THRUST FAULT OROGENY

Pretty sure the only thing that is going to make some people happy is if they define a planet as the “things I was taught were planets when I was ten”. 

Would you like to take a survey?

Which is, in fact, according to my sources, a cause of climate change of its own. 

That’s a Venn diagram with a lot of overlap.

And if everything goes off without a hitch, the Webb Telescope will be one of the most impressive feats of astronomy ever undertaken.

I’m not assuming that at all. I’m merely saying that we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. In order to help the most people, there will be people who miss out because they’ve already paid off, or people who maybe don’t explicitly need loan forgiveness, who get it. So what? Is that a reason not to do…

Summary of all the comments in this article and every other article like this:

Honestly? I’d be happier if:

Several years ago I almost got into a shouting argument with a little old lady that lived near some relatives I was visiting who kept going on about how if you just worked hard you could pay for college blah blah blah, and who wouldn’t budge even with I explained the explicit math and numbers.

I’ll add that our culture pretends like it rewards people who make the “right” choices. Sure, you might be a bum who sits around and watches Joe Rogan but at least you aren’t a drug addict! Sure, no one likes you but you have no student debt! You’re better than someone, somewhere, out there and that’s what counts!

“I would accept measures that include things like canceling all interest retroactively so that once a sum equivalent the principal initially borrowed has been repaid, then the loan is clear.”

So what you're saying is that when a moderate adopts progressive policies during his campaign, we should just know he's lying and not expect anything beyond "not being Donald Trump"? Because I'm not sure that you've got a long term strategy there...

So because you don’t get help, nobody can get help?

How colleges and universities have avoided receiving the PRIMARY anger over student debt is beyond me. They gouge prices in plain sight, spend like drunken sailors in plain sight, beg and plead for even more money in plain sight.

I am not being snarky, I honestly thought Seinfeld spurred changed on the drug test tolerance after the poppyseed muffin episode.

Well, a lot of people didn’t think those three men would be convicted of killing Ahmaud Abery but they were found guilty by a mostly white jury so nothing’s impossible.

He’s gonna win, and life will be hell. I have almost no positive predictions for the Democrats next year. Warnock and Abrams will simply lose, and if they don’t it’ll be close enough for Georgia to throw out a few thousand “irregular” votes while the Dems just furrow their brows.

Charitably, maybe those who not only supported her but genuinely liked her and cared about her may find this inspiring or cathartic. It’s also for a Masterclass, where I guess you’d be taking it specifically because you really, really like her. I can also imagine that the idea of a first woman president was, and still…

To examine her discomfort, would mean having to rehash and relive her rape and the ordeal that followed.
