I did. His words are clear. Many people like well written longform. https://longreads.com/2023/12/21/best-of-2023-the-audience-awards/ https://medium.com/@deerwood/get-ready-to-settle-in-why-longreads-are-taking-over-the-internet-2b6fe5241e52 He probably doesn't have the time to write fewer words.

By "let's play this out," you could have provided a mature response, recognized why one might misread your intention, explained... and I would have apologized. I form the wrong assumptions all the time and will do it again.

One day I hope to change your profile photo from this To this

Let's play this out. What was your original intent behind sharing the post exactly as you did? Stating a nonbinary student was beaten and died without providing any context? When I posted the video of the deceased explaining their role in the fight, still healthy, and said 'trust the news,' why did you ask a trollish question, "whose narrative?" The answer was plain to determine. Why did you ask to find an unbiased source? What is a better source than the 'victims' own video/voice? Why use this incomplete story to make a point about violence against transgendered children?

Has the original poster acknowledged their mistake? OP consistently asks others if they will admit their errors. Some of us do admit when we're wrong.

Here is what one person says is taught in schools from the left.

Conservatives promote the idea that people should take ownership of their actions, decisions, and outcomes in life. It encourages personal initiative, accountability, and the cultivation of skills and competencies necessary for success. When people take responsibility for themselves and help out in their communities, everyone benefits and things get better for everyone. There are many forms of leftism and definitions of socialism. When USA citizens deflect their overall station in life due to reasons outside their own merit, they lose my respect. Deflection from personal responsibility makes my skin crawl. I wouldn't trust them in the trenches in any facet of critical life.

I can see why conservatives are considered cowards. They tolerate freedom of choice.

While dress codes exist for a reason (respect), this casual style is a great use of personal choice. It's not how they dress, its the stereotype of how people who dress this particular way behave.

Huh? I just listened to the actual source speak in a video. The same video posted for you to. I formed my understanding from there and held off 'trust the news' until seeing it. This doesn't change the violence narrative concern overall but this is not the story to hang one's hat on.

So after the fight, you can listen to the 'death by trauma' student speak. Hello?

How about now?

#TrustTheNews

Oof.

Why is there so much focus on the public sector when the majority of this isn't that?

Isn't the majority of loan forgiveness for people outside the public service loan forgiveness program?

How much of loan forgiveness relates to taking a job they would not have otherwise taken?

Thanks for the clarification. The Military SLRP is a funded and capped repayment program. I also support the GI bill as mentioned earlier. National security... The military is overinvested, but this incentive is not one.

I want to live in a country where people pay their dues regardless of merit. Consider this hypothetical: someone only pays a fraction of their massive loan over many years. What does that say about their responsibility and decision-making? Would you trust them to care for you? Extreme loan forgiveness only exacerbates the problem. It drives up education costs, feeding into bloated administrative structures and inflated salaries. Let supply and demand dictate prices. The market will adjust if there's a shortage of doctors in the mountains. Government intervention distorts the system and burdens taxpayers. Otherwise, who decides? I've personally trained about 50 new engineers, so should my house loan be paid off? I've paid month after month on house loans for 20 years. Without this burden and the responsibility to help with my children's education, I would start a business and create new jobs.

Here is my thought process about private companies repaying student loans for an employee. Compared to what (not repaying)? Turnover of talent. Stagnant education versus growth At what cost to whom? Higher expense and less profit to the company owner and shareholders. Colleagues are blocked for promotions, raises, bonuses, etc., when there is insufficient profit to reward merit. Managers struggling to build and retain talented teams. What hard evidence? <pass for now> Employee incentive is good unless it has negative consequences on peers. It is a hard sell for a company in-debt with no path to profit. I like the idea of employee incentives for any company, including government-owned companies. But I have so much more scrutiny on the government-owned company because I am funding it. Should the government company even exist? Is the government company providing more value than it costs? What is the impact on my well-being to support even more loan repayments? Did I have a say in it? (taxes, inflation, purchase power) Can the government afford it? Is it profitable, or is there a path to profit? Is it in debt? Is loan repayment super necessary? Was a budget approved and is the spend in budget?
