Just a GenX libertarian trying to laugh, and hold onto common sense while the world insists on losing its mind. Casual gaming and nostalgia keeps me sane-ish.

You mean forgive the debt of college students, a group that should really be smart enough to understand how a loan works?

I never made it to college, but I was smart enough to understand the wherefored and whys, when I was getting foreclosed on a decade ago...

Allow me to state the obvious: having 46 million people drowning in $1.8 trillion of student debt is not sustainable for working families, or for our country.

Labour councillor Ricky Jones literally called for his right-wing opponents to have their throats slit ON CAMERA.
"We need to cut all their throats & get rid of them all."
He's just been found NOT GUILTY.

I would like to offer my own story to counter hers. I survived Mao's Cultural Revolution as a poor child. She might not be well educated about the true color of CCP. She represents the privileged elite, not ordinary Chinese. Most CCP elite children study, work, and live abroad. @lexfridman

Happy 76th birthday to legendary Dire Straits vocalist and guitarist Mark Knopfler!

Here are some of his most legendary performances with Dire Straits.

Ma’am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.

On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, “running it up the chain” for your approval.

When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.

The single most radicalizing moment of my life happened when I was 21. I was living paycheck to paycheck at the time and BARELY scraping by. It was payday, and I went to use my debt card to buy groceries, and it was rejected. I knew the direct deposit was in and I was confused. My account was almost empty. I went to the bank to figure out what happened and nearly lost my mind. I was hit with dozens of 30 dollar overdraft fees. The bank intentionally put through large charges FIRST despite the large charges being charged after. They held back the lower micro purchase charges, and then once my account was zeroed out, they put through a string of small charges, charging me 30 dollars for each one. I paid over 30 dollars for a tin of altoids, I paid 35 dollars for five dollars in gas. Had they posted the charges correctly, I would have just been rejected. I was young and dumb and barely scraping by, but my balance at the ATM kept saying there were funds available. They hit me with so many overdraft fees that it took me months to get back on even footing.

I still think about it today, and I'm filled with rage. They still pull this nonsense today on the young and poor. So yes, I'm harsh and critical towards our banking system. I want them all in prison.

Freedom of speech means freedom to cause offence. The number of supposed liberals who’ve fallen at this most basic hurdle, because for the first time in their lives they risked losing the approval of their tribe, has been staggering.
