  • there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months

    That’s not a small amount. That’s fucking with economic outlook levels.

    As for their program to “guide” folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they’re indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.

    And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, “pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life” to be their go to solution.

    There’s a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump’s administration to fuck it up every step of the way.







  • Schedule F classification. Trump tried it once towards the end of his first term, promised that he would do it again when he came back into office but Trump lost that election.

    That he’s now doing again is literally no surprise. He absolutely promised that this would happen and spoke about how he was going to do it if he won 2024 after losing 2020.

    Long story short, this creates what basically amounts to at-will employment at the Federal level. Again, this should come as a shock to no one, like he started detailing the implementation back in 2022, before he even got the nomination, it’s literally one of the most consistent things about Trump’s policy.

    Now if you’re wondering, yes, at-will employment styled employment in Federal Office will mean that if Trump doesn’t like someone for any reason, they can be let go, zero employment protections.



  • Apple’s AI isn’t a letdown. AI is the letdown.

    Actually it’s the investors that wanted some gimmick to sell a billion brand new iPhones that’s the letdown. AI is just a bunch of bytes that can’t do anything unless someone’s greed gets it to do something.

    I hate these kinds of articles because they keep making excuses for the actual problem. I mean right there, it was right there in the story and CNN buried the lead.

    The real reason companies are doing this is because Wall Street wants them to. Investors have been salivating for an Apple “super cycle” — a tech upgrade so enticing that consumers will rush to get their hands on the new model.

    It’s right there and CNN and many other media keep handing out passes on it blaming something else. Investors are greedy ass bastards and will use literally anything from magic beans to snake oil if it means they can make five extra cents. The investors, the Wall Street bastards are the problem. THEY ARE THE FUCKING LETDOWN. Never forget that.

    I bet my fucking left kidney, that if there’s a “victory” over AI and it goes away. Those bastards will be back with some new flashy thing nobody asked for. I bet both my fucking kidneys, that’s how sure I am of it. Nobody solves shit, unless they solve that first.





  • He has pent up emotional trauma that he has refused to work through with a therapist like a normal human being.

    Thus he sees inflicting human suffering as a viable alternative to working through those issues. Because that was he can feel better knowing others are worse off.

    That’s the dog. Should it be in the race? Nah. But some cucklefucks just refuse to act like normal human beings. Maybe a therapist isn’t alpha male enough or some shit? But for one reason or another they just refuse to address their mental trauma like normal people.





  • I’ll say it again. These Mennonites are never going to change their stance on vaccines. Most are stuck with beliefs dating back to the early 1700s. Hell the couple in question with the six year old who died speak a broken English + Early 18th Century Low Germanic language.

    These people are beyond back woods. Asking them to change is about as likely as having the sun set in the East. Their daughter dying from a preventable disease isn’t some lack of prevention, to them it was the will of God.

    You might as well walk up to a seven year old and ask them to perform triple bypass surgery. These people are unable to understand a vaccine. They lack the quantifiable knowledge to even begin to comprehend a vaccine.

    People might ask how many of their children must die before they vaccinate. The answer is 100% of them. Likely fully explaining vaccines and microbiology to them would likely be seen as human arrogation in God’s will. They would rather be wiped from the face of the Earth than to believe they have some sort of say over God’s will.

    That is the kind of people we are talking about here. They will unquestionably follow the “laws” of their religion even if it means the painful death of everyone they love. You CAN NOT CHANGE these people. It is impossible.


  • It’s because these people are poorly educated. This group of Mennonites is very back woods thinking. There are zero ways they will ever trust vaccines.

    You ask what percentage of kids it will take? 0% All of their children could die and they would chalk it up to God’s will and get busy on making more.

    Most people cannot comprehend just how backwards some of these groups are but think of life early 1700s. That’s what you are dealing with. No one can convince these people anymore than someone can make the sun set in the East.

    There is nothing that can be done about these people. Hell some don’t even speak English, they still speak the old low German language. Like this couple they speak a broken mix between 1700s German and English that’s developed in that area.

    I cannot stress this enough, these people are never going to vaccinate. The cost of life is completely irrelevant in this aspect.
