  1. Pages of argument and this is all it is. It’s like y’all have never been around groups of women
  2. I’ll let you know how it goes
  3. Not the McMahon I was hoping for
  4. I don’t understand your point. I was clarifying that there is not a hard $50,000 per year cap on financing grad school. I’m not making an argument that this is as good or better than what we had before just that you can still finance 100% of your graduate or professional school costs
  5. My oldest is a rising senior and looking at law schools, so I have looked into this a bit.my understanding is the cap is on federal student loans. You can borrow the remainder of the cost of tuition, books, and living expenses (I’m assuming that is calculated by the school) using private student loans. They can actually have lower interest rates than federal loans if you are willing to cosign and have good credit, or if the student has established credit worthiness. It definitely sucks, but in my opinion in the Pell grant changesucks worse.
  6. We learned this with Rita
  7. I’d like to think Cornyn is going to go scorched earth on this stupid fuck leading up to the primary, but he’s a big pussy so I expect he won’t
  8. That’s on an 84 month note. And the metal roof was financed for 10 years
  9. Would these have helped in this case? Honestly how much time before the wall of water was on top of them would the warning have come?
  10. I don’t care who it is I’m saying what he’s said so far my daughter who knows what’s going on as firsthand as one could without being there is corroborating.
  11. Most of what he has posted my daughter is getting from first person texts and screenshots from friends who have relatives there. Homesick horn says there are helicopters in the air. My daughter is part of a group mobilizing to go help with cleanup early next week. Not sure what to tell you.
  12. Same thing my daughter is saying
  13. Definitely have the mindset. I had a partner that was collecting 110k a month and when Rita hit he had to take a bridge loan to cover his personal nut for 4 months. 2 ex wives, a couple grown kids, new wife 30 years younger and toddler will do that I guess lol oh and the single engine turbo prop and 40 foot offshore fishing boat don’t help interesting what you say about other people’s kids. We are in a neighborhood that is solidly upper middle class. when we moved in, a lot of older parents who had kids late. Mostly great peer group in the local elementary whose parents we liked but the kids from a couple other feeder schools when they hit MS and HS holy shit. Now million dollar houses are tear downs, monstrosities are going up as spec houses for 3.5-4.5M and selling. Neighborhood is full of middle schoolers riding wheelies down the street on electric dirt bikes or careening around on golf carts get off my lawn
  14. My mom worked a full time job and did apartment make ready work on the side. Stepdad worked as much overtime at the refinery as he could get and did plumbing on the side. Had a master plumbers license but dropped out of school in 10th grade. Mom didn’t finish 9th. Lot of high interest debt on CC rent to own furniture and appliances and cars that were upside down as soon as you drove them off the lot. Got a good work ethic from them and a lot of what not to do lol And caught some breaks along the way of course, and was in school when the state still paid enough of a chunk to tuition that a part time job could cover most of it, especially if you didn’t buy the textbooks 😉 I still would not describe you or me as working class at this point
