Say what you want about her but she certainly puts her money where her mouth is

There you go biting the hand that feeds you again

I've also heard this used as a pejorative but I really like the term, "alphabet mafia"

It's the other half of the saying that they like to conveniently forget, one bad apple spoils the bunch. Sure there might be cops that generally show up do their job and go home without literally torturing people to death but if the first cop doesn't do anything about it then they start to look just as bad

Doesn't she kinda look like one of the disguises Robin Williams took in Mrs Doubtfire?

Completely nonsensical and screws everyone involved.

Student loans are supposed to be an investment the government takes in its population. If it works properly then the money that the government spent on the students tuition is both paid back monetarily by the student as well as societally because now you have an educated citizen providing ever increasing tax revenue. If you make student loans illegal you not only make it impossible for students to educate themselves beyond public school you destroy the entire post secondary school industry now that so few can afford to educate themselves.

What needs to happen is cutting out all the middleman bullshit and just making post secondary education free with your taxes, at least a couple years worth. If someone wants to be a doctor or a lawyer or someone who needs to have more than a couple years worth then sure that can be on their dime. Otherwise those first 4 years are just unnecessarily saddling people with mountains of debt that there is no guarantee they can pay back after they are done

That was the deal with McCarthy, not clear if that's the deal that anyone else will have

Ever drank bailey's out of a shoe?

Diablo 3 caught my attention again recently with the new and probably last season. Pretty mindless most of the time but it's therapeutic in a way

Also is addictive in the way it causes rebound congestion if you stop using it. That's part of why they tell you to not use it for more than a few days in a row

It's not so simple I think. Anti-intellectualism is a symptom of the greater human condition. Part of it is the scapegoat aspect. If something has a name then it's easy to point a finger at it, easy to blame the person who named it. Part of it is envy, people trying to tear down those who they feel are superior to them. Part of it is propaganda, if not caused by certainly exacerbated by.

Like many things in life it's complicated.

Or possibly/hopefully with the fraud case he just lost he remembered he doesn't have any money

For Obi-Wan it's stated in a few places that Tatooine aged beings prematurely (headcannon being because it has two suns) so he makes sense. As for Yoda perhaps it was partially intentional to disguise himself and partially because of the dark side force nexus that he lived beside was a trial to fight and it aged him

Capitalize the profits and socialize the losses

Did you bring it to me or otherwise preform extra effort for me ik the ordering process? No? Then fuck off you've already earned your pay

Slash have his cult threaten their lives. He's already gotten away with it a couple times without anything happening so why not again?

Garnish wages, keep your tax return, take social security benefits and destroy your credit rating. They pardon the super rich for basically stealing our tax dollars and yet they will also destroy the financial lives of their citizens who have to make the decision of having the gas to get to work the next morning or having more than sleep for dinner. I'm of half a mind that if they are going to steal my money then they will have to pay to take more of it

And were supposed to feel bad for her now? Fuck that

Next up water is wet! It's Fox "news" of course it's bullshit, that isn't news

Nope, you done did shit the bed already you can't charge admission to the toilet bed now
