income renters in Milwaukee through years of their struggles to find and keep housing. It also follows individual landlords from the same neighborhoods. It's technically an academic subject and is impeccably researched (the notes section in the back could be its own book) but it reads like a novel. It won a Pulitzer iirc.
He also just published Poverty, By America last year. I've only just started it, but it's just as readable. He explains overly-complicated regulations and social services red tape in a way that's concise and easy to understand, and he illustrates their consequences through his interviews with real people. His books should be required reading for every American.
I would not go to grad school. Especially not in the city the program was in. Unless you're an MBA or in engineering or something ultimately pretty lucrative, I wouldn't recommend Academia Extended Stay to any sane person who values their own time, money, and dignity.
If I had to do it again, I would have gone for a more specific skill. Not the skilled trades. I know everyone's all about that now, but we weren't all born to be electricians. Just something more specific like a counselor, Auto CAD, etc etc
parent plus,
We both worked, my job and hers gave us combined income
That's so nice for you that you had other people to carry your debt burden for you.
While someone's $50k of student loans could be "forgiven", it means that year they will have an additional $50k worth of "income" on their taxes and will be taxed like any regular income would
Maybe one of the best examples of "the cruelty is the point." Jesus.
This is from the first google result. Just like the other comments are saying, he altered bills that came decades after the original legislation.
But at least he's doing something now. That's more than conservatives can say, since they will do and say anything to make everyone else as miserable as they are.
