    And rolling blackouts now in Texas. Amazing what shutting down coal-fired plants and replacing them with wind turbines that freeze up and quit working in cold weather do to a grid...

    but why did my power bill quadruple?

    The blocking of internet access and communications will be special.

    That warrants five years in prison IMO
    I really don't want to throw them in jail. I just wish there was a way for these jokers to have some other shit in their life that is productive.

    I don't like the prison system at all
    So if someone was breaking into your home and you called the police and they never showed up, and later you found out it was because Antifa/BLM had piled snow in front of their precinct, you absolutely would want those fuckers in prison.
    I think you're overstating it. I think they are the absolute dregs of society just trying to cause trouble.

    In fact I'd argue that I'm becoming authoritarian. You suck in high school and are on track to be a piece of shit drain? Military school asap.

    That would solve most of our shit.

    Discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Boom. No more gender studies.

    Divorce healthcare from employment? No more legions of hr shitheads.

    Man this hr meeting this past week pissed me off so now I'm venting haha

    Shit was an hour long for the whole company going on and on about the handbook.

    Bitch I break all those rules weekly.
    We already have enough no other option losers going to our military. It fixes some of them but not all. Just as the world needs ditch diggers, it needs prisons as well.

    And FO with your FS student loan forgiveness.

    Just turn on the panel heaters. They're coal powered.

    It's not loan forgiveness, its bankruptcy. Just like every other debt. What has happened is that the loans are federally guaranteed and provide the lifeblood to programs like ethnic studies which provide their "graduates" no path for financial solvency. Make the loans subject to bankruptcy. There is a financial penalty for filing for bankruptcy. End the federal guarantee and put a massive amount of financial pressure on the colleges which will have to get rid of thousands of diversity hires and dozens of failing programs.

    So are you saying that Bankruptcy should also wipe out student loan debt?

    I disagree if so.

    The answer to school reform is no loans for those going to a 4 year school to “enjoy the full college experiences” out of high school. Only earned schollies, grants or daddies money.

    For state schools. Give reduced to free tuition to any HS student with a 3.5 or above to go to CC. And then if they do well, say like a 3.5 or better then they would be able to move on to the 4 year with either loans, grants and schollies.

    This weeds out HS grads looking to avoid adulthood further and party on the Gubment dime. And the rest can go to CTE, Military or flip burgers.

    And the reality is that Bankruptcy doesn’t hurt people much at all. They can still get a loan on pretty much anything they need anyway.

    Yes, bk should wipe out student debt as it does all debt assuming the schools themselves share in the losses.

    "And the reality is that Bankruptcy doesn’t hurt people much at all. They can still get a loan on pretty much anything they need anyway." Unfortunately, that isn't the reality. It's a little know fact that if you have a sh*tty credit rating with a BK on your report, any loan you get will be with a very high down payment with a horrific interest rate.

    If you pay 50k for a sociology degree, you deserve to be in debt.

    Agreed, and it shouldn't be guaranteed by the US taxpayer. Let the bank that was stupid enough to make that loan take it in the shorts and their shareholders.

    If you are to the point where you are close to bankruptcy, you shouldn’t or couldn’t be able to take loans on new cars or boats anyway.

    If schools believe in their programs so much the schools should back the loans

    No one is making the banks or other lenders make the loan. I just don't want the government to be part of the transaction like they are with student loans. Or Fannie Mae.
