Are you a female Senator from MA?

Lol. Funny that you are being downvoted because you are absolutely correct.

I guess the deadbeats don't care - they just want their free money from the taxpayers.

What about those who took out loans, paid them back, AND paid $80k+ in extra taxes due to the degree they got?

Fuck those people, right?

If you took out a loan, you pay it back. You. Not the taxpayers.

God, she's such a dolt. Like most Democrats, she thinks the court exists to further their agenda. That's not how it works.

The SC decides whether or not something is Constitutional. The Court is beholden to the Constitution, not any particular political party.

He should propose that those who took out student loans should pay them back. That is what really should happen.

He never claimed to be an absolutist. He never planned in allowing things like vioent threats, for example.

And he's right about those terms - they are used as slurs to shut down discussion. It's a quick and easy way to belittle someone and trivialize their argument.

Bad example. The cases where businesses could refuse service to a customer were due to religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Not liking Trump would not fall under that category. Not sure about the other example though.

In general though, I think this would be fine. As long as this business is not funded or supported by taxpayer money.

I think this is the only workable solution.

You may think it overused, but it's accurate. Access to education may be a human right (i.e. a person is free to seek out an education), but forcing someone else to pay for it is not.

They killed RIF and Apollo.

Also, they killed off edgy content like /r/imgoingtohellforthis. And censorship got out of control. Sadly, I expect the same will happen here. But I remain cautiously optimistic.

I think the PPP program was a mistake too. But since the government basically forced companies to shut down during the pandemic, it seems fitting it should pay for the damages it caused.

The government did not force student to take out student loans. You took out a loan, you pay it back, not the taxpayers. Also, the student loan program would also mostly benefit the wealthy.

Here’s a nice write up: https://reason.com/2022/08/26/no-ppp-doesnt-justify-bidens-student-loan-bailout/

Another good SCOTUS ruling.

What about the web designers civil rights? It doesn’t seem right to force someone to perform work that is at odds with their religious beliefs.

While I disagree with the web designer, the same-sex couple is free to find another developer.
