"He's simply being reasonable, good luck with that and this Congress.",
">\n\nYou are correct and for the Republicans their goal is clear they want to end United States Aid to Ukraine as payback for Donald Trump not being able to do it what he wanted dirt from the bidens by Blackmailing Zelensky then send the shipment",
">\n\nWell, that and the GOP gets a shit ton of money from Russian sources.",
">\n\nCorrect and also Russian intelligence agencies infiltrating the NRA. Direct path is the Manafort network",
">\n\nWhen did the 'party of Reagan' turn into such fucking pussies?\nThe US has spent last 80 years or so in mostly unjustified wars, and as soon as there is a \"good\" war where the lines between good and evil in a conflict is so clearly defined, where one party is the clear aggressor, bombs hospitals, civilians and infrastructure, rapes , pillages and tortures, commits forceful relocation (aka kidnapping) of entire populations and tries to erase an entire culture. These are warcrimes, and probably crimes against humanity as well, which should honestly disgust most people in the west. Especially the party that supposedly has 'good christian values', but instead they potentially want to abandon almost a century old doctrine of defending democracies and western values.\nOh, and Russia also attacked the US in 2016, and threaten your country with nuclear antihalation almost daily on their BS state-owned TV channels. I just can't even comprehend how some republicans have found common ground with these unhinged thugs.\nIts just disgraceful, but I guess Putin has paid off a lot of them on their Moscow christmas parties, and he is also a christian fascist (or, at least pretends to be religious) . They might also own Putin a bunch of favors after he helped them get elected, which Trump literally thanked him for on stage.\nEdit: This is also perhaps by far the most cost-effective way for the US to destroy one of their main geopolitical rivals. The aid given is very low compared to the annual US defense budget (think I read somewhere it was like 3% of that budget this year or something), and no US soldier is even sent into the war.",
">\n\n\nthe lines between good and evil is so clearly defined\n\nGood = neo-nazis",
">\n\nYou cannot be trying to insinuate Ukrainians being peaceful and being bombed and invaded are fucking neo-nazis. Tell me you aren't that braindead.",
">\n\nOh they are. The GOP’s tactic is to say that since Ukraine, an entire nation of people with a nation’s usual diversity of philosophies and political opinions, has members of their army who have shown themselves to have fascistic opinions, they should drop everything to root those elements out of their army instead of concentrating on the active invasion going on. And the fact that they haven’t stopped defending themselves from Russia long enough to do so must mean the entire nation is nazis.",
">\n\nWe can do our best to\n\n\nProtect a people and their territory next to our European Allies\n\n\nKeep a Democracy stable in the wake of increased Populism\n\n\nStrengthen alliances that can be leveraged to keep China and others from similar imperialist behavior\n\n\nWeaken Russia’s ability to spread misinformation and interfere in elections\n\n\nVersus….",
">\n\nAll of those are great reasons for the average American. \nFor the GOP\n\nPost war we are in a good position to have US contractors rebuiild, bringing billions of dollars or natural resources back home.\nWe potentially gain a NATO ally who will buy weapons and ammunitiion from our MIC to replace Soviet era shit.\nWe already gained two new ally nations that will add their support to NATO easing the burden for the rest. \nAs Ukraine rebuilds their oil and natural gas reserves, as well as their Nuclear power plants they will feed Europe until green energy production can take over. \nAll of the weapons we have been sending over are back stocks. Things we would have to pay to maintain, and or dispose of properly. They will be replaced by bleeding edge tech that will be built all over the US with exorbitant markups. Meaning kickbacks for politicians are a guarantee.",
">\n\nBut but...I can't be a member of the GOP and support a Democracy...",
">\n\nThe GQP doesn't give one flying fuck. They just want to own the libs.",
">\n\nLot of Putin loyalists in the House",
">\n\n“But I read on Facebook - in a post from someone who also hates people of color - that Ukraine is full of Nazis”\n— Mindless trump supporter",
">\n\nYet some on the Kremlin payroll will try",
">\n\nit's not a mistake though.... many of the GOP know full well it's best to keep aiding Ukraine.\nthey're intentionally ratfucking their constituents for a bribe (or whatever) from Putin. ratfucking the american people and worse to ukraine.",
">\n\nWell that is what the Maga/Kremlin backed caucus is hoping for.",
">\n\nProbably the order Putin gave them.",
">\n\nWhat an incredibly insightful and intelligent take.",
">\n\nThey can pay the Ukraine now or pay with Lives to Support Europe Later.",
">\n\nIncorrect. It would be the correct decision to stop aiding Ukraine. Another correct decision would be to fully withdraw from Europe and NATO.\nAs per usual, r/politics will defend neoliberals/neocons.",
">\n\nCould we maybe aid the US tax payer for once?",
">\n\nTrue but also completely wrong in the fact that if we have to go back there and it's World War III later on, things are going to be even worse at home.",
">\n\nThings are already bad at home. But let's spend more money on the 🪖 military.",
">\n\nSo do enlighten us. You want Russia to invade Europe like Hitler unchecked? How do you think that doesn't impact us in the future if we do that?",
">\n\nNo, I want our government to prioritize American citizens and solve problems at home instead of getting us involved in 30 different conflicts around the world.",
">\n\nThe thing is there's a difference and it's obvious.\nIn Ukraine, the US helping is like helping police that are shooting a mugger that stabbed a woman's family and is about to kill her.\nIn other conflicts the US is more just doing crazy mercenary shit for reasons that usually aren't that great, or even terrible.\nSo picking Ukraine as the example is just weird... it's the time we're doing something right.",
">\n\nJust like Iraq? Afghanistan? People said those were the right conflicts too and look how that ended up.",
">\n\nActually tons of people protested them in the US. I think Bush was one of the worst Presidents of all time. It's a shame Nancy Pelosi had the chance to do something about his war crimes in Congress, and didn't. Just a whole era of historical disaster for the US. \nHowever, it still has nothing to do with Ukraine if you look into that situation at all.\nAbsolutely nobody in the US told Putin to amass an army on the border of Ukraine and invade.",
">\n\nAnd a ton of people thought it was the right decision. It was the minority who was against it.",
">\n\nAs an anti-imperialist, I agree.",
">\n\nDemocrats covered up for ftx, got nearly 100 million dollars. Are you really arguing that we should not have very tight controls and auditing over the 11 figure donations we are making to Ukraine? We will support them, but if “political contributions” start coming in from recipients of those funds, the shit needs to hit the fan.

James Monroe
“It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and a usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their debasement and ruin.”
Samuel Adams
”No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffus’d and Virtue is preserv’d. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauch’d in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”
Thomas Paine
“Reason and Ignorance, the opposites of each other, influence the great bulk of mankind. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in a country, the machinery of Government goes easily on. Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.”
James Madison
“A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” | [

I finally caught it and the flu. I’m boosted from a bit ago but it fucking sucked. Not sure if it was COVID or the flu that fucked me. After testing positive for both the doctor just wished me the best of luck and continue to take OTC meds. Fever was ~103 and I haven’t had a fever that high since I was a kid.
Half my team in the last two weeks has had it. People are dropping like flies. | [

some excerpts of interest:
“The challenge we have is there’s no clear roadmap to say where we’re at,” Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said of the pandemic’s trajectory. “We just have to accept the uncertainty.”
....Yet the internal planning for the end stage of the crisis also amounts to an acknowledgment that the White House is more limited than ever in its ability to keep up the fight.
There is little federal funding left to fuel its vaccination campaign after Congress refused to allocate more money at the end of last year, and even less hope a GOP-led House will entertain future requests. State leaders who were once enthusiastic partners have dropped their Covid precautions and shifted their attention to other matters.
As for the broader population, officials said they recognize that much of America has moved on.
In an interview, White House Covid response coordinator Ashish Jha said his team is focused on more urgent priorities like tamping down the latest surge in Covid cases and safeguarding vulnerable Americans from the virus.
“There’s so much disinformation about these vaccines,” Jha said. “Unfortunately that disinformation is deadly, and we’re not just fighting a virus but fighting people who are actively trying to leave people vulnerable to the virus.”
The rising caseloads have also added to the sense of urgency behind developing a long-term blueprint for a coronavirus response that can outlive the White House Covid team — and likely the Biden presidency.
Yet despite that intensifying planning, health officials allowed that ending the public health emergency would only go so far toward closing this chapter of the pandemic. As the administration has been reminded several times before, the rest will be up to the virus.
“People’s memories are short as to how bad things actually were, and that’s a testament to the miracle of science with these vaccines,” said Krutika Kuppalli, an infectious disease physician and chair of the Infectious Diseases Society of America’s global health committee. “We need to think about what coming out of the acute phase of the pandemic is going to look like, but obviously we’re not out of it when we have over 100,000 new infections a day.” | [

I have yet to figure out why they don’t try and reduce the interest rate and late fees. That’s what kills people. You see people all the time saying I borrowed $20k for college and now it’s $65k. Reduce the interest rate to 1-2% and abolish all late fees. | [] |

Interest rate is set by Congress each year based on treasury yields - it's established law. The executive can't change it.
Interest rates on federal student loans are set by federal law, not the U.S. Department of Education.
There have been several pieces of legislation introduced to lower or even remove interest rates, but Congress doesn't have the majorities to pass them.
Needs the House and Senate, and 60 votes in the Senate until there is filibuster reform.
So, like many problems in the student debt crisis, we need large majorities of higher-education-friendly representatives for progress. | [

My uncle, a staunch conservative, was convinced that an NSF grant/scholarship I received to finish my Bachelor's Degree meant that the government was going to dictate what the results of my undergraduate research were. (My undergraduate research at a small liberal arts college was a great for learning how to do science, but not nearly important enough for anyone to even consider faking results one way or another.) He also told me that I was being brainwashed just for attending college. This was around 10 years ago, and the man had been a grade school teacher for decades. SMH. | [
