Fwiw I’ve been telling my kids to reject the UNsubsidized loans (the ones where interest starts carrying immediately). But that only works because I’ve managed to save the money to pay that share in addition to the normal share

No it’s just predatory. As long as students believe college is essential and that is the only way to get it, the loans are predatory. It doesn’t help teens to understand if they don’t have a choice.
As someone who cares about my society, I believe it is essential for all students to have access to post-high school education, and as more than just job training. We need more people who can think better …. It’s in our own best interest to invest in our future: let’s make public universities/trade schools free to all who are interested
An ICE raid?
I don’t know if this counts as bad. It was an excellent movie, intentionally camp. And it worked

I do for things where I want to be accurate, but sometimes it seems like I’m the only one
On the other hand I advised my teen to buy the wrong battery because I didn’t click into the results for “what battery do i need to replace in my Subaru key?”
It’s never that easy - the attack comes later, after you’re hooked
My ex would hold onto my vulnerabilities for years before she would attack me with them. Now that we’re divorced, she does it immediately so a win for honesty?



I already have a similar enough situation. I’ve worked for several startup companies where part of my compensation is stock options that promise to make lots of money if. It’s not guaranteed so I’ll just continue normally until the time is up and I find out.
I mean, usually it is worthless, sometimes you feel cheated, but once I got enough to buy a new car
