Why go to space? Why go to the moon and then to mars?
“Because it’s next. Because we came out of the cave, and we looked over the hill and we saw fire; and we crossed the ocean and we pioneered the west, and we took to the sky. The history of man is hung on a timeline of exploration and this is what’s next.”
Should I name those who have never left the cave, those who react on emotion, who don’t use logic or rationality, and for whom common sense does not exist, who shout slogans but are unable to articulate facts? Those who have benefited from the thought and industry of those who have left the cave?
We all know he’s going to replace an objectively corrupt and compromised person with an even more corrupt and compromised person, but this time it’ll be someone who’s even less competent. Any qualified, ethical attorney wouldn’t work for this administration as the AG. Why intentionally torpedo your career and reputation?
Why? Because you have basically carte blanche and federal immunity in everything you will do. Morally bankrupt? Sure. But you will be set for the rest of your life as you will be a hero to the 30% or so that will never believe anything to the contrary of their worldview. Many of us are already detested by the world.
Let’s not forget that Bondi was the one who gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal, then lied under oath about him to cover up for Trump. Now the likely replacement for Bondi is Todd Blanche, who recently gave Ghislane Maxwell her own little sweetheart deal. Next, Blanche will lie under oath to cover up for Trump. After Blanche gets fired, my guess is that he’s going to be replaced by the corrections officer who strangled Epstein in his jail cell. That or Clarence Thomas, who will step down from the Supreme Court in exchange for a new Prevost Motorcoach, which will then allow Trump to appoint a 25-year-old recent Thomas Cooley grad and frequent Turning Point podcast contributor to Thomas’s seat. God I hate this timeline.
I was, but then I was transferred to the SPEND plan. Sure my monthly payments went up over 300% but at least it’s still not paying down any of my principal.
Why is it okay someone can declare bankruptcy and wipe away debt for spending carelessly buying boats, cars, dinners, clothes, toys, etc. but when someone borrows money for education to improve their life and it doesn’t work out we don’t give them the same option??
This is a silly argument. When you borrow money for a student loan, you know at the time you borrow it that it isn’t bankruptable. They don’t keep that a secret. So if you’re bitching afterward, your bitching rings hollow. You knew the rules going in. Or at least you should have. If you didn’t like the terms, don’t take the money. Figure out some other way to pay for your education. Or just go get a job. But don’t try to change the rules after you’ve started the game.
I agree, if millions of 18 year-olds can’t understand the complex terms of a massive loan days after they become adults then it is their problem. Sorry about the back-breaking debt the rest of your life! Should been born to rich parents!!!
Alternatively, if “millions of 18 (more like 18-24 year olds) can’t understand complex terms…” I agree if they cannot understand consequences of actions those same people should not be allowed to vote either.
This type of thinking is what creates losers and people with a victim complex. It’s a horrible way to live your life. If every problem you have is someone else’s fault, you’ll never make any progress. This is the stuff of alcoholism and depression. It stems from an inability to be honest with one’s self.
Calling someone a boomer/Gen Xer isn’t the burn you apparently think it is. Bu okay, you want to know how I did it? Here:
I saved ~$30k prior to law school and graduated with $71k in debt. I worked at a paying job my 3rd year.
I’ve never leased or financed a car, drove a beater during my first 5 years of practice.
I lived in a rental for my first 5 years of practice.
I took reasonable vacations during my first five years of practice.
I used my bonuses to pay down big chunks of my loan balance and had the whole balance paid off 5 years after graduation.
In years 6, I was 32 years old, paid cash for a nice car, then put 20% down on a nice house.
Lawyers make good money, I know I have. But the money goes a lot further without a $1100/mo student loan payment. Without that payment, I’ve been able to max out my retirement, drive nice cars, experience fantastic travel, and live in a good home in a great neighborhood. Im 53 now and should be done in about 2 years. My kids didn’t have to take student loans, which I consider a huge gift to them.

*some* of us left the cave.

I always love a West Wing quote.
Bondi is out. Rejoice!

Someone else will soon debase themselves by taking the job.
You presumptively do not care for her, so it is cute that you think he will replace her with someone more pleasing to you
But “the Dow is over 50,000”, right?
Not any more.
Yes!

Cry harder sis.
Anyone on the SAVE Plan regarding their student loans?
I was, but then I was transferred to the SPEND plan. Sure my monthly payments went up over 300% but at least it’s still not paying down any of my principal.
Hah.
Quit whining. You borrowed the money. Pay it back. Have some integrity. You’ll feel great.
Why is it okay someone can declare bankruptcy and wipe away debt for spending carelessly buying boats, cars, dinners, clothes, toys, etc. but when someone borrows money for education to improve their life and it doesn’t work out we don’t give them the same option??
Because Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton passed laws making it virtually impossible to discharge Federal student loan debt.

I’m curious, how much was your tuition, boomer/Gen Xer? Your gesturing probably rings hollow once we have that answer.
