I have no problem with jokes against white people or any race, just try to make them actually funny

Or is that even still allowed? Are comedians allowed to make fun of particular races without getting Will Smith slapped?

I know words are violence now

Funny bit on white people

Botten tuition prices are going up and education quality is going down. The government is subsidizing this and has been for a while
There are bad stories and some good ones like this one:

Pledge to Advance Connecticut (PACT) was established by the legislature in 2019 to provide free tuition for students attending all twelve community colleges.

Seriously tethler that’s shitty of you man. Shame on you bud
Please think of me as you pay a fraction of a cent toward my college education.



Sarcasm/jokes aside, I feel 0 guilt for abusing a system built around private business that has exploded from gouging young people trying to get an education.

Either the government shouldn't be involved at all, or if they want to be involved with the loan process, there should be price controls in place to prevent the kind of gouging we've had the last few decades. The one foot in, one foot out approach is the problem. For-profit schools extracting govt money just fuels the inflation of tuition.

If they want to build a whole system around exploiting people, then it should be expected that people will exploit the system for their own benefit as well.

While Reiwa has merit in his debate... you Elizondo have none.

Fascism is reserved for Trump and DeSantis. DeSantis would get his own personal militia in a heart beat expressed during his FL rein.
The FL state guard thing is baloney; NY and Cali and a bunch of other states had it before he said shit about it.

Can't find the pic.

Great stuff you definitely deserve to be included.
I mean, for reasons stated previously, it really doesn't impact me at all if I'm included or not.

Heck yea, not going to turn away free money thanks to gov’t that I don’t need

I still accepted my free $4k-ish gov’t checks despite the fact that I was working in healthcare straight through the pandemic. What am I gonna do, mail them back and say “no thanks I don’t need this”?

But I do think the crazy 40%-ish of PPP money going to scams/fraud is pretty fucked up

You realize the US defends Japan, right? It does matter

Student debt relief is the government actively picking winners and losers. This is a politically divisive policy and that was obvious. It’s also obvious that tuition has been going up and they’re spending the money on Rec centers and student life, not professors and research

Would’ve been better to bring back the child tax credit, which I also oppose btw on the grounds that we’re bankrupt and inflation is 10%, but that would’ve at least made sense and helped far more

This was a dumb policy. And I reiterate I voted for Biden and think trump was a dumb ass. I am not a “right wing cis white male cracker ass peckerwood,” I’m just a person who understands if you run in the red long enough you’re fucked. It’s time for surpluses
