General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 895

The death rate definitely won’t be as bad as it was back in April, but the amount of people getting it nationwide will be way higher so the amount of deaths we see are going to be awful I bet

 

The news about the Moderna vaccine being so highly effective and also stable at normal fridge temps for 30 days is really fucking awesome.

 

Huh, I know we've discussed the 90% effective Pfizer vaccine, but looks like a producer near me is creating 400 million doses of a 94.5% effective vaccine?

Lonza producing Moderna vaccine in Portsmouth, eyes 400 million doses

 

No idea what's taking NY so long. Most of NYC is still less than 75% in and my congressional race still hasn't been called because they're taking so long to count mail-ins (it shouldn't be particularly close when those are all in)

 

I'm gonna assume you're in Hagerstown and raise you one Allegany County. I pretty much gave up on mask enforcing at work :/

 

Honestly don't know what took me so long to do this

 

this, and also I have most right wing grifters including the president blocked

 

Bingo. This place is a nightmare. I feel your pain.

 

El Paso needs ventilators sir

 

UPMC is in maryland? I wonder if they meant Allegheny county, PA which is where UPMC is based out of

 

That's awesome, thanks for the head's up!! That'd definitely be ideal for a test drive.

My dad also let me know my grandfather is looking for someone to take the remainder of his lease on a 2019 Civic EX because my grandmother can no longer drive. Has all the premium features and only 5500 miles. Only downside is it's.. 1.5 years of a $300 payment, reduced to $275 when I buy it, and I'm not sure if I feel comfortable having such a high payment since federal student loans will stop being deferred. But.. with so few miles in a Civic, that thing will run forever

 

im jealous there wasnt an anti-racist dance theory class at my school sounds like it would have been fun

 

UPMC bought Western Maryland Health System recently so that's what they're referring to. Lots of MAGA nurses here, cool cognitive dissonance stuff!

 

I did a test drive of a Tesla Model X a couple weeks ago, and brought my friend with. They just let us take it ourselves without the Tesla guy coming along. It was the Model X Performance version, which has 778 HP, so it was pretty crazy they let us take it out without coming along, hahahaha.

 

If money was no issue and Elon musk didn’t exist id love to get an X lol

 

I’m thankful I got the two years of loans I had to take out was paid off 10 years ago but please, forgive everyone’s debt, I don’t care if I’m not someone who gets compensated for that

 

yea ive heard those teslas can haul ass big time which i didnt assume. i thought they were just supposed to be electric luxury cars or w/e. everyone i know that drives 1 which is 2 ppl is still coincidentally a douchebag tho.

 

Ben Shapiro probably didn’t even have student loans considering what a lying sack of shit he is lol

 

Student debt forgiveness would be a great way to fix the problem in the moment, but would this come along with some way to prevent it all from happening again? (Regulations for colleges?)

Or would this just be some sort of temporary relief thing given the state of the economy?

I'm here for it, regardless. Just very unfamiliar with the whole thing.

 

it will be just another part of the democrats radical marxist agenda of keeping everything the same

 

Not with executive action although hopefully they can do away with the high interest rates so it could be a little better going forward, but the bigger fix is probably going to have to be legislative I’m guessing. Either way a good analogy would be during the housing crisis bailout, wouldn’t it have been better to include a requirement that all the defaulted loans would be forgiven and those struggling homeowners would keep and own their home and that equity? It wouldn’t have fixed the lending practices, which are still not fully fixed all these years later, but it would have clearly been the right and equitable thing to do and those families and communities would be way better off today.
