Hopefully she adopts Biden policies on student loan forgiveness or even better actually pushes for college cost reform.

I’ve had this idea that maybe they (govt) should help push ppl into trades. Specifically trades that would help build and maintain housing.


I feel like this would kill two birds with one stone.

1.) lessen demand for higher edu. which could cause its value to lessen or stagnant even more.

2.) help with the push to build more homes

No empathy for Trump but NGL this sounds crazy AF:

Trump watches himself get shot ‘over and over’ and staff fear he has PTSD: report

The former president has viewed the seven-second clip, in which his right ear was grazed with a bullet, multiple times, according to a Republican source close to his campaign

www.independent.co.uk

He's probably spiraling and too machismo to see a therapist, while he is basically the living reincarnation of that Chappelle joke about Kobe playing for his life when he was in court on rape charges. Every slip in the polls is a realization that he's gonna likely go to jail and he doesn't have the emotional intellgience to tackle that in a real way. Couple that with the realization that he came inches from death and likely doesn't have the emotional intelligence to deal with that either and it's a recipe for disaster.

Wouldn't be completely surprised if he dropped dead before the election. It seems like the route that would lead to the largest amount of conspiracies, which is the American way

It’s what Robert Evans said a few weeks back. Dude legit has PTSD but is too much of a narcissist, psycho to admit it. He could have won of the presidency off showing natural emotion of someone who almost had their head blown off on TV, but instead he shut down that ability. He is clearly feeling some effects from almost being assassinated by these insane public gatherings but can’t do anything.

It's not him saying this, it's the people in the crowd applauding it that's crazy.

The people in the crowd are the 1% and think they are the heroes of every story.

I hope that Kamala campaigns on a supporting a federal public option.

Landlords that jack up prices, have been getting (violent) pushback the last few years. Landlords in Chicago been getting dismembered, landlords in Texas been shot and murdered in cold blood, and landlords in NY been getting locked up and getting beaten half to death in Rikers Island.

High prices = higher risk of violence.

Man you done crept into this sub forum too? Stick to TLR breh. We don’t need your psychopathic fantasies in here

1st debate is going to be in Philly... like 20 min walk from where I live

The only realistic fix is some type of cost share model between the student and the government. For example, once 25% of principal is paid off the government pays off the remaining 75%. All this stuff has to be paid for tho

Almost seems like someone worth voting against and who has no business being President. Almost!


Crazy!

That would be great. So far the only thing she's mentioned about healthcare policy is vague words of support for buttressing Obamacare
