You can’t get a $1 million mortgage if you make $100K/year.
You can’t get a $75K car loan if you make $35K/year.
The fact that you can get $250K in student loans for a college degree where you’re expected to earn $40K/year is unacceptable and a complete failure of US society.
We have 18 year old kids making financial decisions that all but guarantee a lifetime of economic insecurity.
These kids do not have the capacity to understand the implications of the debt they are taking on.
The corrupt university system has successfully convinced them going to college is the “smart thing to do” and that it will all work out.
These colleges should have to take the financial hit when they load up 18 years olds with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that basic math would tell you will never be repaid.
The federal government backstopping all these student loans does nothing but enable colleges to jack up their prices every year with zero accountability.
Shameful.

Interesting #pharmacogenomics study...no individual variants significantly predicted statin reduction of MI in GWAS. I wonder if a #polygenicriskscore would work?! @pgrnhub

Matthew Stafford played his entire career for the Lions and didn’t win a single playoff game. Leaves Detroit, immediately wins three playoff games and is going to the Super Bowl.
I think the problem fundamentally is that most private hospitals' operating budgets are essentially floated on surgical care. ID is a loss leader. The amount of money saved on stewardship is small in the grand scheme of a hospital's budget. But, that can be rectified. 1/4
