this also seems like a slam dunk. She's basically calling for his arrest at 12:01, correct?

When I first came to Germany as an exchange student, my 88-year-old grandma decided she needed to learn how to use email to communicate with me. ❤ After a few weeks, she complained to my uncle that she had to keep her messages so short bc there was almost no space to write, and all my messages were being cut off by the Internetz. He went over and showed her how to use the scroll bar 🤣 But yeah, she was not a US senator. Also, I worked for a professor getting ready to retire. He had tried a computer once and decided it wasn't his cup of tea. So each morning I worked, I printed out every single email he had gotten and set them on his desk. He would write his reply below the email and put it on my desk for me to type up and reply 🤣🤣 He was super sweet, though, so I didn't mind being a glorified secretary. Anyway, those are my thoughts on olds and computers. I do not envy them having to learn such a life-changing technology at that stage. I interned at the Archdiocese of Chicago’s archives while in grad school and had to go to a required tech training. I was surrounded by 70/80 year old priests learning to use email for the first time. I was like is there a way to quiz out of this?? There was not.

Oh anecdotes about education and pay? My husband has a bachelors and makes a couple grand more than me and my law degree. Granted, this is because I chose the public sector. It does make me laugh though. I will probably eventually surpass him a bit but not by the dichotomy of if I had I chose the path of private medium/big firm life (shudder). Shit I am in a corporate consulting role for big law and with my law degree made $30,000 less than MH who while he had enough credits for 2 degrees never actually finished college. I just realized I am 10 years into my practice too and haven't broken 6 figures (by a lot) which most people assume because I have a law degree.

Neither me nor H has a degree but we both make very good livings because we ended up in sales. When I look at my life it's mainly a series of dumb decisions that ended with good results. It's why it drives me insane when people talk about personal responsibility, choices, etc. I didn't CHOOSE to get born white in a stable middle-class family but I did and that alone gave me huge advantages in life. The rest is mainly dumb luck. It's just so bizarre to me that people, white people really, attribute all their success to "hard work."

My ILs are good people but very bootstrappy. They don't realize that all the things that helped them "work hard and get ahead" (such as being able to work a part time job to pay for college, getting good pay after that allowed them to invest in a home that grew in value, etc.) simply don't exist in the same way anymore.

MH and I were just talking about this last night. Plus a lot of people in their generation had their first homes partially paid for by their parents. Student loans, the high cost of housing, and absurd healthcare expenditures really hurt in your 20's and 30's.

A guy I’m Facebook friends with (big Bernie supporter) posted on Facebook that the fact that the new stimulus is calling for $1400 instead of $2000 is a messaging disaster and will erode Democrat credibility, affect 2022 elections etc. Lots of agreement in the comments that people will be angry because they expected $2000.
It hadn’t occurred to me that they would call for an additional $2000, I always thought the message was that they were going to “correct” the $600 payments by making up the difference. Is this the disaster he’s saying it is?

Blippi is fine after you get used to him. It’s better than those YouTube kid stars that act like brats while playing with new toys. I keep banning those channels and they keep coming back....

My college was insanely inexpensive but a part-time job did not come close to covering tuition and living expenses. This was in the early 2000s, too, so it's been pretty impossible for a long while - and only gotten worse.

Is this the disaster he’s saying it is? If it's all anyone gets, yes. I think it's ridiculous. If they make these payments REGULAR, and present this as a correction to the $600, then I think it will be ok. Even $2600 after this long is just woefully short of what is needed.

I totally agree people need more help, the more the better! I just didn’t think this was a case of Biden promising $2000, then going back on it and only giving $1400 and causing a big scandal and a loss of credibility for the Dems.

I agree there should be regular 2k payments, but I don't personally think it's going to erode the message so far that 2022 is a lost cause. I find bernie bros need something to bitch about and wouldn't vote dem anyway.
And I think/deeply hope that the 2022 message will be not allowing those who would overthrow our democracy to retain/recapture power.

He's been calling the $600 a down payment for the 2k the whole time. He's supposed to have another stimulus deal sometime in February or March too, yes? I feel like I heard that there will be another round of money in spring.
