Any kind of nuts are probably good, but dry roasted peanuts are the best. I’m a purist, but you might like pretzels or m&ms in it.

Kansas City has been nearly perfect over their last 11 games, earning 31 out of 33 possible points. For perspective, only one other team has accumulated 31 points over their entire season.

What does any of this have to do with the government giving disadvantaged people grants to level the playing field? If anything, the government giving grants so people don’t have to take out more loans would help prove your point. If you had one, that is.

Dangit. Tried to reword the first sentence. It should say do you know what Pell grants are and how much students get? I’ll tell ya. The average is $4500 and the max is $7400 per year. Most schools apply the grant before the amt of loans so students won’t take out more than needed in loans.

Your assertion that more access leads to higher prices is inaccurate as well. Education is one of those things that gets cheaper at scale. Total cost goes up but per pupil cost goes down as you add students.

Do you know how much Pell grants are and how much students can get? Your two sentences statements contradict each other. You should look into the reasons a little more deeply. A decrease in public funding shifted the burden from the general public to the individual student.

You’d have a point if everyone got the $. Did Pell Grants single handedly raise college tuition, or do they help low income students afford the already high tuition? Do food stamps/WIC increase the price of food or help poor people buy already expensive food. Rent/utility assistance?

The server will be the next Riley Gaines and grift her way to fame and fortune. There are enough bigots willing to part with their money to support these losers. Hopefully any legal judgment will garnish future wages.

My local school district went to this. The state doesn’t pay for free meals, but it cost a lot to means test it. There were so many who qualified, plus it’s the right thing to do, so they just give everyone free breakfast and lunch plus dinner if they’re in the afternoon school care program.

When you get in and it’s very hot the AC blowing directly at you feels good, but not for more than a few minutes. Same with the heat in the winter.

The people reading an AI-written brief know it’s good because they spent years getting better at writing briefs.

Utterly depressing read. But the shortsightedness of it all is what gets me. The fact that we know AI can do the work of recent college grads is because we did that work ourselves. In 10 years we will have old Sr managers and no one else who knows what work is good work. substack.com/@andrewyang/...

They’ll send it back to the states. The democrats saw this coming years ago and that’s why we have the Respect Marriage Act which says the Feds and all states must recognize same sex marriages issued when/where they were legal. Until it is overturned, too.

Groceries. What a great word, groceries. It’s an old fashioned term.

Cognitive dissonance. Grocery prices affect them, but they don’t want it to be Trump’s fault so it simply isn’t. They’re on board with the racism, so they’ll ignore the rest.

A significant portion of Americans are unwilling or unable to connect the suffering to the real cause.
