Federal appeals court blocks remainder of Biden's student debt relief plan
  • You got it.

    It's a sweet deal for the servicers.. the loans are basically zero risk and the servicer gets to keep a lion's share of the interest while only paying for the costs associated with servicing (customer service, mailing statements, pausing repayment for various reasons, etc.)

    That said, those loans shouldn't be confused with private student loans, in which the government is. It involved (mostly).

  • Warren: Democrats ‘will suspend the filibuster’ to codify Roe v. Wade
  • Indeed. Everyone tries to blame Democrats for, when they have the slimmest of majorities, for not doing everything, when there are literally 49 Republican senators out there who are the ones who are truly blocking progress.

  • Biden to call for 5% cap on annual rent increases, as he tries to show plans to tame inflation
  • Right.

    Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

    I say "two" to handle the very common case of children putting their parents' homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don't do it early enough.

  • Jon Stewart: Excuses for Biden’s ‘shocking display of cognitive difficulty’ are ‘bulls‑‑‑’
  • I don't think anyone seriously is claiming Biden is without issue. Only that now is too late to call for replacing him.

    They are basically the "blue no matter who" people. I'll probably be one this election too, considering the alternative.

  • Thanks to a $1 billion gift, most Johns Hopkins medical students will no longer pay tuition
  • The Internet says that the total cost for a degree from Johns Hopkins medical student per year is $64,665. In addition, various indirect costs like books, housing, healthcare, various fees, living expenses, and so on, bring that same estimate up to around $105,000 annually.

    $1,000,000,000 invested in a stupid boring index fund at an estimated 4% return yields $40,000,000 in interest alone, or, using the above numbers, enough for 380(.95) students each year.

    Based on this quick page from their own website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/education-programs/md-program/our-students/class-statistics

    Wherein they accept just 266 students, it could last for a very long time.

  • ‘As Long As I Gave It My All’...
  • You think people got mad when Hillary Clinton was "selected" at the Democratic Convention after a nationwide series of primary elections and delegates all voted with her as the winner, can you imagine the shitstorm unilaterally picking some other candidate to replace Joe Biden without even the pretense of a primary process?

  • Joe Biden To Sit Down With ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos For First Post-Debate TV Interview
  • Trump can't stay out of the spotlight long. He's wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

    In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there's something fun for Republicans to condone ignore.
