Helping people with overwhelming student loan debt sounds nice until you look at where the money comes from. In order to help people who foolishly took out massive student loans to get useless degrees, the government is stealing money from those who paid off their student loans, worked hard so they had no student loans, or didn't go to college and are working hard at blue collar jobs. This is theft! This is slavery! This is wrong!

Instead of stealing from those who made wise decisions to help those who made foolish decisions, maybe we should start teaching kids to make better decisions regarding college. Not everyone is better off going to college. People should look at tuition costs and go to cheaper colleges if they go to college. People need to look at whether a major will actually help them to succeed in life (HINT: victomology degrees make you less likely to get a job because no employer, in their right mind, will hire someone who has learned to be a victim because it insures getting sued). People also need to look at tradeoffs. Maybe a person will get a higher wage if they go to college, but a person who choses to not go to college starts earning a living 4+ years earlier. They don't have the cost of college and they definitely don't have the interest on college loans. If you take what they earn over a lifetime and compare it to what a college grad makes over a lifetime minus the cost of college and college loans, the person, who skipped college, will frequently do better. Obviously it varies. A doctor/lawyer/engineer who picked a state college and worked to get scholarships is definitely going to be better off than a person who didn't go to college and never gets any skills and works at fast food and retail establishments. On the other hand, a person who gets on the job training as a plumber/electrician/welder is going to be much better off than a person who gets a victomology degree (women's studies, black studies, gender studies) and goes to an expensive private college and takes out large student loans.

We need to teach wise choices, not one size fits all solutions.

When I got married my wife had ~$60k in student loans for a degree that she’s never used.

We both worked low-mid paying farm jobs at the time but bought a camper, lived as lean as possible, and put every spare dollar towards paying those loans off. It took us 2 years but was liberating to be free from.

We lived in that camper basically rent free for 5 years until we saved enough to buy a fixer upper homestead, then we rented the camper out to friends. It has probably saved us $50-100k in rent and yielded more beyond that.

I also got a few college degrees but my state (georgia) actually paid all of it via the lottery.

If I had it to do over I probably would’ve learned a trade like electrical that I could always feed the family with or work anywhere in the world. Just my 2 Satoshis

Yep. Had to go visit the health department today for a meaningless piece of paper and pay them money. Such a waste.

They don’t even care about health

If anyone has been looking at the EMP shield for whole house Lightning or Surge Protection today is the day. Best Price I have seen yet. There is a 10% Independence day discount that will stack with my $50 off coupon code TOOLMAN to bring the price down from 389 to $305.10, free shipping in the USA as well.

10 posts in the last 7 hours from people I follow. I notice if I click on the search there is lots of recent posts but there appears to be a lot of spam. nostr:note1vlqy7ugkak8sndmhpf0u4ct92wmcdz27ugqkttc7p20mjwer4cpskd4eaw

Yea I agree with what some others have already said. Add more people to follow, but be selective.

Some people write a few notes a week and others 50/a day.

If someone is in that latter camp I’ll either unfollow or mute since I miss the others posting good stuff occasionally (someone will probably repost the best stuff those heavy users post anyways).

Go through the follow list of people you respect and you’ll probably find more people worth checking out.

Hope this helps in some way

“I think people get old when they stop thinking about the future.

If you want to find someone’s true age listen to them. If they talk about the past and all the things that happened and that they did, they’ve gotten old. If they think about their dreams and aspirations, what they’re still looking forward to- then they are young. Here’s to staying young even as we age”

The first part of this about parenting is also gold.

Well worth a 5 minute listen

Vapes = poison sticks.

If you're addicted to these things, this should be your absolute #1 priority to eliminate.

(And what better way to save money to stack more sats!?)

Glad I wasn’t a kid when these came out, definitely would have partook.

Also I really appreciate Mercola.

Dude has been censored so hard and put on the dirty dozen mis-info lists, yet he still gets mainstream people on his podcast somehow.

Should probably revisit that list to find other truthtellers lol

Do we know how much Nostr is bitcoiners talking to bitcoiners about bitcoin.

There is plenty of reasons to be pissed at Twitter right now but it casts a wide net.

Stacking Functions 2y ago

I’ve been on here a few months and today is the first day I’ve mentioned Bitcoin in a post. I guess it just depends on who you’re following?

The type of "discovery" Primal.net is heading for it important, the "global" feed is dog shit.

Not to mention once we 10X active accounts it will be unusable as a fire hose approach.

Wish there was a way to filter by language on global though.

I love that people from Japan and other countries are on but I have no idea what they’re saying lol

Waiting the 18 days for Cosmos/ATOM to unstake so I can convert to Bitcoin has been agonizing 😂

All the others were converted weeks ago.

As stated when I first announced the #Plebphone project I fully expect to lose money on this. I'm not in it to stack sats. I'm in it to put secure, privacy respecting, freedom assured phones in the hands of as many plebs as possible.

10% of each sale donated to GrapheneOS.

Every three months additional coin will be donated to Bitcoin and privacy aligned projects and causes.

If this gets big enough we can even start doing polls, make it democratic.

And I'm just getting started here.

The #petrodollar system feels like it’s one of the last pillars that will be taken out as #debasement continues. The real crime here is that a country can essentially print oil whilst doing no work. Imo the oil producing nations needs to realize that a scarce commodity should be traded for another scarce commodity. A #petrobitcoin system would potentially stabilize #volitility as well.

The failure of the petrodollar system will bring about competitors such as a PetroYuan, petroRuble, or peteoRiyal. I don’t see any way that the US will accept any of these alternatives. In which case, #barter would be another option but with barter being a pain to deal with the answer seems to be a secure, decentralized, non-debaseable, global, instantaneous money. #changemymind

Stacking Functions 2y ago

On a local level barter still works, but Bitcoin is great if the 2 parties can’t agree on a service/commodity that they want to exchange.

For global settlements Bitcoin definitely makes the most sense
