  1. I’m not sure why these people can’t pick themselves up by their bootstraps and stop sucking off the government’s teat.
  2. 4000+ deaths today. Seems like a lot, but I suspect a month from now we’ll be hoping it drops to 4000 a day.
  3. Christopher Alberts, 33 of Maryland. Mark Jefferson Leffingwell. Seditionists. Facing charges.
  4. I’m just glad it wasn’t a Congressional staffer or someone who was supposed to be in the building when I heard about a woman getting shot.
  5. Beytwicé (@lotoysrus) Tweeted: Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage? (can someone give me quick tutorial on embedding tweets here?)
  6. Alexander Marquardt (@MarquardtA) Tweeted: Some cavalry has arrived at the Capitol - Montgomery Country police in riot gear suiting up. (Not enough signal to post pics)
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys was arrested this afternoon in DC for burning the BLM flag from a church. He also had a ammunition in his car.
  10. They are definitely in Vegas. I think it’s it’s Denver and Vegas on the road.
  11. Such a superstar. We are so fortunate to have him. Can you imagine trading back and missing out on this guy?
  12. He’s been talking about a “no hat” rule this week. Meaning he doesn’t want the Football Team to win on his field and put on the division championship hats. It’s hokey, but I guess the guys who have been called up from the practice squad dig it.
  13. After the game. His contract is expiring, so technically they are not firing him. He said he’ll take a year off and contemplate retirement. Nobody was listening to his no hat rule and now he is sad.
  14. With Darnold, wouldn’t we have to decide whether or not to pick up his fifth year option before he plays for us? That would be a big gamble.
  15. Chase’s scoop and score reminded me a lot of Griffin’s run against the Vikings.
  16. Wasn’t it Cowherd the one that said John Wall can’t win because he doesn’t know his dad or something obscene like that? Anyway, scrolling through YouTube last night I came across a video of his take the day after the 2017 draft saying John Lynch was one of the biggest winners because they took Solomon Thomas instead of a QB because that draft had no NFL QBs.
