  1.  @leevy6753  Higher education based on objective qualifications is a right in every other developed country and quite a few developing ones. I will grant you that it involves a strong consensus about qualifications, which we do not have.

  2. What I would like is for the in-state tuition of the late, great public universities to be something a kid could pay by working all summer. Up until the 1980s, a minimum wage summer job covered a full year of in-state tuition and fees, and oftentimes books and supplies as well, at nearly all of the public universities. Work-study covered most of the rest. The kids who worked their own way through school were a different people. Nor do I want qualified kids to be held back by being shoved into community colleges. This almost always holds back the most talented. They belong on the campus of a real university, with doctoral students around to interact with from Day 1. They need that rush of enthusiasm and motivation. They shouldn't have to wait two more years. Enough of this waiting! That goes for unpaid summer "internships," too. Every internship should have, at minimum, a stipend equal to $15.00 per hour, 35-hour week. Anything else is bull****.

  4. She was the Press Secretary of a major presidential candidate. Small thing. /s Or didn't you know?

  5. You're misrepresenting what she said, just like that segment on fake tweets. Look at the big picture.

  6.  @Magnet423  Briahna Joy Gray is an AOC/"Squad" critic.

  7.  @John-tx1wk A tiny sliver of what she said. Among other things, she mentioned all the minorities shoved into fields like nursing, and told to get the most minimal education to qualify for their RN, rather than the degree that is now strongly preferred, and they could not get jobs that paid enough to shoulder the loan payments. This is ridiculous. Come ON.

  8.  @John-tx1wk  So, if I took you out of context, would everything you said stand up to scrutiny? If you don't want discussions, don't post. Even easier.

  9.  @TheFlyingFox14  Another issue: women are brutal to other women, but are never allowed to say so, to anybody. You can figure out the rest.

  10. So . . . The student debt moratorium expires closer to the election. Biden is a true genius.

  11.  @tok713  She's an expert because she did the work. But you prefer the liars who say what you like to hear. So, your stance is part of why we are where we are. Work isn't rewarded, and you know it.

  12.  @tok713  What do you think a law degree is? What do you think lawyers do? It is one of the great encyclopedic human sciences. How do you think she became the Press Secretary of Bernie Sanders? And do you think she stopped serious study after she got her degree? As for your background, maybe you do know a great deal about economics. More than one psychologist deeply versed in mathematics has won the Nobel Prize in economics. You may be well qualified. She is for sure.

  13.  @darlenemiller1550  The problem is, hard work hasn't made money in a long time. Is that what you think the new hyperrich are doing, working? Maybe the truth hurts too much to face it.

  14.  @vainezaiven6677  This is nonsense. Law is hard, and solid political analysis is rare. Gray is far better than a lot of people in media. She makes less money because her broadcasts are on a high level. That's the truth of the matter. She could never match Maddow or Ingraham in money.

  15.  @vainezaiven6677  Wait. Gray was the Press Secretary of a major presidential candidate. Or didn't you know that?

  16.  @vainezaiven6677  She worked in a law firm, then in journalism, then for Sanders. Now she has her own business. Most people want their own business.

  17.  @vainezaiven6677  Doesn't mean she doesn't know about economics.

  18. Perfect guest here.
