[01:29]	IsambardPrince	"Texas parents of child who died of measles urge others not to vaccinate"
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	WTF
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	The Texas parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who died from measles Feb. 26 told the anti-vaccine organization Childrens Health Defense this week that the experience did not convince them that vaccination against measles was necessary.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	She says they would still say Dont do the shots, an unidentified translator for the parents said. They think its not as bad as the media is making it out to be.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	The couple, members of a Mennonite community in Gaines County, spoke on camera in both English and Low German to CHD Executive Director Polly Tommey and CHD Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker.

[01:30]	IsambardPrince	It was her time on Earth, the translator said the parents told her. They believe shes better off where she is now.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	We would absolutely not take the MMR, the mother said in English, referring to the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination children typically receive before attending school. She said her stance on vaccination has not changed after her daughters death.

[02:15]	TR Bot	 Texas proposes law to stamp out the 'furries' problem exploding in the schools
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	"A Texas lawmaker has introduced a bill to ban "non-human behavior" in public schools, such as barking, meowing and other animal-like practices commonly used by furries.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or FURRIES Act, was proposed in the state's House last week by GOP Rep. Stan Gerdes.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	"No distractions. No theatrics. Just education," Gerdes wrote on X. "Texas schools are for educating kids, not indulging in radical trends. Let's keep the focus where it belongson preparing students for success in life."
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	Under the proposal, students would be prohibited from engaging in various animal behaviors, including using a litter box, licking themselves, making animal noises like barking, meowing, or hissing or otherwise pretending to be an animal."

[03:18]	TR Bot	 What Happens to Student Loans if the Education Dept. Closes? - The New York Times
[03:19]	IsambardPrince	The federal government backed over $1.6 trillion in student loans that are currently on the books.
[03:19]	IsambardPrince	A lot of that just goes bad or gets forgiven somehow, but then they viciously pursue others.
[03:19]	IsambardPrince	It's very chaotic and you can't go bankrupt on it.
[03:20]	IsambardPrince	The reason they give kids unlimited money with no obvious means of repaying it is that the government guarantees you will pay no matter what they have to do to you.
[03:22]	IsambardPrince	One of the reasons student loan debt is so high is because a lot of colleges know you can easily borrow so much, to study anything no matter how useless it is, and they can get all this past a kid along with outrageous tuition which is largely embezzled by the administration.

[04:34]	IsambardPrince	After The Post reported the inadvertent disclosure Wednesday, The White House rushed to mitigate the impact.

[07:12]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Trump can bust up the Department of Education, but like 80-some percent of what it does is mandated by law.
[07:12]	IsambardPrince	So it largely continues.
[07:13]	IsambardPrince	Congress really needs to reform the student loan program.
[07:13]	IsambardPrince	They need to narrow what you can study with a federally backed student loan, lower the interest rate, set GPA requirements for each round of loans, and make it possible to file bankruptcy under more circumstances that qualify as undue hardship.
[07:14]	IsambardPrince	That's what I would do.
[07:14]	IsambardPrince	They should also mandate standardized testing, which Illinois got rid of, to take on a federally backed loan.
[07:15]	IsambardPrince	I'd also make private loans fully bankruptable like any other loan.
[07:15]	IsambardPrince	The interest rate on those would be based on your credit, and how much you could get would be based on repayment ability.
[07:16]	IsambardPrince	Private lenders should face loan default risk.
[07:16]	IsambardPrince	Taxpayers shouldn't.

[20:52]		*IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@gbmveywuqt87k.irc) has joined #techrights
[20:52]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was fucking with a Fundamentalist Christian on Reddit.
[20:52]	IsambardPrince	"
[20:52]	IsambardPrince	You people have never had a coherent message
[20:52]	IsambardPrince	In that garbage Christian homeschooling crap it is anti-Marxism and then teaches children to be frugal and avoid Consumerism at all costs.
[20:52]	IsambardPrince	This sounds like Communism with extra steps.
[20:52]	IsambardPrince	If people did this the economy would fail, everyone would get fired, and you'll have revolutionary Communism really fast.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Since you're a bit thick, let me spell it out. You guys don't like consumerism. Fine. I don't like it either. We agree on something finally.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Try it, see what happens. I'm begging you.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	The US is not a nation of savers, but rather spenders.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	People spend so much that almost nobody has a positive net worth, financially I mean.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Being broke doesn't make someone a bad person, per se, it just means that they have incorrect financial priorities.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	On a personal level, you need savings to deal with unexpected events like job loss, the car breaking down, etc. without resorting to loans and credit cards, but on the other end lots of savings is bad for the macroeconomy because of everyone stops spending to build a cash buffer like half the economy goes away because you cut discretionary to the bone first, then you may even start cutting into bone to save money faster.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	That would mean making do with cheaper groceries, not going on vacation that year, skipping the movies, using that laptop until it's worn out and won't get updates and maybe a bit longer than that.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Half the economy is vulnerable if people choose to become savers. But for a personal level, being a saver is the only thing that makes sense. 
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Walking around like my right-wing family members do and having everyone in Indiana lined up to sue you while you're in Disney World again for the third time that year is a bad way to live.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Nobody I know who is Progressive lives like that.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	We know the value of money and that when you run out of money in this country, you live like hell.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Capitalism is brutal to people who lack the ability to spend if it becomes necessary, unfortunately right-wing people are too greedy and generally too lazy to earn, plan ahead, and commit to thrift.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	They want everything now and don't pay their bills, so they end up like my fundamentalist Christian mother who gets cheated on a bad car at 30% interest.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	These people have no understanding of money, or being good stewards of it, or their family, or anything really.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	The Fundamentalist Christian "education" also promotes Apartheid South Africa (which had collapsed years prior and nobody ever updated the books. Which was essentially a form of Nazism.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	The Reagan Administration vetoed the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act, but Congress overrode it into law anyway.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	Now, Trump and Elon Musk (whose family made their fortune in slavery in Apartheid South Africa) are repealing civil rights regulations from the 1960s and are trying to bring back Segregation.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	The Fundamentalist Christian "education" also informs students that women don't need human rights and their job is to be uneducated and pregnant, like ISIS or the Taliban impose on women.
[20:53]	IsambardPrince	These are ACE PACE and Alpha Omega LIFEPAC, btw. You can read about them online. I actually had to suffer through this and then get a GED because nobody recognizes a "homeschool diploma" issued by "yo momma"."
[20:56]	MinceR	lol

[21:00]	IsambardPrince	Brandon Lobsta, etc. accuse me of being a Nazi. I am not a Nazi. I would have sanctioned South Africa much worse than what Congress did in the law in the late 1980s. Reagan didn't do anything.
[21:01]	IsambardPrince	I would have come down on them like a ton of bricks, using things we're not even using on the Russians right now.
[21:01]	IsambardPrince	Including seizing all their State assets the US banking system has, and making it illegal for banks to do business with them, and putting sanctions on any country that offers them loans or weapons.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	The US had the ability to be truly nasty back then, you know. Much more than it does now. It could have basically walled off South Africa and more or less ruined the government there. Putting them into total isolation.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	I would have also threatened them with a Naval Quarantine to stop shipping.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	And if that didn't work, we'd start a military intervention.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	The US put a Naval Quarantine on Cuba and threatened to fire on any Soviet vessels unloading cargo there during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	I would have toppled that government in about a month or two probably.
[21:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Thatcher won the Falklands War pretty fast. Ultimately I think it was sort of pointless though.
[21:06]	IsambardPrince	They desperately felt the need to assert themselves because the last remnants of the British Empire were going away fast.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "I've been seeing a psychiatrist for years. My mother misuses the term "Narcissist" to describe me, as a form of "DARVO" (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), but a true Narcissist would never go to Psychiatrists and therapy because they think they need to work on some things. Having the presence of mind to admit you're flawed is strong evidence against the accusation."

[22:50]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, and that's what employers will tell you with one of those diplomas.
[22:50]	IsambardPrince	So you have to go get a GED.
