With as much work as it would be to calculate those numbers and determine eligibility, it’s probably cheaper for the government to cancel current debt. Figuring out the index is fine, but then having everyone submit for their rebate would be an administrative nightmare. Banks only keep paid loan files for 7 years- I…

They should charge a flat yearly fee of like, $100 or 1% of the balance to administer the loan, then waive all the interest.

We thought MLB would be an alternative to getting cable with a sports package. We aren’t big sports people, but it was free, so we signed up, only to find it was worthless for following your local team.

But for unvaxxed kids? That's my big concern. And also, because this varies so much place to place, a one size fits all answer is hard too. Like, because so many people here are eating in restaurants, that affects my shopping risk assessment. 

I'm more worried about the ones we can't avoid, in a classroom. 

We did this last year, but it doesn’t let you watch local games, or away games with your local team. So if you’re physically in Texas, it won’t let you watch any Astros or Rangers games, no matter where they’re playing. We delved a bit more into the rules, and realized that this is only worth it if you follow a…

I have a lot of really specific questions, flying, in-person school for higher risk kids, restaurants, so many things. Mostly as they pertain to unvaccinated kids.

the author rarely writes their own headline. Editors write those. 

What about trans men?

No. It’s worse. The couple has saved $30,000 and is deciding if they should spend it on a wedding or use it as the down payment for the house. It’s not a prize, it’s their own money. I think the “prize” is a free wedding planner/realtor? I only watched one episode, but it seemed like the wedding planner and the…

Fun fact- a few weeks ago we hit the milestone of having vaccinated more people than had confirmed cases of covid! I know your point is that a lot of people probably had covid and weren’t diagnosed, but there are so many vaccinated people now.

Don’t paint the fireplace! Get veneer if the brick is ugly. Our fireplace was painted white brick and it was SO hideous. I got some beautiful stone veneer over it and it’s so nice now. More expensive than painting, but painted brick is tricky because you can’t undo it if it doesn’t look nice after.

But I think it would be a bad look for Biden to step in- can you imagine the outrage if POTUS starts telling state governors to resign? I’m not saying they shouldn’t care if he resigns, but Biden, at least, absolutely needs to not have an opinion and let the state government deal with it.

It’s a combination of the two- will they lose more money if they fire her or leave her on the air? 

In the OR, sure, on the internet, nope. So much of the problem people run into on social media is not knowing their audience, because it is often everyone.

Alight, but then I expect them to remove all Mickey Mouse storybooks too. In every one of the 5 minute bedtime Micky books, Daisy and/or Minnie are the ones in charge of food or decorating (If either of them are even IN the story). Do they REALLY want to go there with gender identity as a “sensitive” topic because we…

I do not understand this child tax credit thing. Can I opt for the lump sum? Is this INSTEAD of the usual child tax credit or in addition to? I always owed taxes before having a kid, so I’m mildly concerned I will owe taxes and then get my own money back slowly over the year- when I’d rather just get my whole credit…

I had one, and my first bite was all gross chicken fat. Gag. Also, it was not even crispy adjacent. The flavor in the breading was nice though. 

Yeah, once I complained about a book that had a similar message to my mother in law- literally, the book was like, “there’s a million dollar industry devoted to making sure you’re not ugly, so no excuses, ladies”. She made some comment about how men do need an attractive wife and I pointed out that if he was going to…

We still got a letter with trump’s signature reminding us that he gave us money.
