I dunno, it seems like there's a hardcore base of Boomers that are key to the whole mess too. Mostly burnouts from the old Days of Rage that still think they'll live to see the communist revolution they were promised in the 70s.

It’s not just burn outs either, these people are the middle and upper class on the coasts
 
Blumpf is right, Rand Paul talks shit constantly but has basically no legislative accomplishments as a lawmaker.

He's most well known for his political stunts like chainsawing the tax code in half or doing a long fillibuster than actually accomplishing anything.

He's the right wing Bernie Sanders.

I remember all the dick sucking Rand Paul got over the years. I'm glad now that there's a real conservative party, we get to see the mask drop off. It's sad because myself and so many people I know actually liked Rand but it's time to accept that these are all swamp creatures.

Rand Paul finds literally anything to not agree with Trump. Right now it’s eliminating the debt ceiling, but he will always find some retarded reason to vote no on something.

People abused bankruptcy to get out of paying for school. That's why things afte like this.

All you do is secure the loan against the degree and make it jointly and severably liable to the institution. Go bankrupt? No degree. And the institution is liable.

Right now, federally backed student loans are a way to subsidize universities who can jack up tuition arbitrarily since they aren't on the hook for it. Taxpayers and students foot the bill, universities bloat up, and then they demand research funds and cheap overseas labor too.

Honestly? Good. Only way to get rid of these fucks is for black people to realize what web duBois and booker t Washington figured out in 1900 with the talented tenth: if your ancestors were selected for farm equipment you arent gonna have a lot to work with.

You could build up to it but it needs a total cultural shift

DuBois was the one with the talented tenth idea. It is actually one of the main reasons we have these problems with black grift organizations today. The idea is that only the most talented 10% should interact with non-blacks while the rest simply follow the leaders. Booker T Washington was in the “Figure it out through hard work and grow.” camp. Just clearing that up.

This is why (archive)

In short: bullshit politics and scaring people about a disease that killed maybe 5000 a year, mostly intravenous drug users and gays already susceptible to it, and also children of already infected mothers (reasonable). Then to everyone out of a moral panic.

It's spread via sex and needles. Healthcare workers are at higher risk due to fluid exposure but for the normal person not born to an infected mother it's not at all a risk especially if you aren't a boomer having sex with anything that moves since you're in high school
