American takes out a student loan for $8,645.
After years of payments, he’s paid $7,450.
His current balance? $8,750.
He pays $7,450 — and somehow owes MORE than the original loan.
This is usury, and it should be illegal
Americans show when they go to Chipotle, they steal everything that’s available to steal. Including the Tabasco hot sauces
This is why everything is being locked up in America
We don’t have to live like this
Environmental “STOP OIL” activist Greta Thunberg is angry at President Trump for stopping oil to Cuba.
She is demanding that President Trump allow oil imports to the communist Cuban government.
Regulations account for approximately $94,000 of the cost of a new home build — $30,000 is just “green energy” regulation.
The Trump Administration is taking down these regulations to drive down costs and open housing supply.
Many hotels serve a complimentary breakfast to their guests, it’s often setup in a cafeteria style room by the front desk. Many of these areas aren’t secured by keycard and that people off the streets could just walk in and eat and leave.
This woman and many others have figured that out and what they do is walk in during breakfast, eat and leave. Most of the time they are never even caught, the hotels always make too much for guests anyways and that the food is thrown out if not eaten.
The woman here is going to work and just stops at random hotels so that she can eat for free and leave for work. She claims it’s not stealing because the hotel advertised a free continental breakfast and that they are gonna throw it out anyways. So based on that should anyone just be able to walk in without being a paying guest, eat what we want and leave without any consequences, is it still theft if they throw it away anyway?
@it_unprofession Save your money and die. Pass it on to your kid. He'll buy the pool and enjoy it without you. Why are you saving your money? Make memories with your kid like Tommy's Dad.
My kid just asked why we don't have a pool.
I said because we don't need a pool.
He said "Tommy's house has a pool."
Tommy's house has a lot of things. Tommy's dad is a surgeon.
I'm not getting into a "my dad versus Tommy's dad" economic comparison with a 10-year-old.
I said pools are expensive to maintain and we wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost.
He said "but we could use it every day in summer."
We wouldn't. We'd use it for two weeks, get bored, and then it would sit there costing money.
I've seen this play out with our neighbors. They put in a $60K pool. Used it constantly for one summer. Now it just exists.
But I can't explain this to a kid who just wants to swim.
So I said "maybe someday" which is parent code for "no but I don't want to argue about it."
He seemed satisfied with that answer.
I'm not getting a pool.

My best friend had a bunch of cards that have been sitting in box for the last 20 years. Big collector when we were younger (late 30s now). He knows I’m into cards and brings a box over. Open the box and see this…..and currently have this card to (hopefully) go to the next stage of its timeline……
Before you take the time to comment “it’s fake”, I let Reddit take care of that already 😬. @CardPurchaser
