Unfortunately, no. You can't even get rid of that debt with bankruptcy. I have the same government loans. You can apply for forbearance to at least protect your score a bit if you can't pay.
You want to be in good standing (if you aren't already) before the changing of the guards. They will garnish your wages, and it'll be worse than whatever you were gonna pay. It'll so fuck up your credit. Check the interest and see if you can at least start tackling that if it's not too egregious. Republicans are securely on the side of the loan companies and there a chance they'll let them loose with the right bribe or two, and it make get worse before it gets any better.
I always wanted to buy up a bunch of section 8 housing and make the really nice. Like, free wifi, gym, day, care, maybe some simple shops on the bottom floor. It would hold events, regular stuff like bingo or what have you, but also job fair/workshops, health talks, etc. I would partner with local business (hell, even big ones), so people living in my property get discounts for food, clothes, etc by showing their apart key or whatever. I wanted to make a really nice living space for people with lower income because they always get the shittest stuff. I wanted people to have a place of pride to come home to, a place safe for them and their families.
My follow up was to buy luxerh condos/apartments for the stupid rich, up the rent, and use the difference to continue funding my stuff, or, if I didn't need it, make a months raffle or something.
What a fucking snitch. 9.5% of engineers gotta go, but the CEO getting paid buckets and buckets of money isn't draining the company? Fire 9.5% of engineers that actually have knowledge and are skilled enough to demand a high price for their skills, or CEO fuck-all who comes in via zoom once a quarter and couldn't open a pdf if they're life depended on it. Hmm, what a hard choice 🤔
So he wanted forced hysterectomies, ban women over 30 from getting married, and restrict women's access to education so they could focus on babies. I love that all of this pressure is on women like it's just them being stubborn and not a reaction to the society they're trying to survive in. It also alludes that men are otherwise thriving, with no other issues than women's lack of interest causing their disinterest. Men aren't looking to have kids either. And I don't think forcing them to limit their own dating pool and knowing that they'll have to fully support a pregnant, uneducated wife and possibly multiple children is going to make anyone rock hard. Japanese people are already worked to death, and everything is sp competitive. Maybe deal with that before wtf that plan was???
The final line of the snippet states: "Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, UN Women’s deputy executive director, said: “What the data is telling us is that it is the private and domestic sphere’s of women’s lives, where they should be safest, that so many of them are being exposed to deadly violence." It is not saying that, if women die, it's likely from DV, nor are they claiming to speak for homicide as a whole. They're saying that in cases of DV, women are more likely to be the victim. It's not spreading fear, it's just awareness. It sounds bad because it is bad. Sometimes that's just how it is.
The only way they could get this information is to compare it, that's why they're focusing on women, they happened to come out in top. If they said "smokers have an 80% higher chance of cancer", I'm taking it that they compared it to people who don't smoke, they don't need to tell me that because I can infer it. If I get a report that says "men are 50% more likely to die in combat" I wouldn't sit and go, "compared to what? Women? CHILDREN!? Why are they just focusing on men, like women don't die in combat! They're just showing scary numbers!" they're focusing on the group that came out in top and delving into that. I don't know how you would read the title of the article and be surprised that that is what they are focusing on.
“We know nothing about their history, their language, or what they look like, but we can assume this: they stand for everything that we don’t stand for. And also, they told me you guys look like dorks.”
Well, the way they initially presented has people coming in saying "Well, men get hurt too" like they're trying to say they don't. The way this first explained the numbers is saying, "Hey, they're 27% more likely to be harmed." All the person did was turn the data into a percentage.
How is it dishonest? It's looking at one specific kind of harm. It just happens men aren't the highest statistic for this kind of violence. That's literally all it's saying. "When it comes to relationship violence, women tend to be victims more often than men." If this was a report about suicide and they were ignoring men, I would get the issue.
It's like an article talking about smokers being more likely to get lung cancer. It's not the only way to get it, but they're focusing on smokers. We wouldn't go, "Well they're ignoring all the miners." They just happen to not be the focus of that study.
Go on a older person's phone. Whenever I have to do anything on my mom's phone, it gives me a headache. Everything is too bright and big and unorganized and has so man notifications! And her phone is much newer than mine and it's still hard for me.
This is specifically about intimate partner violence, not a study of every cause of death. They're focusing on women because the numbers are not higher for men. If they were the same, there would be little need to distinguish the two, but they noticed a tend. That's the whole point of this is to highlight that women face a higher risk of harm at home, at the hands of someone they know, than men. That's it. They're not saying men don't also get abused and murdered, nor is it saying the other ways men die aren't valid.
It's a shame that this data is being presented this poorly, because this is a really important issue that deserves attention. None of the figures presented in the linked article have the proper context to understand them. Even the UN report itself does not present their findings well.
So, for instance, 140 women per day is of course more than the ideal number of zero, but there are billions of people on this planet. To actually quantify the gender imbalance of this number, we need to compare it to the number of men who are victims in the same way. From the report:
Globally, approximately 51,100 women and girls were killed by their intimate partners or other family members [...out of...] 85,000 women and girls killed intentionally during the year [...] In other words, an average of 140 women and girls worldwide lost their lives every day at the hands of their partner or a close relative.
The report does not offer corresponding numbers for male (or non-binary) victims. It does, however, say that 11.8% of male victims and 60.2% of female victims are killed by partners or other family members. It also acknowledges that 80% of all homicide victims are men and 20% women, which is beside the point as this is about domestic violence, but it will allow us to do some math to arrive at numbers to compare against.
85,000 * 80/20 = 340,000 men killed total
340,000 * 11.8% = 40,120 men killed by partners or family
so we are comparing 40,120 men with 51,100 women
women are 27.4% more likely than men to be killed by partners or family.
...which should have been the headline. 27% more is massive! Domestic violence is a huge issue, and women are more likely to suffer from it!
There is no need to obfuscate the numbers to be less honest. The honest numbers themselves are shocking enough, and scientifically literate readers won't dismiss your credibility along with your cause. I look forward to future UN reports communicating these horrifying statistics a bit more clearly.
Edit: Wtf is wrong with ya'll? This article is only about one kind of violence that women are more suseptible too. That's it. No one is trying to say men aren't getting hurt, or even that women being harmed is the #1 cause of women's death. Someone has a post like, "Well, women are more likely to slip, so that's more dangerous, so there!" Like, okay??? Men are usually the victims of violent crimes and homicides, but when they looked at home based partner abuse, women come out on top. Like, damn.
Here's some articles on men since apparently we can't have an article talking about something specific. I guess I should leave a comment on all of these saying "What about the girls!" :
They're not even replacing anything, they're just adding to it. Why do ya'll even care. Life is already so fucking miserable, even worse when you feel like you're not even in the right body. Fucking help people. Why is it that seemingly every politician just hates people? Why go out of your wait to be a representative just to make people miserable.
Unfortunately, no. You can't even get rid of that debt with bankruptcy. I have the same government loans. You can apply for forbearance to at least protect your score a bit if you can't pay.
