No

What? The term ends and Breyer retires today. There wasn't a rush to get things in before she came to the bench since she's replacing Breyer

I never said don't do anything. "Rich people don't have debt you fucking donkey" is just plainly wrong.

Because poorer people who have no student debt will be sending $20K to those making more than $373K

Why does undergrad matter? "Rich kids don't have student debt" is simply untrue.

Sure. But "rich kids don't have student debt" is just absolutely false.

Yeah, income must be a consideration. Full forgiveness is genuinely a transfer of wealth *up* the ladder. I was surprised by the breakdown.

>50% of public student debt is held by households with incomes >$106K. Certainly $106K isn't *rich*, but it's pretty far from poor.

Households with incomes >$373K hold 26% of public student loan debt.

Yeah, and it's in English, too. It's almost as if it doesn't matter where the story *happened*, but the audience for whom it was *printed*.

It's minus 1 and we don't know how many points the question was worth. It may very well only be half off.

Yes it does. If people don't shop at Walmart, they will close stores or cut staff, so those incomes will go to 0.

This seems wildly unfair to the defense.

"Fortunately, none. How much time have *you* spent in Detroit?" Like he had me. "Between the two times I lived there, about 23 years."

They go on for a while and it's just getting ridiculous, so I asked them "so, how much time have you spent in Detroit?" 2/3

I live in Colorado now. Overheard people at work last night. "If an Amish person walked down the street in Detroit he'd be mugged." 1/3

Oh, Christ. Well, how about you read where "wait, I see what you're saying" instead of telling me something I already knew?

Okay, but then Ike can't count for Korea because, again, it was already happening when he took office. And this is about who takes us to war

Wait. I think I see what you're saying now.

You're counting Truman? The war was already happening when he took office.

Is that tape EB Red?

It is, yeah.

People get really hung up on sample size, not realizing that it really doesn't take that big of one to be accurate.

That is definitely not how that works.

It's actually JJ Abrams at his most restrained. There are a couple of vintage JJ shots, but it's not all that much like Star Trek.

That ignores the rest of the poem, that the roads were equally worn. There wasn't a road less taken.

Nah. I'm not violent. I just wanted that GI Bill.

That's why you test the dye on your hand first.

Expired ID's are a funny thing. On the one hand, I get it. On the other, it's not like I stopped being born in 1986 because my ID expired.
