        It has been proven over the past decade that memes have real political power.

        That was a serious statement and not a joke.

      Even people who were once poor and struck it rich usually quickly lose touch with what it feels like to be poor

      I’m not sure about that one. If you’ve been poor you’re semi-terrified of ever being poor again. It can make you do strange things which sometimes causes you to end up poor again.

    Republicans and Trump Admin Will Garnish Struggling Borrowers’ Wages as Student Loan Payments Resume

    The Trump administration on Monday announced that it will resume involuntary collection measures against defaulted federal student loan recipients, including garnishing wages, tax refunds, and Social Security benefits and “other actions to help borrowers get back into repayment,” as the U.S. Department of Education euphemistically said.

    “Resuming collections protects taxpayers from shouldering the cost of federal student loans that borrowers willingly undertook to finance their postsecondary education,” DOE said in a statement notifying the public that collections will resume May 5. “This initiative will be paired with a comprehensive communications and outreach campaign to ensure borrowers understand how to return to repayment or get out of default.”

        This is America. This can mean 4000 calorie meals at the extreme end. So we require fewer meals to miss to reach the mean calorie count of most other countries which equal 9 meals.

    I’ll deal with it, but could you be a dear and come show me how, in person? And no need to bring any form of security, half the people on this street are former marines, specwar navy, an army Ranger, and about a dozen former national guard. They’ll all be here to ensure security of the country.
