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

No one would turn away free money. That’s why you don’t give it out

I mean I would. But I grew up when the word man meant something entirely different than it does now. I’ll be holding off 1000 chinamen in the Aleutians while you guys figure out how to stop holding each others dick’s and grow a pair

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

To this I say “kinda”. I was an engineer at Command Fleet Activities Yokosuka base for 6 years.

It’s more like the US exploits Japan allowing us to have multiple military bases on their land to keep pressure on China. We don’t give two shits about protecting them. Tip of the spear, not tip of the shield. And what we’ve done to Okinawa is fucking tragic. One of the nicest places and people on earth, and we’ve essentially turned their whole main island into a giant military base. The locals try to push back, but always fail.

And we get to use their government subsidized labor for a large portion of the maintenance we do. If it’s not nuclear or any other sensitive system, chances are it’s a Japanese guy turning the wrench.

The Japanese nationalist government would love nothing more than to kick us out and rebuild their military. But China also hates the fuck out of Japan for the vast number of atrocities they committed in WWII, so if the US left I wouldn’t be surprised if China came in for revenge.

So yeah, protection is a side affect of our main reason being there. It’s not some noble cause.

All these right wingers super mad that working class families are getting bailed out while not caring about bailouts for the ultra-rich and big business.

Personally, I have 60k in college debt, which I have completely ignored. Debt collectors have no power to collect when someone is living abroad and working for a foreign company. I have no plans to ever live in the states again, so I was just going to ignore this debt forgiveness.

However, after seeing all the salty cunts coming out of the woodwork, I'm seriously considering applying for the 20k pell grant forgiveness just for the hell of it, even though I never plan to pay the rest back regardless.

Not that I am a fan of bailouts for the rich and big businesses, but just curious…how many members of families do big businesses provide jobs to? What kind of innovation do they create?

Don’t forget: if they have a lot of money they must have cheated somehow and/or stolen it from the poor

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.
