Consider how the federalization of Student Loans has contributed to the price of college outpacing inflation by many times, and income by a magnitude.

That’s still only part of the problem, of course, hiring university leadership from the for profit business sector, privatizing loan servicing, etc. have all made college tuition skyrocket, but the loan program is a major issue.

A better option for college would be to subsidize universities directly with the requirements that their tuition stay within a linear relationship to inflation. Somewhat like state colleges offering low tuition for residents.

Housing needs more federal controls, which, to her credit she has explored in her platform along with disincentivizing, exploitative investment in private housing.

FWIW, I didn’t read anything in BM’s post that made me think he was arguing the incident was fake. I interpreted that (s)he was saying it probably was other debris or shrapnel, and he’s insisting it was an actual slug to look like a tough guy.

Right on, this isn’t about Ukraine’s restraint, it’s about Russia’s psychopathy.

Sounds a bit like the Castlevania Prologue music.

First chapter. Some of the other tracks on that video sound a little like a remix of some of those themes as well.

Yes and an sr-71 blackbird.

The Udvar-Hazy air and space museum annex near Dulles is actually the best part of that museum. Check it out!

“I think you’re missing the point, they’re pointing out a woman with a VERY comfortable life made up a racist lie to demonise those less fortunate than herself.”

I wonder when her best selling children’s fantasy book is going to drop?🤔

Was anyone ever able to see it as both like one of those perspective illusions? I can only see it as white and gold.

My dog wonders why I can’t be more like him.

This puts the whole thing in new perspective. This sounds like conspiracy theory and delusion. I almost expect this from Insanepeoplefacebook.

If we had a cat, a loft would be a brilliant idea!

First, You rock. You changed the context of your actions based on new information and have decided to change your approach going forward, and you’re honest about it. All political discourse should occur at this level of self-awareness and transparency.

And just so you know I commiserate…I volunteered for Blegojevich.

Judging by the spacing of the bannister rails that space looks to be ~36x30. My dog’s bed is 26" across, leaving plenty of room for the other stuff. I mean look for a dollhouse fireplace on line, they’re pretty small, and the lamp could just be a rubber fire hydrant toy with the lamp mount jammed in.

I always wanted a space like that to make a sweet pad for my dog, with a fire-hydrant lamp, photos on the wall of his dog friends and comfy bed, small corner fireplace etc…

The way your question is worded makes me think you’re not necessarily a rider but are just curious, or you’re a newer rider and haven’t gotten into these kinds of bikes yet. So if what I’m saying seems over-simplified obvious I apologize. I’m answering as accurately as I can for what I believe to be a less experienced rider. If I’m wrong, feel free to tell me and express any displeasure you have with my comment.

Imagine a triangle of sport bikes, cruiser/ touring bikes and dirt bikes. Sport bikes are light, fast, and have a very aggressive, and often uncomfortable riding position. Their job is to go very fast on well maintained, paved roadways.

Cruiser / touring bikes, are made to be comfortable and practical for long trips in a variety of weather, but still mostly on paved roads. Some are fast, most are kind of medium for speed and acceleration.

“Dirt bikes” are made to do well on anything other than pavement. Mud, first, gravel etc. They should be light weight, have good ground clearance for rocks and uneven terrain, have an upright riding position for visibility and leverage, and a lot of suspension travel for bumps and such.

I have a “Sport-tourer”, it can be very fast, somewhat light, and has a riding position between aggressive and sporty and upright and comfortable. It’s made for paved roads, and still has just enough room to put 2-3 days of clothes in storage. It’s in the middle of the sport to cruiser/touring leg of the triangle.

And Adventure bike is in the middle of the cruiser/touring to dirt bike leg of the triangle. You can carry clothes and such, have great off-road properties, stay on the light side. There are some fast adventure bikes, but the best ones understand that too much power can be a real downside off-road. It’s designed to use paved roads only to get you to the trails, plains, paths that you made the trip for in the first place, and let you stay there for a weekend.

Hope that’s helpful.

After what you told me, I’ll see that face every time I close my eyes.

“Being a failed clone that was rejected from a science lab does explain why he is extremely stupid the greatest warrior of the modern age.”

FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can’t say I ever thought of it as “Left”, it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international “news and Information” conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.
