You have to realize, when you are getting a cat you are entering into voluntary serfdom.

She is the owner, you are the pet. YTA

Sallie Mae wasn’t even a thing until 1973. Literally not boomers LOL. Federal student loans were very uncommon back before the 90s even and applied to only a few different areas, not everything. It is incredibly clear that something happened in the early 2000s that caused the current fiasco, with both tuition and debt skyrocketing.

It’s not minimum wage’s fault, it’s the government guaranteeing student loans. Tuition skyrocketed since then and has been out of control since.

Then with so many people being told “You have to go to college so you don’t become a garbageman!” the requirements for most jobs increased as well. Manufacturing in pharma, for instance, I could take a kid out of middle school and teach him the job in an hour. Get fresh grads from college for a bachelor’s degree and they still need an hour of teaching. But now the Bachelors is required for some reason.

Ironically, garbage man pays pretty decent for some minimal manual labor.

I avoid MS Office like the plague. Absolutely hate it. Libre Office isn’t perfect, but at least it’s not MS Office.

I also like Libre’s Excel program much better than Microsoft’s. It doesn’t crash constantly, for starters.

Meh, 104 degrees feels like 117. It’s…bearable but not enjoyable. What I dislike is it still being 92 at 9pm.

Joke’s on you, in Texas you always need it

Well the billionaires weren’t in the process of breaking any laws at the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
