Came here for the politics, stayed for the Dead Milkmen.

I’ve worked for the past 10 years in Non-profit organizations only to be told that I don’t have the right kind of loans. They’ve reimbursed something like 0.3% of the applicants to the PSLF. Functionally it may as well not even exist.

From the follow up question it sounds like he wants PSLF to forgive eligible loans…

No, I think it’d be that thing where two waves collide. It would just amplify everything. Wall street would trade coke for meth and bath salts, civil asset forfeiture would mean the cops would stop and frisk and then pocket what you had on you. The ACE lines would constantly be delayed due to alligators on the…

The tariffs and trade war with our largest trading partners is going to suck, severely,…

I think we can just chalk this up to “asshole tax” for replacing cashiers with robots. They no longer have to pay someone $8/hr, so we no longer have to pay high prices for organic vegetables.

HD & Lowes seem about the same when it comes to the working conditions. I worked at a Lowes a few years back and from my experience; They hire only part time to make benefits non-existent, everyone is locked in the store at night and suspected/accused of theft on a daily basis, the anti-union propaganda is nailed to…

“I’m made of felt. And my nose comes off.”

She turned an Earth Wind and Fire song into pop-country.

MJ & that Neutral Milk Hotel set is hard to beat but these stand out.

...just as the founding fathers intended.
