Auto loans are terrible and I always pay them off as soon as I can, but they will never really be that big a threat because you CAN sell your car and buy a substantially cheaper one, in most cases. Sometimes you can sell your car and just use public transit or bike/walk.
I quit the career my major gave me after 7 years and now I’m doing something totally different… I won’t say I regret it because my old industry is how I got the new industry connections to make them change but yeah… I’m using none of what I learned.
Be careful about turning your hobbies into careers, kids! You just might start associating it with work stress and stop doing it entirely
Opposite for me. My degree is editing/motion graphics but my first job killed that passion pretty hard. Now I’ve got “engineer” in my title but I wish I went to school for mechanical engineering
People still need cars, usually. So people who owe $50k on a car can sell and buy a $20k car while people with $20k cars are selling to that person and buying a $5k car or whatever. People are in different ranges based on their situation with income and needs.
The headline made it sound like the Republicans avoided it; that’s all. You know most Republicans don’t read anything more than a headline. :) I’m mostly frustrated with that is all. The context almost always leans differently.
Republicans avoid shutdown by cutting deal with Democrats over their own party’s hardliners
Any Republican who reads that, what do you think they read? I know what I think, and, unfortunately, as an observer of those people’s reactions, I’m positive that’s how they’ll read it.
Not my take away from the headline at all. Makes the GOP sound like they don’t have their shit together so McCarthy had to go hat in hand to the Dems seeking actual adults capable of governing.
To be fair, while most of the GOP might have their shit together, they have a crazy faction blocking them
In a way, it might just be possible that this marks a realization that they will have better results working in a bipartisan manner than trying to appease the nutjobs.
How in the world can you say most of the GOP has their shit together when all they’ve done is support Trump? Block anything Democrat backed? I don’t understand where you’re coming from at all.
Have their shit together meaning they can actually function as a coherent group to achieve actually getting something done, whether I agree with them or not. When you toss the “Freedom Caucus” into the fray and if you refuse to work at all with democrats, then the party “does not have their shit together” insofar as they can’t pass anything. To try to pick their own speaker they utterly struggled.
Here they wanted the government to keep functioning by and large, but a small contingent just wants to burn everything down. The fact that the larger population of GOP were willing to work with Democrats rather than try to appease the nutjob wing is evidence that they “have their shit together” enough to actually get something passed they wanted to get passed.
Very well deserved award. Her sharp focus on mRNA through many years, even without the support of academic institutions, allowed her to achieve the breakthroughs needed to develop the new gen of vaccines. Per the NYT article:
But for many years her career at the University of Pennsylvania was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60,000 a year. Dr. Kariko’s struggles to stay afloat in academia have a familiar ring to scientists. She needed grants to pursue ideas that seemed wild and fanciful. She did not get them, even as more mundane research was rewarded.
