I don’t know why you’re even questioning the answer to this (or if you’re doing a hypothetical)? If people have extra money, they aren’t corporations. They aren’t going to sit on it. Extra money will go toward necessities like food and rent. Extra money will go into discretionary spending, like eating out at

The question, it seems to me, is whether the good that would come from forgiving student loans is sufficiently positive as to make it worth doing relative to the cost. 

I don’t think the Biden Administration should cancel student loan debt until the student loan system can be overhauled.

I wish more folks thought that way rather than seeing bicyclists as some sort of clear and present danger to their machismo.”

Fascinating story. Thank you for this.

“Just please be mindful of those around you, especially those on two wheels.”

“The dirtiest these get is the fuel you feed yourself with.”

“Do we really want all these electric car mines?”

“And Halo 2 on Xbox live predates them all.”

Interesting. Thank you.

“We feign outrage over the gender disparity in who remains out of work and yet fail to include those millions of unemployed women in our unemployment numbers, as though their return to unpaid care work inside the home was in fact what was always expected of them.”

Energy demand per home has risen as homes get larger. Square footage difference is the #1 reason why homes in America are so much less efficient than dwellings in Europe. Our houses are much bigger.

Apparently it ignores INI files if they are not part of a .PAK file. That’s what I’ve read. Don’t know how true it is, but that would explain why nobody has published a straightforward guide to un-gimping FFVIIR yet. 

I’m not angry at GRRM. It is fair to say I rarely think of him when unprompted to do so. And the man has the right to write or not-write anything he wants.

CPS might have asked for — “asked for” — permission to conduct a search.

It’s pretty easy to beat the Suicide Mission without any kind of help, provided you understand Bioware RPG mechanics or RPGs in general, namely: Side quests and loyalty missions are not optional for best outcomes and all upgrades must be performed.

“time to get rid of both parties I think.”

This would require a stem-to-stern overhaul of vote allocation in the United States. Votes for third parties are effectively wasted as anything but protest votes. I’m not going to say they have no meaning to people who cast them, but they don’t change the status quo very much.

“and Superman’s origins in war-time propaganda,”

Superman’s origins (pre-1940) have him being attacked by the National Guard while he does things like raze slums, forcing the government to build better housing for poor people.

They don’t overlook it. They don’t care.

#4 is the reason why some of the people involved believe he should be punished. There is a difference between saying “Punish this person,” and “Throw this person in jail for life.”

The median time served in state prison for murder and non-negligent manslaughter was 15 years according to the DOJ:
