I get your point but I disagree. Plenty of us have no choice but to do soulless work in order to have food and shelter. It’s great that if a person without resources still makes the choice to leave and takes their chances on starting a Substack but not everyone is willing to take that risk. Frankly, only Ashley Reese…

Unfortunately, a lot of their articles have taken on a wishy-washy passiveness over the last few years but it’s become extremely noticeable this year. I don’t blame individual writers. It’s clear that corporate has dictated that they’re allowed five posts a day and only one may “have teeth.” This article didn’t make…

Correct! And if there’s anyone in her family that has a job it wouldn’t be unheard of that they get fired or if there’s a cousin with college prospects that they don’t get into university all of a sudden.

Peng Shuai is never going to be completely safe again. She’s going to live her life under surveillance. She’s going to live her life under threat of violence.

I know we’re taking the middle path here but it’s clear what happened: She accused someone very powerful of sexual assault and she has been detained until she retracted the accusation.

I’m personally in favor of forgiving “rich” people’s debt if it means everyone else gets their debt forgiven. Means testing almost always leaves people behind and the government putting dividing lines of a few thousand dollars in welfare programs is an issue.

Work an entry level job for 3-5 years at a stagnant salary ->Need a better paying job -> Need more schooling ->Need better paying job to afford schooling <- Start a new job and start all over again from the bottom

Yup. The idea that there are a swarm of philanthropists eager to usher a college student through their college years is laughable and has been for a long time. It’s nice that the Rotary Club wants to help and it’s cool that the Elks/Mooses want to give one of their member’s grandkids a cool one hundred bucks but it’s…

I think the interest is ridiculous but I’m mostly blind to that, given my own situation. If we could have any sort of relief and it’s the elimination/reduction of interest, fine, so be it! They just need to do anything at all.

Among the many ways this is such a cruel, unforced error, is that they aren’t even trying to negotiate the debt cancellation. It seems, from a read through Twitter, that plenty of people would find it acceptable if they eliminated the interest/lowered the interest on the loans.

Adults with children really need a fresh slap in the face about sharing videos/photos of their kids on public social media accounts

It’s been clear that the owners of this website have deliberately been trying to drive Jezebel into the ground and kill politics articles all together over the last year but here we are at last.

With all due respect, you listed this woman’s pedigree as evidence that she’s of sound mind...isn’t that a bit like comparing her to an animal/dog/robot? As if she could be pre-programmed to be smart and independent just by virtue of the people that came before her. People from good families can still fall for cults…

Oh, that wasn’t the gist of the post? Could have fooled me.

From an InTouch article about The Duggars:

The whole problem is that I was in gifted programs so I know plenty about Pete’s type. The smarmy, but quietly seething little turd who demands to have all of their worst takes taken seriously. Easily half of the boys in my class thought they were intellectual giants who were owed the world. If I’m bitter about…

Yep.
