Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I may not do a Luigi myself, but I will look the other way and make sure I don't see anything if a Luigi is being done.

Who, Luigi? Yeah he was with me 7 states over for several days during the events in question. We decided to have a dudes rock adventure time biking trip. We left our cell phones at home and took my old ass car with limited technology camping and biked out in the great wilderness disconnected from society for a while. It was great to get away from it all and deal with life's many stressors, you know? It's easy to forget about things like oppressive healthcare systems and the people who run them when you're out in nature.

A lot of people might not even find it worth working if their already meager wages are garnished to pay insurmountable debts. I’ve been in a similar situation and know I considered just saying fuck it and leaving the workforce altogether.

Sorry kids."

I remember back 15 years ago they talked about taking 10% of wages for student loans for 10 years and then your debt is wiped regarless of balance left. I remember tons of conservatives flipping out at wage gouging as if paying loans is not gouging with more steps.

If you make 100k for 10 years you pay 100k but if you make 35k with your degree its only 35k. Seemed fair.
