But it's not adding new debt, the federal government already holds that debt. I'm not clear if you understand that.
I don't understand your statement, the student debt is already there held by the government and theoretically they plan their future revenue for the budget with payments from student loan borrowers included. So forgiving student loan debt would just be a decrease in revenue while they continue to have the same amount of debt.
You can't really just nationalize things, and there are alternatives to starlink.
Plain Buddhism was kind of a downer so they made stuff like pure land buddhism that is more of a fun afterlife version instead of hardcore OG Buddha which is like kill yourself and stop existing forever because the world is just an eternal cycle of pain and reincarnation into more pain forever.
The hungry tiger jataka is my favorite
"One day, the Bodhisattva and one of his disciples decided to take a stroll in the forest nearby. This had become a regular practice. They often went for strolls.
While they were walking, the Bodhisattva notices something extremely terrifying. He saw a tigress, which looked weak and hungry. The tigress was about to devour her own cubs. Now, that moved the Bodhisattva’s heart. He did not want the poor animal to suffer the guilt of eating her own cubs. So, he came up with an idea.
He sent his disciple back to do something. The Bodhisattva had decided that he would offer himself as food to the starving tigress. He simply could not let her eat her cubs. And he knew if his disciple had seen this, he would definitely stop the Bodhisattva from offering himself. You may also like to read, The Tiger And The Golden Bangle.
After the disciple is gone, the Bodhisattva approached the tigress. With the utmost compassion in his heart and no malice, he let the tigress devour him. The tigress ate him and fed the cubs as well. After a while, the disciple returned. When he saw the Bodhisattva’s blood stained clothes, he realized what had happened.
He knew the Bodhisattva well. So, he knew the hermit had offered himself to save the tigress. He went back and told his fellow disciples of the Bodhisattva’s sacrifice out of love and compassion. "
It's often their role to sort of placate those in charge and just ride it out.
Yeah, if the president hits Bush numbers like 19% in 2008 or lower then you get a much higher chance of being ousted. If you lose enough popularity within the Republican party then the Senate can impeach him and remove him from office.
It's closer to what Obama was at mid career. If you want bad you gotta hit W numbers, he was at a low of 19% approval in 2008.
No. The article doesn't talk about preorders at all, and they are completely meaningless and obviously a "preorder" for a car with just a 100$ deposit doesn't mean anything. That's basically just signing up for a mailing list. The cyber truck as announced was ugly but with really good specs for only 40k$. It was shit and the price was minimum 70k so it didn't sell well.
Preorders aren't a legally defined or protected term or anything, who wants to regulate that? It's basically just a list of emails signups so it doesn't mean anything at all.
It does have Bluetooth on and you can't turn it off . But the wifi setting can be turned off
We've already had reports of him propositioning employees for sex for money. You don't think he considers everyone on Twitter his property?
Google is giving anyone with an edu email a full year of Gemini plus free just cause they're desperate to get people to use it.
People are migrating there, but if there's not a lot of content then the few people that really push out a lot of content because they make money will be very prominent.
No they didn't. This is in reference to the announced exceptions for electronics like phones, which is a pretty big category. That's effectively dropping tariffs on a big chunk. That announcement was then unannounced by trump but who knows. The general perception is that trump wants tariffs but will fold when the economy catches fire and wants China to make a big deal with him so he can claim victory.
Their wages are going up and young workers aren't as interested in living the slave labor experience living in foxconn dorms working 100% of their time. It's not a union but the overall effects are that policies are being forced to be more pro worker/ better salary and conditions just to meet staffing levels.
