They'll still vote for him. The (R) outweighs anything a Democrat could do.

He's in the part of the plan where he delays.

Next up: legal challenges to Harris being on the ballot. However silly or spurious or quickly they're tossed out, it'll be the next excuse for not debating.

By then, well, it's too close to the election, some early voting has started, and it wouldn't be fair to debate now, see...

I'd like to know.

I want to go out on my own terms. If that means I don't have to save so much for retirement... Great, I can go on expensive vacations now instead of later.

And then I can do what needs to be done without regrets.

My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

I was like, "Probably. But it's like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building.. doable, but a bad plan all around."

It would be better if they got a terrible one. Like Keenan in a blonde wig.

You got it.

It's a sweet deal for the servicers.. the loans are basically zero risk and the servicer gets to keep a lion's share of the interest while only paying for the costs associated with servicing (customer service, mailing statements, pausing repayment for various reasons, etc.)

That said, those loans shouldn't be confused with private student loans, in which the government is. It involved (mostly).

Indeed. Everyone tries to blame Democrats for, when they have the slimmest of majorities, for not doing everything, when there are literally 49 Republican senators out there who are the ones who are truly blocking progress.

I know.

They have unrealistic expectations about how the world works and feel like anger, even if justified, should be enough.

The ACA, while not perfect, literally saved my life. It prohibits lifetime maximums and eliminated the idea of pre-existing conditions.

Without that, I'd be dead.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Let's apply the same standard, then.

Let it ride until after the election, and then apologize and correct the mistake.

Right.

Owning one or two residential properties is fine, more is problematic.

I say "two" to handle the very common case of children putting their parents' homes in their own name because Medicare clawback rules will take the home after they die if you don't do it early enough.

The documents were delivered by GOP congresspeople during Trump's term, over a July 4 holiday.
