I feel like you just sidestepped and important point the OP made about how evangelicals sell their faith to desperate people as a cure-all, and when they latch on for those reasons they 1) become temporarily extremely devoted and useful for the optics of the institution but 2) they eventually crash because they aren’t…

Also literally everybody I knew in college “scrimped and saved” though we didn’t call it that. We were all broke af.

I don't believe you did this without help.

Good, they should be angry and they should have been for a long time. Debt forgiveness and free college is going to make it much harder for the military to coax in there next set of cannon fodder.

Also corrupt af administration. Take a look at the private boards that the University of California regents sit on: text book companies, bank of America (one of the largest private student loan providers), etc.

No. It became majority opinion after the impeachment inquiry was opened, as many predicted. She was wrong.

You’re right, 100%

These rich people are getting so dumb. When you're wealthy you're not supposed to be egging on a violent class struggle! Do you WANT the guillotine?

Yes as a lady physicist that show grates on me. I watched the pilot in college and at that point the joke was “dumb blonde interacts with nerdy scientists omg lol.” It def has a fandom among male physicists so 🤷‍♀️

Yea this shit pisses me off bc there are genius women out there with extremely logical brains who don’t do this. In fact, I would argue that logic means you AGREE with consent and bodily autonomy (assigning charge and power over a body to the person living in it makes the most sense). This is pure privilege talking.

Im not sure they can coexist in the us. In European countries the public provider has by far the strongest negotiating power and can thus keep prices down. In the US a public option coexisting with very powerful private companies might be 100s of times the cost per person, since private companies drive up prices.…

... But the most recent vote put Johnson in power so....

The retarded potentials in relativistic E&M always gave me pause too...

Sanders is right though... Giving women access to reproductive rights (not just abortion, birth control of any kind) solves overpopulation. Also economic forces have a huge effect, though those are difficult to effectively directly influence.

Me too, but as far as I can tell it’s the only right thing to do that in the long run won’t turn us into a fascist state. But maybe there’s no avoiding it...

Poor white people have always put a monetary value on racism. They are willing to leave money on the table (leftist policies) in favor of securing their place of superiority over other races.

I wish we could talk about how shitty this is for some neuro atypical people. Someone who has a learning disability not severe enough for benefits but who has trouble understanding the implications of lending and calculating interest in their head now has access to an app with instant money...

And it’s intentional. It’s super sneaky because they managed to implement a policy that hurts workers more but in the short term keeps them happy.

The thing is that they are only offering this “benefit” because it’s the bare minimum to keep workers on the floor. It’s long term horrible for the employees, but short term they can sustain life enough to show up for work. If they resorted to payday lenders or government help, it would be harder on Walmart, and that's…

Wow this article is bringing out some really ugly comments I don't normally see on Jez...
