  • You must not have read what's actually in the plan they put through. It also includes dramatically lowered payments for low income earners, eliminated interest if you make your payments, broadens forgiveness rules etc. etc.

    It's mine boggling to me that Biden didn't get more credit for this plan. One time paying off of loans is a dumb short term solution. Actually changing the rules to help current and future borrowers is so much more important. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/08/22/fact-sheet-the-biden-harris-administration-launches-the-save-plan-the-most-affordable-student-loan-repayment-plan-ever-to-lower-monthly-payments-for-millions-of-borrowers/

  • Yeah, I call it the gun show loophole because that's the common phrasing, but I see your issue with the phrase. Do you have a preferred name for it?

    I personally still think any gun sale should be facilitated through an FFL whether directly or as a third party for the purpose of background checks being done.

  • This opinion makes no sense to me. The US Army was also formed during a terrorist action, so was the Russian red army. We wouldn't have called the Russian red army in WW2 a terrorist organization, and we certainly wouldn't call the US military a terrorist organization. We could call them cruel or bad or whatever based on personal opinions, but we wouldn't call them terrorist organizations.

    For a more extreme example, the Nazi military was far far worse than Hamas or the IDF and I still would call them a professional military. They were still state sanctioned, trained to a specific common standard, paid a wage, internationally recognized as a military force, etc. etc.
