He didn't say that he was only holding the dam though.

He wants to hold the dam AND push the dam further back.

You want to let the dam go, let all the progress we've made roll back and then negotiate.
progress? lmao. black wealth hasnt increased in 70 years. what progress? you got a cookie for 70 years of loyalty. gays got their shit within a decade.

Same shit different day. How many threads exist with this same title? The only people that think like this are people with nothing to "lose". They believe that since their situation is shit & has been shit that any change will only benefit them in the long run.

It's flawed thinking & only reinforces my belief that they are completely broken. When you believe the best solution is to watch the world burn to ashes & rebuilt as some beautiful utopia, you are really lost & beyond saving.

I really feel sorry for those that think their situation is so hopeless & the suffering of others for their own "gain" is worth the sacrifice. Straight sad.

What did gays get? I'm asking because I want to make sure I'm responding properly.
examples: gay marriage, created Global Equity Fund to give them money for no longstanding history of deserving money, simply because they're gay, money to the HRC to promote advancement of queer ideas and policies, enforcement of protection against gays (avg jail time 71 months vs hate crime against race is 15 months)

These student-loan borrowers could qualify for up to $20,000 in debt cancellation through Biden's second attempt at relief​

Ayelet Sheffey 3 min read
  • The Education Department released new details on its second attempt at debt relief.
  • It's considering five groups of borrowers to be prioritized for relief, like those with balances greater than what they started with.
  • Some borrowers could get up to $20,000 in relief, per the proposed text.
President Joe Biden's next plan for getting student-loan forgiveness to borrowers is now more defined.
On Monday, the Education Department released updated regulatory text for its proposal to cancel student debt using the Higher Education Act of 1965. After the Supreme Court struck down Biden's first attempt at broad debt relief at the end of June, the Education Department immediately started its second attempt at relief using the HEA — a law that requires a series of negotiation sessions with stakeholders to help craft the final rule.
The department has so far held two negotiation sessions in October and November, and the final two-day session will occur on December 11 and 12. During those days, negotiators will discuss the department's proposed plan for relief. The latest iteration of the text plans to prioritize these five groups of borrowers:
  1. Borrowers on income-driven repayment plans who have balances that are greater than what they originally owed. The department proposes waiving up to $20,000 of that balance.
  2. Other borrowers who have balances greater than what they owed upon entering repayment. The department proposes waiving up to $10,000 for those borrowers.
  3. Borrowers whose loans entered repayment decades ago. The department proposes one-time relief 20 years after entering repayment for borrowers with undergraduate loans. All other borrowers who have been in repayment for 25 years would also be eligible for relief.
  4. Borrowers who are eligible for relief under income-driven repayment plans or targeted programs like Public Service Loan Forgiveness, but haven't applied.
  5. Borrowers who attended schools that left them with unaffordable debt compared to post-grad earnings.
"Student loans are supposed to be a bridge to a better life, not a life sentence of endless debt," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement. "This rulemaking process is about standing up for borrowers who've been failed by the country's broken student loan system and creating new regulations that will reduce the burden of student debt in this country."

This updated text slightly differs from the department's proposals at the November negotiation session in that it does not define certain hardships that would qualify borrowers for relief. During the November session, the negotiators spent time providing definitions of hardship qualifications, but the department said in its press release that the current text will not include that category.
However, "the Department will consider ways to pursue relief for this category of borrowers and has dedicated time to address this issue during the December session," the press release said.
Following the December session, the negotiating committee will determine if it reached consensus on each individual idea the department proposed. Following consensus, the department will start working on its draft rules before publishing it for public comment next year.
While this plan for relief is more narrow than Biden's first attempt, many borrowers experiencing different forms of hardship hope they'll qualify.
"I have to pay for my wife's car, plus food, plus utilities, plus the mortgage, plus the car payment," one 63-year-old borrower previously told Business Insider. "There's just too many payments and if I don't qualify for hardship, I just don't know what I'm going to do."

I mean GOT DAMN the nigga trying. That’s more than any other president SHIT!

I'm not familiar with the GEF. Do you have links for money given to the HRC? For sentencing are you referring to state or federal?

As far as gay marriage they have been trying to get that legalized since 1972. First state to grant it was 2004, then legal in all states 2015. So that decade is actually 43 years. Conservatives spent 49 years trying to overturn Roe.

This has already been determined to be nonsense. 1) Joe Biden wasn't president in 2018. 2) it was a loan repayment 3) The guy that tried to make this a big deal is being ridiculed as Comer Pyle for the past 2-3 days because of it.

Democrat or republican, this is a safety issue. 800% increase in Chinese nationals encountered at the border. No sane country would let millions of people including your enemies flood into your country.

And Dick Durbin says let them join the military and become U.S. citizens. Is this incompetence or on purpose? I wonder sometimes.

The most important thing is that we get homeless housed (Black people are homeless too) and make sure that we have enough necessary resources for all of the migrants seeking asylum to The City when these EVIL Republican governors ship them off.
