2.5 million people qualified for this plan, one of 5 that were put in place.

The plan was largely targeting dropouts, because they tend to be most trapped by loans. They don’t get any income benefit from a college degree, and tend to have lower paying jobs. If you’re doing income based repayment at minimum wage, it’s possible for your loan principle to grow continuously.

I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it definitely would have helped people.

The federal government tracks all student loans, they know very explicitly how many people qualify.

If you’re making income based payments, and you have low income, the debt grows over time because the payments aren’t even enough to cover interest on the debt.

I don’t use Instagram or tiktok, but I’m a longtime consumer of YouTube educational content, and my shorts feed mostly matches. I suspect that the presence of extremely high quality educational video on youtube allows many creators to use shorts as a gateway into their longer form videos.

In short, I think they’re all only as good as you’ve trained the algorithm to make them. Without algorithmic training, I’m sure they’re the same.

Just as a couple examples

Jdraper has some great shorts on London history

Magnify has some nice shorts on etymology

Etymology nerd has some good shorts on linguistics

None of these creators are flawless, and you may not love their presentation style, but I discovered them all through shorts, and they have all taught me new things.

Great to see Greenwald continuing to platform grifters that spread disinformation.

Because there’s another mass shooting every couple days. It’s hard to care about why one dude did something crazy 7 years ago while bullets are still flying. People are much more focused on trying to stop the next one.

He’s pulling pretty heavily from “a legacy of ashes” by Tim Weiner, if anyone wants some deeper background of the CIA that he turned into just montages of names.

There are some good answers here, but I would also note that because the legal system is adversarial, continued investment can go a long way towards a desired outcome. If you can afford a parade of experts, huge amounts of gathered evidence, and contingency plans researched and prepared by dozens of lawyers and paralegals, you’ll do better in court.

It’s an arms race, so the “best” lawyers have spent the most on arms. That also means that even the worst lawyers have to invest a lot to keep up.
