That is highly dependent on where you live though, which is one of the unavoidable issues with these types of programs. Anything federal like this will feel like too much in some places and not enough in others. Much of the bay area in California has a poverty line that’s pretty close to $125k/year or higher, so $90k…

Rather they forgive loans then throw money at the military industrial complex

Yes, all of that is true. Loan forgiveness is still a good use of public funds. 

One notable thing that doesn’t appear to be happening (or I haven’t seen anyone report on it): Reversing the law that exempted student loans from bankruptcy claims. Biden can’t reverse that himself, of course, but he was a big proponent of it so him publicly directing Dems to do so would be nice (as it can likely help …

Many insurance companies already don’t pay anything toward the cost of hearing aids. They don’t even offer supplemental (like vision or dental) packages. The audiologist visits and hearing tests are covered, but the aids themselves are not.

I didn’t think the OTC aids would be out until October?

Music teachers hate that Amazon does this. These instruments are so poorly made and often break. Spend the money to get a decent instrument or rent one from a local music store!

I wonder if the OTC hearing aids will also have bluetooth capability?

Yeah, that’s how we got Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, though.

Judges that get appointed can and do get appointed by politicians just as corrupt, if not more so. American or not, stop calling the ways of others stupid without thinking out the situation and considering the repercussions of your suggestions. 

The issue with Brock is that he never once even tried to apologize or admit he made a mistake.  He doesn’t think he did anything wrong.   So it makes sense to warn locals because right now the only lesson Brock seemed to learn from this is don’t get caught 

Rape apologist, eh? Cool....

Your notifications deserve to be set on fire for the idea that “Jordan Peterson can tell you how to be a good man.” He’s a bigoted, misogynistic hack. (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/07/how-dangerous-is-jordan-b-peterson-the-rightwing-professor-who-hit-a-hornets-nest).

Gives the GQP excuses to pass voter suppression laws.

“BM Sauce” is making me think of something much less appetizing... :(

Literally SECONDS of Googling tells you what the thing is and what it does:

Seems like there is a market for an Internet router that prevents, encrypts, or otherwise manages all outgoing traffic from your home network.

I've never heard of it, either, and I was in middle/high school in the early aughts.

Yeah, I don’t get this. I have zero interest in ESPN+, but the only way to get Disney and Hulu ad free is to get ESPN+.  Luckily my Amex gives me $7 cash back every month for the Disney bundle. I don’t know how that will be affected with these new ad free ones. I don’t want to lose my $7/month and have to watch ads.…

The owl’s gaze is bad juju.  Last season one of the kids freaked out that Uncle even kept that shit hanging up at his house.
