Common interest rates of 30% plus, predatory offers, hell I get real checks in the mail from local loan companies. All you have to do is sign and deposit and you are to their ridiculous terms. The free market needs reigned in.

A good reminder cops are murderers AND bullies.

I wish we had consumer protection in the US, but that's unlikely to happen when corporations own most of our politicians.

They're squeezing every dollar out of everyone who isn't rich. Pricing schemes, greedflation, unnecessary required subscriptions, rent, utilities. There's nothing left to spend because the rich have it all. So of course they're spending.

Yep, they took mine even when they weren't supposed to anymore for at least two months after I got them dismissed for TPD. When I tried to get back the overpayment they literally told me they can do anything they want and I would never get my money back. They were right. At least they never got the 27k back that was cancelled. Eat shit Nelnet.

As someone who struggles with mental illness, but has been lucky enough to not need intervention or hospitalization in my life so far, this seems like another good time to say ACAB.

Wow you showed him, absolutely nobody on the Internet who defends racists.

Imagine being that one downvoter in the sub so brainwashed you think this is a good thing. Believing you're persecuted as a Xtian and fighting some delusional battle for people's "souls".

By all means fuck the other half of the state under voter suppression right!? Houston is so blue that Harris County is the primary reason for their voter suppression. Do go on with your generalizations that make you feel strong and powerful by lumping everyone in a large geographical region together. Especially great character to do so on the premise of people's suffering.

You know we don't have to wait for the country to fall apart violently. There no shame in just calling it quits and everyone apply for sanctuary at their country of choice all at once.

That's a lot of Monet.

Except they wield world ending power in the last near century.

If you've been following the story about a trans man and high school student who was kicked out of the school play in my town then you'll be happy to know that after a bunch of people showed up at the SISD board meeting they decided to reinstate and issue a formal apology. https://www.kxii.com/2023/11/14/sherman-isd-board-trustees-votes-reinstate-original-cast-version-oklahoma/ Sorry if I did this wrong I'm old and trying to learn how to use Lemmy better.

Local student is being denied the role for not be assigned male at birth. Now they've decided that Oklahoma is too controversial of a play and includes graphic scenes not fit for minors so they're pulling the whole show. Bunch of asshats at Sherman, TX ISD.

Edit: I will try to answer any comments I can. I do not personally know the student. I can't really speak for trans folks as I'm just an ally who wants better for this kiddo and all trans people.
