The intentionally loud car thing is inexplicable to me, and extremely annoying. Never, not once, has a woman heard that as an aphrodisiac

Mitch Daniels tried to get income-share agreements off the ground at Purdue, but because of competition from subsidized loans they were relegated to the riskiest situations. That, a thin market, hostility from the usual quarters, and maybe inexperienced management eventually sank the effort. naptownnumbers.substack.com/p/rip-back-a-b…

It's a hard problem. Can we really STOP people from spending too much money on fake degrees from bad colleges? Lots of people go through this, and succeed. But Carl has a point: the job of college "finance counsellors" is to get you to sign. They are not your friends.
Carl@HistoryBoomer

My initial reaction was a snort of derision, but after reading, I was more ambivalent. "Amanda Lynn Tully spent her teenage years as a ward of the State of Colorado" Not an easy life. People shouldn't take these loans, but colleges making money off them are basically scammers.

Looks like Black men are the highest percentage - 17% of deaths, 6% of citizens (283%). Then white men - 76%, from about 37% of citizens as a by-year average during this period (205%). Far lower rates from everyone else, although Natives look about proportional..
Because We Live Here 🇺🇸@BWLH_

It's disgusting. Air Force Pilots are 95% White. Special Forces are 95% White. White males have represented a shockingly high disproportionate amount of deaths in the post-9/11 GWOT US military.

@HicksCBER It adopted a classic mixed economy with capitalist and socialist elements.

In 2025, the federal government spent $7.1 trillion overall, of which only $2.6 trillion went to broad public goods such as national defense and transportation (as well as interest on the debt). The remaining $4.4 trillion was attributable to benefits for individuals

Gus Grissom, Purdue grad and the first astronaut to fly in space twice, was born in Mitchell, Indiana 100 years ago today. Here he is with his fellow Mercury 7 astronauts, in the center, below:

@CaliRN619 This Boomer has tried to make the same arguments to Millennials, with similarly indifferent results.

My Boomer Auntie, who is a very loving and kind hearted person is a Democrat that hates Trump and MAGA with a passion and attended a recent #NoKings rally. To her, loving people means letting illegals stay, increasing food stamps/welfare, giving tax dollars to poor countries, and taxing the “rich” to fund all programs. When I try to explain to her how her ideals actually hurt people, she dismisses it as right wing propaganda. No amount of evidence or reasoning will persuade her to consider any other viewpoint. I’m convinced there was some sort of brainwashing drug that was administered to Boomers and activated during COVID. Either that or there was something seriously wrong with their LSD supply.

In short, my in-laws are far too kind for this world, and I honestly don’t know how to show them our gratitude. Bonus: they bought the newspaper from the day my son was born, because they knew that’s what my father had done when I was born.

My in-laws came to take care of the kids (10 and 3 years old) for 5 days while we were at the hospital. They’re 71 and 79, and they live 50 km from us. We had cleaned the house, done the shopping, and prepared everything they needed (linens, etc). Normal. 1/

Congratulations. Although I had long recognized the popular misuse of the term “capitalism” and to a degree I therefore liked that episode because it said what I’d always thought, I hadn’t really reflected much upon your points about time translation and the benefits that equity can have over debt financing. And now that your win has reminded me I think I’ll listen to it again on my next hike.

Too bad solar isn’t a real power source.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@JessePeltan There is more than enough surface area in Japan to power the entire country with solar without infringing on farming or destroying forests

Two problems. First, to get that federal money we had to use it on things that are worth less than they cost; removing street lanes costs money, for instance, but it's detrimental, not beneficial. Second, even if we consider the local-tax component only, the @IndyGoBus expansion we've undergone to get those federal grants has caused the cost of providing an average bus ride to skyrocket.

When a system used by less than 2% of commuters commands funding comparable to a quarter of what we spend on the entire city, taxpayers are right to ask whether we’re getting our money’s worth.
