The Washington Nationals Thread: The Future is Near!
Ball Security replied to Riggo#44's topic in The Tailgate
There’s no ideal two hitter on this team. Not that great OBP. I’d be tempted to try a lineup like this: Turner 6 Soto 9 Castro 4 Bell 3 Schwarber 7 Robles 8 Keiboom 5 Gomes 2 Id be surprised if they are in on Reamulto at this point. A lot of boom or bust in this lineup. -

Guess we’ll definitely see Soto move to RF. -
BBC: China pneumonia outbreak: COVID-19 Global Pandemic
Ball Security replied to China's topic in The Tailgate
4000+ deaths today. Seems like a lot, but I suspect a month from now we’ll be hoping it drops to 4000 a day. -
Help! Defaulted Student Loans (and other debt fun)
Ball Security replied to Rdskn4Lyf21's topic in The Tailgate
I did my program at night while working full time, so maybe the amount they would allow me to borrow outside of tuition was limited to cost of living. But since I had income, it seemed like too much. Just like any policy, the framing of it matters and I think politicians and media do a really poor job of it. When I talk to people about student loans I get answers like “it’s not fair, I saved for and paid for college.” Or “I’ve already paid my loans back, it’s not fair.” And those are totally understandable feelings. But student loan relief benefits the economy and society as a whole, not just borrowers. Though the solution is more complicated than wiping out debt.- 464 replies

I think any policy around student loan relief should focus on curbing the rising cost of education, increasing access to underserved populations, and funding vocational outlets. It’s complicated, and I’m not smart enough to articulate the details, but it goes beyond loan forgiveness. In your suggestion, there would need to be caps on how much you can borrow and what that money can go to. When I went to grad school earlier this century I could borrow so much money that was beyond the cost of tuition. It was unsubsidized so the interest rate was higher. If I could borrow that at 0-ish %, I would have taken out much more and put it in the market. I do think there’s a lot of pent up consumer demand that is not met because of student loans, and although I wouldn’t benefit directly, it’s hard to see how loan relief wouldn’t benefit the economy as a whole.- 464 replies
