@heybgoodyall@LucasSa56947288 Don’t be foolish. There’s no way DOGE can save the $$ it says it will save without cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
1. Make massive staffing cuts
2. Programs perform poorly due to staffing cuts
3. Programs are privatized
@McFaul Thanks for your story! I was the manager of MN state financial aid programs for 33 years. I saw countless students improve their lives by receiving financial aid to attend college, including myself!
@MargaretAtwood As long as there are book questions, Is it Oryx and Crake or Year of the Flood that had some type of animal/hybrid that hovered and hummed as a group above someone in pain? It’s such a comforting thought for those who are grieving.
@Ilhan I would rather spend the funds on addressing climate change. The average student loan debt is around $30k with a monthly $300 payment under standard repayment plan (similar to car payment). There are income-based repayment plans that can be used to lower student loan payments.
I got some gas on the inside of my driver’s side door at the pump. Googled a solution, which was vinegar, baking soda and water. Worked!! Made me think just how useful vinegar is for different purposes. @pera_you should do an episode called The Wonderful World of Vinegar. 🤣
@RBReich Have you come across or written any pieces on whether the economy can withstand multiple shutdowns in the future, given there may be second waves of COVID-19 or new viruses?
