Heh. This tweet amuses me, but leaves out something important. - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:34 6
- " it's a offer guaranteed to piss off the maximum number of people...on both sides" -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 23, 10:45 2
  - It is also the sound of a government getting sh!# done, which had become a rare sound in the country. -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 10:54
  - Which is the very definition of a compromise -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 10:48
- $125k/year still seems like a very low bar in that it doesn't do much to counter complaints about the policy. I wish they had a better messaging - oblique Aug 23, 10:41 2
  - The messaging on this has been horrible. Start with the top line number, people! $300 billion in student debt relief, or whatever the number actually turns out to be. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 23, 11:36
  - The Dems seem to enjoy stumbling around with each foot and at least one hand stuck deep into hornets' nests -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:47

Air travel sounds like a proper nightmare. This flight was overbooked and the airline was buying out first classes for $1000 a pop. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:24 20
- My friend flew Spirit Sunday night from LA to Pittsburgh and they were offering $500 for people to take the Monday morning flight. I didn't think they - jnine Aug 23, 11:26
- Holy crap. That would suuuuuck. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:44
- That sounds like the dream, not a nightmare! -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:26 17
  - For those who were able to take the money and run, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:28 16
    - Exactly. I rebooked myself quickly yesterday because it was obvious to me that cancellations odds were high re: Newark. - ty97 Aug 23, 10:53
    - In the end they cancelled the flight so those people are up $1k and everyone's equally stranded. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:30 14
      - If it's the same as the $600 we got for bumping us, it was in the form of a $600 credit that had to be used within 90 days. - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:42 4
        
        90 days? What airline is this? Usually the credits are good for a year in my experience. -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:54 2
        
        It was Frontier, so I'm sure ymmv -- nm - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:59 1
        
        ahh, okay. That major airlines give you a year I think. Don't think I'd take a 90 day -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 11:01
        
        Ah. Well, I'll have to keep that in mind if it ever happens to me. Cash or they can get lost. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:45
      - Right, but the $1000 people also had the benefit of not being dicked around for seven hours. Must be nice. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:36 8
        
        Yup. They either got other flights or were relaxing in a hotel room while those people got dicked around. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:40
        
        Video of the customer service line -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:39 6
        
        that almost triggered an anxiety attack, thx -- nm - mud Aug 23, 11:09
        
        There was a woman trying to get from EWR to DEN yesterday that was on the tarmac so long that they didn't have enough fuel anymore - ty97 Aug 23, 10:56
        
        Rebook yourselves in the app people, why are you in that line?! -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:55
        
        I am pretty sure any person who can work an airline's customer service desk should be at least considered for sainthood. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:47 1
        
        It has to be a very tough job. AND they are understaffed lately too which makes it that much worse -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:57
        
        *smh* -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:41
Angels owner Arte Moreno says he's exploring selling the team. -- (link) - budice Aug 23, 10:24 6
- official -- (link) - budice Aug 23, 10:51 1
  - As a fan of baseball, it is probably good for the game. As a fan of an AL West team, I will miss him. -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 10:56
- Angels fans should be so lucky. Also, they should go back to being the California Angels. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 23, 10:27 3
  - Real Estate deal fell thru on space development around stadium due to corruption. Final straw likely -- nm - budice Aug 23, 10:31 1
    - Sounds like good news all around then. For the sake of Angels fans I hope he sells the team. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:34
  - Yup. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 23, 10:30

David, does the superyacht thief have their own crew? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:36 12
- A couple hard guys who have guns and you're the captain now -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 23, 10:43
- Inside job. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 23, 09:49 4
  - A full mutiny (likely with the owner not aboard), or a lone operator? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:50 3
    - Absentee owner -- nm - The Allfather Aug 23, 09:55 2
      - Do they have an exit strategy (E.g., a buyer), or will they end up like the fish in bags in Finding Nemo? -- (edited) - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:09 1
        
        Still just blue sky phase right now. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 23, 10:30
- Below Deck: On the Lam -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 09:44 5
  - Now I'm thinking of which cast members from Below Deck I would want specifically for my yacht heist crew. - Dano Aug 23, 09:52 3
    - The problem with Below Deck (& even Deadliest Catch) is they never show the real guys you want for a heist: the engineering crew -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 10:08 1
      - That said, the British chef who worked a lot on the early seasons seems like he'd have larceny in his soul. -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 10:13
    - Tell me which seasons to watch! -- nm - The Allfather Aug 23, 09:55
  - I was thinking more along the lines of "Gone In 60 Leagues" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:45

- It's a great start. -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 10:29
- I've heard this before. I'm waiting for the chick to fully emerge from the egg before I count it. -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 10:18
- Way to piss off both sides of the argument, Joe! :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 09:48 13
  - That is how you know he is doing the right thing -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 10:15 1
    - In this case, at least, probably. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 10:21
  - somehow, I'd never get pissed off if I had $10000 of debt forgiven. Sure I might want more, but it's still $10000 damn dollars. -- nm - Diva Aug 23, 09:54 2
    - Welcome to absolutism. It’s not just a haven of the Right. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 10:14
    - But, but…the memes! -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 10:00
  - Both extreme sides. He’s doing the centrist thing as he said he’d do. -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 09:48 7
    - I don’t have a problem with it, but personally I’d like to hear about structural changes to the program instead of just bandaids. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 23, 10:01 6
      - A nice start would be drastically lowering the interest rate students pay. Undergrad is like 5% and grad is even higher at 6.5% and up. - Krusty Aug 23, 10:33 2
        
        a nice start would be lowering tuition to affordable levels. -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 11:41 1
        
        Agreed. Though, the government doesn't set the cost of tuition. They can help in a small way by making it less costly to borrow the money needed for - Krusty Aug 23, 11:48
      - Yeah, it just happens again unless A) fixes are put in place or B) fewer people pursue higher ed. - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:16
      - agreed. I want them to have less debt and education to be cheaper -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 23, 10:11
      - Panders to young voters—maybe $10K will help a few younger folks get to the polls -- nm - Flavorize Aug 23, 10:03
- Not nearly enough. Cancel the full $50k for all borrowers and let that act as a stimulus to the economy. - TWuG Aug 23, 09:44 1
  - Sure, if you want to forget about trying to control inflation. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 09:49

- Your IM—🤣—exactly—don’t know how much his ego can take—this is a pretty big hit -- nm - Flavorize Aug 23, 09:27
- Steve Nash and coaching staff start looking for new employment -- nm - JD Aug 23, 09:27 3
  - The GM is basically best friends with Nash. Sadly, he's not going anywhere. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:54 2
    - but, but, I thought it was KD or Nash had to leave -- nm - JD Aug 23, 10:25 1
      - That was never going to happen once it was made public. No team would fire their GM and coach in that situation, even if they wanted to. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 11:51
- Nobody like him, everybody hates him -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 23, 09:14 [youtube]
