Farmers pay money for seed so they can get a useful harvest. Nobody pays for seeds that don't produce... Why should we? Get a major that has a value to society and you should have no problems paying off loans. Get a major that allows you to party for 4-5 years, pay for it yourself.
Meanwhile communities are worried about the excessively lavish apartments college students are living in despite not being "affordable." http://wabe.org/post/athens-lu...
Society benefits from an educated workforce? Is that the entire workforce? At what point are communications degrees not benefiting society anymore? Do we really need every person in the US with a 4 year degree for every potential career out there? We already give everyone in our society access to free education through a high school diploma. That is an educated workforce. College was supposed to be higher learning for careers that required above and beyond a high school education, not just a 4 (or 5) year party after high school before young people start looking for a job.
Go to college to get an education to get a highly valued career and you should have no problems paying off a loan. If you aren't going to get a highly valued career out of it, then maybe a high school education is all you need for your career... Why should society be on the hook for your worthless extra education?
I'm the same way about the popups. If you have a popup ad that manages to get around my adblocker, well obviously your content isn't compelling enough to keep people on your site because you have to use hated means to get clicks...
And dear baby jeebus what the hell is up with the new trend of popups within the window? Did they learn nothing from the late 90s? Nobody fucking wants your popup ads.
Well recently I've been commuting ~150 miles each way every weekend to my in-laws as my mother in law just passed away from brain cancer. Maybe doable in a Tesla, but I don't have $90k to spend on a car... And at ~$2.30/gallon and 28ish MPG, the cost per mile is pretty darn convincing considering it's a car I bought for $4k 4 years ago.
It also takes hours to recharge the EV vs a few minutes at most to refill the gasoline version. That being said, the Spark EV also has 5x the torque of the gas powered version. It would be fantastic to drive...
Umm, food stamps can be used for just about anything at a grocer except alcohol and tobacco. Straight up vegetable oil is available for purchase with food stamps. So is Red Bull, candy, cake, and god knows what else: http://dailycaller.com/2014/06...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but multiple tapping (5x) of the shift key still enables de-facto "caps lock" via Sticky Keys for the rare users who do want it, use it on a regular basis, and are too lazy to map a keyboard shortcut themselves.
I disagree heavily. Even the US isn't so dumb as to target a killing in Russia. They can get away with it in Pakistan who isn't going to fight back, but with Putin? There isn't a chance in hell. Putin has every reason to keep Snowden alive and happy in Russia if nothing else because it is a political black eye against the US. If he comes back to the US, he'll probably "commit suicide" in prison awaiting trial.
Ok, there have been a few pitiful attempts, but you might as well include somebody throwing their shoe at GWB as an assassination attempt as laughable as some of these are.
Pfft. The Secret Service is antiquated for protecting the president. Maybe useful for protecting the family, but Presidents have known for awhile that the best way to not get assassinated is to have a total buffoon as the Vice President. I mean what crazy Liberal would shoot GWB knowing that Dick Cheney would take over? No one is going to shoot Obama and end up with crazy uncle Biden in the oval office! You can go back probably till Reagan and it holds true. And how many assassination attempts have been made on recent presidents? Zero.
There is always a possibility that the job and the employer are great and not trying to gouge you while in a vulnerable position. Or that their HR department is so incompetent they didn't bother to ask if you were currently employed and just assumed you were.
Yep, and if you are applying for jobs while unemployed, be prepared for zero negotiating room. The employer knows your option is to take it or continue eating into savings if you have it. You are almost better off taking the job and continuing to look.
Unless they invent a bullshit "disciplinary" reason for the firing in which case you are out your job and the termination allowance you thought you were entitled to. Are you a white male? Good luck fighting that one out with a lawyer...
Ahh but you forget that Google is filled with white males. No amount of lawyers can successfully sue claiming discrimination against this group. Ask me how I know... Here's a hint. An employer can fire a white male for any made up reason with no evidence even against their own policies and with a good performance review. A law group might send a letter but if the company ignores the letter, they won't take it to trial.
[Citation Needed] Considering close to 1/4 of the price of gas in most places in the US is ALREADY taxes, that would be a hard number to back up. Or are you comparing the price here to the even higher taxed fuel in other countries and calling that a "subsidy"?
Soundrels would also make an excellent movie... Alas, Star Wars will never be in the public domain in our lifetimes in order to make the movies on our own.

Bravo Sir... I saw you being oppressed right there. It's the violence inherent to the system.

I agree and to sell it politically I recommend we call it "reprocessing fuel for use in geothermal power plants."
Han Solo being chased by Minions? Oh wait, Minions is Universal...
