Because they're lying through their teeth?
While things obviously vary school to school and state to state, the average in-state tuition at the NY-wide SUNY system is (from this link $8810 per year, just with tuition and fees. That jumps up to $27,710 if you add in room and board, books, etc (which many student loan programs cover). State school costs will obviously vary state to state, but the UCLA system is noticeably more expensive than the SUNY system.
According to this link there were 19.7 million college students in the US in Fall 2020.
Therefore, giving all of them one year with just in-state tuition (no books, no room and board) at SUNY would cost $173.55 billion, or twice what they're projecting. Including room and board would bump that up to $545.89 billion.
And that's a state school with in-state tuition. Private 4-year schools average about $50k per semester I think. With that, then we're talking a trillion+ a year.
Nothing new about this.
There was a film made in 2019 called Planet of the Humans. Doubt most of you watched it, because it was from a lefty perspective and had Michael Moore as the executive producer (it is available free on Youtube if anyone is interested though). But, it did a decent job of calling out a lot of the so-called "green energy" things as the total scams they are.
Of course, being a Moore film, it was all in the sense of "the planet is dying and these people are claiming to be helping it and only making it worse!" and I think it had the usual "nuclear bad!" section in there too, but even Moore was realizing what a scam this was 3 years ago. Wonder how long it will take for more people to do so.
Sad thing is, the article was 100% reasonable and mostly accurate.
Of course, if he actually had a spine and had conviction in anything he wrote in it, his response to the outrage should have been something along the lines of "you people are the very reason I wrote the article in the first place, and you're just proving my point for me. Point to any historical inaccuracies in what I wrote or STFU and GTFO"
Where I think it falls down from a 1A issue (though not a lawyer) is this: They're not just saying the Woke stuff, they're compelling others to go along with it.
If companies just said Woke stuff, ok, speech issue. But companies compel you to go to this training, and your employment is contingent on following it.
In schools, you are again forced to take Woke classes, and your success or failure in school depends on toeing the line.
1A means the state cannot silence you. 1A does not mean you can force others to comply with your will. Basically, what the judge is claiming DeSantis is trying to do with this is already happening just in the other direction. DARVO again it seems.
"This is revenge for those who died in the 1919 massacre," Chail said, referring to an incident when British troops shot dead nearly 400 Sikhs in their holy city of Amritsar in northwestern India. "It is also revenge for those who have been killed, humiliated and discriminated on because of their race," he said.
So, this is left-wing terrorism, yes? I eagerly await the media condemnation of this man's motives, and those who drove him to this.
It would be a total violation of due process.
Implying that everything they've done to him for the past 6 years hasn't been? I don't doubt you're correct in a legal sense, but that got thrown out when a 100% fabricated dossier was used to spy on a presidential campaign.
We'll see just as many laws and programs about that as we see for increasing male enrollment in college. It's only been 3 decades since women have over-represented in higher education, I'm sure there's a whole slew of mechanisms for addressing that in place now.
To be fair, the US government did screw up a lot with regards to HIV. It's a good thing that measures were taken to ensure the guy in charge of that disaster was removed from all forms of power. It would have been terrible if he was left in the same governmental position for decades and (over the last few years) used that position to destroy the economy and begin a forced injection campaign across the entire country.
Even if you just look at millionaires, there's just over 20 million in the US apparently. Which means those 87000 new IRS employees can cover every millionaire if they get assigned about 200 apiece. Anyone who thinks this was just about "tax the rich" is an idiot.
You know what? At this point, I hope the guy somehow wins the lawsuit. And then other whales hear about it and start suing as well. It's obvious that plenty of people don't have the ability to stop whaling, so maybe a spate of high-profile lawsuits will convince these companies to stop trying to catch the whales.
Plus, the article explicitly says
That Earth’s days are getting shorter is no cause for alarm, he says, because the actual time difference amounts to fractions of a second over the course of a year.
But, of course, we nee an exaggerated headline to freak people out. We really need to get rid of all the presstitutes.
And there it is. August we get hit with repeated "BA.4.6 is coming!" propaganda, come early September the push switches to "To keep Grandma safe, we need to have another wave of lockdowns and full mail-in voting in November!"
Ridiculously, the bio of the author of that ridiculous statement includes:
I'm a moderate who finds Wikipedia's editorial process to consist of nothing more than a liberal echo chamber. (See also: Ivory tower). I avoid making substantive edits as a result.
Self awareness? What's that?
It's not at all the fault of loan companies. It is the fault of one organization, the US Federal government.
Most student loans — about 92%, according to a July 2021 report by MeasureOne, an academic data firm — are owned by the U.S. Department of Education.
The government decided to get into the student loan game. The government decided to give out the bad loans. The government doing so spiked the price of colleges dramatically over the last few years. Therefore, the government had to keep issuing bigger loans, which meant the debts people had became higher and higher. It is 100% a government problem.
That said, I do say that the government should eat it. Not the taxpayers. Start taking from bureaucrat and politician bank accounts, starting with every politician supporting bailing out people with student debt and Department of Education employees and keep going based on seniority in other departments until you've either bankrupted every single government employee or paid back the loans.
