PenguinJuice , in Judges halt Biden rule offering student debt relief for those alleging colleges misled them

Students with debt need to unionize and not pay anything back.

tider06 ,

Americans in general need to unionize more.

This country needs a general strike in the worst way possible.

Wages will get garnished as soon as they don’t pay ☹️

Don’t know. Send some billionaire down to the Titanic to investigate it.

This story could have come out any two week period the past 15 years.

Anytime in the past couple centuries, if not longer.

“Your Honor, I just can’t face the consequences of my actions. Of course, my son is a monster and all of my enabling actions through money and power has caused this monster to grow into what we see her today, but, have you thought about what kind of message this sends to the wealthy?

I’ll be outside kicking puppies until your decision is rendered.”

For fuck’s sake, we can’t even help people who were scammed? This is insane.

tider06 ,

At this point, the whole secondary education system in the US is a giant scam to create debtors for the next 20-30 years.

MasterObee ,

Yuuuuup, degrees aren’t worth what they used to be worth, every basic job requires a degree now.

All the government has done by pushing college onto every kid, telling the kids to get enslaved by debt at age 18 to go to an overpriced college ran by politicians buddies is create an oppressed working class. Seems like it was by design

tider06 ,

Don’t forget the government ensuring that student loans are not able to be erased, even by bankruptcy.

This creates a guaranteed income stream for the banks, while also allowing the universities to crank up tuition costs, knowing that the bank will approve any student loan amount - knowing there will never be a default on that loan.

MasterObee ,

That as well, it seems like it was set up in the beginning to keep people sucking on the tits of the government and their buddies.

The government opens the flood gates of predatory loans, and forces every kid to go to classes being told they need a degree.

tover153 , in Catholic Archdiocese of S.F. says bankruptcy filing ‘very likely’ over abuse suits

Serious question, can’t the bankruptcy court force this, and all the diocese that are doing the same thing, to claw back the money they’ve sent Rome in the last 10, 20, or however many years?

Khanzarate ,

No. Ignoring the religious part, which is huge, they also sent that money to an organization that isn’t in the US. A US judge cannot enforce a ruling on a non-citizen.

It’s pretty comparable to how you’re SOL if you send money to a “Nigerian Prince”.

SeaJ , in Minneapolis ex-officer sentenced to nearly 5 years in Floyd killing

The judge noted that he expected at least a little bit of remorse and definitely not to be preached at.

SeaJ , in ABC News: Boston man files lawsuit seeking to bankrupt white supremacist group he says assaulted him

That’s what happened to the Aryan Nations. One of their workers beat the shit out of someone who then sued them into bankruptcy. The city repossessed their compound and used it for fire fighting practice. The neo Nazis did not simply up and leave there though. Many of them are still around if you scratch the surface.

Wow I am sure a drug den or an empty lot would have been enough of an improvement but good on that city for really turning it around.

The very first time I saw Brady on tv (circa 2000) I was watching whatever it was with my mom and we both presumed he was gay then and there. It was a little interesting just because there were so few evidently gay people on tv at the time in such prominent roles.

But yeah…

“Bisexual — with an open mind!”
seems about right too.

I think (hope) that hundreds of years from now, most of the human species will achieve this higher form of love and acceptance. It’s so silly to not freely love whom you love.

They seem like a lovely family :)

Also… looks like Redditors are starting to flood it here with their uber-insightful commentary.

corsicanguppy ,

Bah. Not my deal.

But you be your best you, and of course Wayne Brady should be his best him.

You can get the Death Penalty for a wide variety of behaviors in the US. Playing outside, sleeping in your bed, taking a walk, having a disagreement with a neighbor, being black, going to school, shopping, attending an outdoor concert, intervening in a dispute, attempting to steer clear of a dispute, driving, etc.
