thesystemisdown,

Iaranis, I’m not speaking to you directly. Instead, I want to expand on your eloquent and pleasant message.

It amazes me how quickly some are willing to accept age related generalizations and reject generalizations based on other criteria like race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I’ve been around long enough to understand that all of it is a weird control mechanism. I’ve known people nearing the end of their days that spent a lifetime advocating for all the right things. That should be enough for folks to understand that we are all immature, flawed, and prone to bias; while capable of fostering positive change.

Don’t marginalize anyone, young or old because of their age. We all get the same short life to try to live to its fullest.

thesystemisdown,

Half assed audiophile here. I only have two ears. I just want clean and balanced. Two channels is just fine.

thesystemisdown,

They will do whatever they think they can get away with or afford in the interest of maximizing profits. Many believe that it is their primary responsibility to the shareholder.

Among a long list of other things, he took action on day one of his presidency to pause student loan payments. There’s of course reason to be critical of him or any other president, but this isn’t it.

thesystemisdown,

Fair enough on the poorly phrased part, but Biden followed up with a $400 billion debt relief program in 2022. The Trump appointed Supreme Court blocked it. 2022 was not a presidential election year.

thesystemisdown,

By that logic, initiatives are always affected by an election year. An election of some variety is always around the corner.

The SCOTUS ruling didn’t happen until June, 2023. The president does not set the Supreme Court’s agenda.

thesystemisdown,

Remember that time a group of Republican politicians visited Moscow on July 4th?

thesystemisdown,

It would seem that I’m going to be driving old cars until I die. I also like manual instruments and gauges that make sense. I don’t need to watch Netflix rolling along at 70mph. Before anyone schools me on my carbon footprint, I get 37mpg and a tank lasts me about a month.
