  • He's in the part of the plan where he delays.

    Next up: legal challenges to Harris being on the ballot. However silly or spurious or quickly they're tossed out, it'll be the next excuse for not debating.

    By then, well, it's too close to the election, some early voting has started, and it wouldn't be fair to debate now, see...

  • I'd like to know.

    I want to go out on my own terms. If that means I don't have to save so much for retirement... Great, I can go on expensive vacations now instead of later.

    And then I can do what needs to be done without regrets.

  • My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

    I was like, "Probably. But it's like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building.. doable, but a bad plan all around."

  • You got it.

    It's a sweet deal for the servicers.. the loans are basically zero risk and the servicer gets to keep a lion's share of the interest while only paying for the costs associated with servicing (customer service, mailing statements, pausing repayment for various reasons, etc.)

    That said, those loans shouldn't be confused with private student loans, in which the government is. It involved (mostly).

  • Indeed. Everyone tries to blame Democrats for, when they have the slimmest of majorities, for not doing everything, when there are literally 49 Republican senators out there who are the ones who are truly blocking progress.

  • Right.

    Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

    I say "two" to handle the very common case of children putting their parents' homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don't do it early enough.

  • I don't think anyone seriously is claiming Biden is without issue. Only that now is too late to call for replacing him.

    They are basically the "blue no matter who" people. I'll probably be one this election too, considering the alternative.

  • The Internet says that the total cost for a degree from Johns Hopkins medical student per year is $64,665. In addition, various indirect costs like books, housing, healthcare, various fees, living expenses, and so on, bring that same estimate up to around $105,000 annually.

    $1,000,000,000 invested in a stupid boring index fund at an estimated 4% return yields $40,000,000 in interest alone, or, using the above numbers, enough for 380(.95) students each year.

    Based on this quick page from their own website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/education-programs/md-program/our-students/class-statistics

    Wherein they accept just 266 students, it could last for a very long time.
