Dollars to donuts she understands her loan now, whether she did when she got them, is pure speculation, but she’s pointing the issue, not saying woe is me. The issue isn’t about her. You are missing the point completely, not surprising as you stay on the edge of issues trying to dunk on people with some asinine point but more times than not you It’s quite comical watching the spin and continue on missing the main point, staying with your fringe scenarios that you think make you sound informed on the topic when everyone can see that you are just a GOP cuck happily lapping up the mess while those who you support openly reach into your wallet while telling how great it can be, knowing you’ll never be included.

Good for her that her family have an income that she can afford to pay her student loan and still get this house, I'm not sure why Greg (or Fox/Republicans et al) is questioning this. I don't see where she is in default on her loan, just mentioning, as I posted earlier, what one of the biggest problems with student loans is, if she got a loan for $180,000 and has been paying for 11 years, the payoff balance should not be more than the initial loan, let alone over 10% increase in payoff amount. This is a predatory loan that should be fixed. Retroactively fixing predatory student loans would go along way in fixing the student loan issues that too many people are dealing with and are not nearly as fortunate as Alessandra. Doing so would be a boon for the economy and coming to a solution for this issue that is financially crippling so many Americans should be a top tier priority for all elected officials.

the biggest issue with student loans is the predatory nature of the interest rates and scamming 18 year olds that have no idea on what a good loan is versus a bad loan. I'm more in favor of restructuring all current student loans and future loans to be more manageable. Just making up random numbers as an example, but something like all student loans are at 5% interest compounded annually, interest is waved if your adjusted gross income is under $50,000 annually for people filing single and under $80,000 for all other filing options, and still have these excluded from bankruptcy filings. People shouldn't be paying monthly minimum and seeing the payoff amount go up, which is happening, because of predatory loans. This could also go in the Education thread, but there needs to be a financial literacy class (teaching kids about credit cards, loans, investments etc) that is required for graduation. Personally I think it should be two classes a more basic class you take sophomore or junior year of HS and an advanced class you take your senior year, to help kids understand what happens when you get credit cards at 18, when you get your 100,000 student loan and the risks involved with that. Yes, parents need to help with this as well, but there are A LOT of financially illiterate parents out there and these kids have no idea what they are getting into when signing that document.

I'd rather have Mark Jackson gone. If the NBC rumors are true, I hope JVG and Jalen get picked up by them. Mark Jackson can retire, or better yet, go become the HC of the celtics.

@Guy Chamberlinas the resident Warriors fan, what are your thoughts on CP3 joining? I think you had to get rid of Poole to have any chance of Dray coming back. So, in that regard it's a win. Just not sure about CP3s style of play fitting with what Kerr wants to do.

I like this, I think this actually hurts boston more than helps them. Of all these trades that have just happened, I'm really curious about the fit of CP3 in Golden State. His pace seems slower than what the Warriors run. It'll be interesting to see how that works.

From the way I understand CP3's contract, he had a partially guaranteed contract for roughly 5 million. Once traded, it became fully guaranteed at 30 Million. Going to cost the Wiz a lot to get rid of him and that's why they are trying to find a 3rd team to ship CP3 to and maybe get more pieces. No one wants him at that price. A lot of interest for vet minimum for him. Which CP3 will be for since he's getting 30 Mill from the Wiz.

Depth was already an issue with the Suns. This isn't going to help. And based on the new CBA, this puts them in a bad spot with KD, Book and now Beal under contract for the next 3 years and they control no draft picks for the next 5-6 years. And I can't imagine Ayton coming back either. Going to be interesting to watch them build a quality roster that can actually do any damage in the West. Starting 5, when healthy, will be great. Not sure this team can stay healthy and when they bring in subs...YIKES.

Looking at this thread, the one thing that stood out to me, BellWest has a lot of young offensive talent. They should be able to keep up their winning ways for a few more years. If they could just find guys to be average on defense, look out.

I need to go back to 1st grade and work on my alphabet. I swore 'S' was well after 'C', but seeing this list and Julian Sayin at the top has me questioning everything I learned about letters.

Not sure if there is a more embarrassing and just pathetic way to end what could and should have been a hall of fame career. And now all reports have how admins looked the other way with him and allowed so many other DUI offenses in the past. Good riddance Huggins, the sport will be better without you.

All 4 first games I thought were really good and had some drama late. LSU was the most dominant, but once they went to the pen, it got a little interesting for a minute.

USF, Wichita St and Gonzaga to the Big East....no basis for this other than Gonzaga being courted by the Big East and Big XII. They would fit better in the Big East, as they have no football program, but would want/need a travel partner. Hence adding USF. Adding WSU for the potential loss of UConn. I could also see adding VCU instead of WSU if/when UConn leaves.

Softer penalty than I was expecting. Especially considering they didn't want to disrupt the Finals with his punishment announcement, made it seem to be more extreme than it turned out to be. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37863825/sources-grizzlies-ja-morant-suspended-25-games-nba

Any guess on when Adam Silver and the NBA announce Ja's punishment? And what that punishment will be? There are reports that the decision has been made, but Adam and the NBA Player Union right didn't want to release it right away so as not to take the focus off of the Finals. I personally think he will be suspended until the All-Star Break (60ish games). I think the NBA wants to send a clear message to both current and future players that guns are not part of the NBA culture and will drop the hammer on Ja. I also wouldn't be surprised if it will be for the entire season and having conditions attached that need to be met before being re-instated.

That dude in the blue shirt on the far side of the canopy just went for a LONG ride. Video never shows him coming down.

I guarantee that Desantis/Scott will not be in the Oval Office as President and Veep in January of 25.

My dream scenario would be UVA vs Tennessee for the championship. Get to hang out with some friends that I haven't seen in awhile, both work for the respective universities.

Mini-dynasty ready to go. If that core stays healthy (mostly Jokic and Jamal) they are primed to be threats for at least the next 2 years.

Subscription based, but why in the angry left? Just based on the headline of Target having bomb threats due to Pride displays, seems like a angry Replubican issue. But I can't read the article so maybe I'm missing something.

This is career based, he's around 20th. Numbers 1 & 2 really surprised me. But then I remember the stat of who has the best FG% for the Lakers in their history and I was like...oh well that's dumb (it's JaVale McGee at 1 and Dwight Howard at 2 cause all they did was dunks and layups). https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/highest-field-goal-percentage-in-playoff-history-minimum-10-field-goals-attempts-per-game Here is single season record. Jokic doesn't make the top 250 all time, this stat doesn't have a minimum per game requirement. Has a minimum for playoff year. Had to have at least 20 FGs during the playoffs. https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg_pct_season_p.html

Rooting for UVA and Tennessee, have personal connections to both programs.
