Court rules Sandy Hook families can sue gunmaker over rifle used in shooting

I don't think it will. The most extreme voices just rise to the top in world of social media, where everything gets retweeted/shared. I think all the 2020 candidates will eventually have the support of even the Bernie Bros. I know more moderates who didn't vote for Clinton (or Trump) b/c of their personal dislike, than I do liberals, but that's just anecdotal.
-
But that (worry about liberal bonafides) was always going to happen. It's just twitter-verse that brings it to the forefront, now that liberal isn't a dirty word. I think this goes on the right, but with far, far more inflammatory, hard-line rhetoric.

My question is does he endorse the policies that not only do I want, but also will help him win the White House. And I think we have a disagreement about how to 'win' the presidency. And years of moderate Dems being the candidate, and often a losing one, it's fair to ask if he's more of the same old establishment Dems...

I don't know how you determine who are the good actors that deserve a clean and who are the bad actors that don't. Should a person who choose to go to a really good expensive school be excluded from the debt forgiveness (or have only a small portion covered) because of their ambition/academic-excellence? That's crazy to me.
-
As I said up thread, this idea would only work if we are going to find another way to fund college. Forgiving the debt costs nothing, but the pool of federal dollars for more loans could no longer be replenished from that repayment.

A kid singing his name to a document is what makes you believe they should be held accountable, in spite of you implicitly acknowledging they don't understand the repercussions? Give me a break. I'm kind of marveled by your stance and attitude on this issue. Again, the kind of maturity you had to go debt free from college is a privilege that most of either didn't have that maturity or didn't have that option. You've got little ones now, are you going to make them pay their own way to teach them personal responsibility or does that just work for other people's kids?

Beto enters the race. Will Biden?
-
I really like Beto, but the criticism I'm seeing today is it's not clear where he actually is on a lot of policy issues, and many on the left are suggesting he just might be more of the same ala Kerry/Gore/Clinton. I'll start a thread.

This is the same kind of argument against raising the minimum wage coming from a person who already makes $15 an hour. It was never possible for me or my family to get me through undergrad debt free. I worked, I had scholarships, went to the cheapest state school, and I still needed loans. Maybe I should have lived at home with my parents, is your point. Sacrifices and privileges start to blur at some point. It's great that you and your wife were mature enough to realize the potential costs of having debt from college. MOST HUMANS ARE NOT THAT MATURE at 17 or 18; that kind of maturity itself is a privilege often one taught by good parents. I see no good lesson being brought to bear by teaching them personal responsibility for a loan they took out as easily as a candy. I just don't understand your desire to keep others saddled with debt because you choose the smarter path, you've derived a benefit from that for what the past 20 years? (In my day, we didn't have health care, we just died!!!) And next time I see some one say "personal responsibility," they better damn well be against limited liability; because we can't be holding the poor to their reckless education decisions and allowing the rich to make reckless business decisions and get off scotch free.

I think you have to dovetail this idea with eliminating student loan system altogether and have college paid for for qualified individuals (along with vocation schools etc.). Forgiving student loans wouldn't cost anything if we eliminate the federal loans altogether. I'm pretty sure student loan repayment goes back into the pool of money available for such student loans (but I could be misremebering).

They may face some liability for students who weren't admitted, especially those who may had their admittance withdrawn (such as an actual athlete who was set to make whatever team). The universities are the victims of the fraud (as BS as that might be), if they had known, they're might not be any fraud/crime here (beyond the bribes obviously). (It'd be like the donor giving a building in exchange for favorable admission; unseemly but not illegal).

It looks like cult-like motivation to me. Members of a cult aren't rationale about that membership or signing their children up for that cult.

Why stop cheating once you're in? These kids may not have been able to do well on SAT etc, but I imagine they can get enough "tutoring" to get the Cs to get the degree.

Fantasy or not, a very well-written, a seemingly sourced and researched piece on more than a few of our favorite prospects. -
I finished it; it was entertaining, but poor plotting, shallow characters, and an obvious surprise lead to think season 2 will be an unmitigated disaster.

Sunday Twins Game Notes: Jays Power Past Twins
PseudoSABR replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Adrianza contract isn't guaranteed, so he can be released with minimal financial impact. But as I understand it Torreyes does have an option. -
I like 4 and 5 more than most, it seems. I don't mind the depth of the LOOGY to speed up the game.

So I'm reading the Maryland's Court of Appeal's (their highest court iirc) decision reinstating Adnan Syed’s (of Serial fame) sentence and conviction, and I came across this gem of legal reasoning: https://www.courts.state.md.us/data/opinions/coa/2019/24a18.pdf

To the extent any kind of rhetoric can be construed as derogatory, it should be condemned. Nonetheless, I just don't see an antisemitic intent here, so I think we can condemn the rhetoric without necessarily condemning the person.
