    Agree, Definitely recommend having job lined up before any major change like that.

    High COL also means high income. You are expressing a sunk cost fallacy.

    Agreed, first pass the post voting ensures a biparty system, full stop. It’ll always be close, too many disparate groups of many sides that splinter, coalesce, engage/disengage to create the 2 parties. The Overton window can move however.

    In the US at least, the further right you go, the more strict the constitution and laws are interpreted

    This is a myth conservatives want you to believe. In reality, they use the constitution and laws to protect but not bind themselves, while at the same time to bind but not protect others. In the state of Virginia today access to pornographic sites without ID verification was made illegal by Republicans. This example or any of the BS Desantis has pulled recently in Florida shows when aligned with their goals there is no hesitation to pass anti-constitutional measures.

    In the case of student loans - public education helps the out group, so any justification (constitutional or otherwise) will be used to attack it.

    My understanding is that its just straight up not profitable plus network effect. Requires too many resources to run the service and only profitable if doing data harvesting from users in the way that google/etc do.

    That was part of ACA/Obamacare my dude, Trump had no role in it and had vowed to repeal it but failed. 2718(e) of the Public Health Service Act.

    I brought the sauce.

    What do you think the odds are this platform was put together with react?

    Edit: have a better informed opinion after reading this ariticle. Support every instance that doesn’t federate with them, shun those that do.

    Isn’t that just markdown? Eg wrapping with a star/asterisk italicizes. If you want to escape that you backslash.

    test in italics, made by wrapping with asterisks

    * = a backslash escaped asterisk
