I don't see how. He doesn't have the same grip on the party and thus Congress wouldn't let him get away with as much

Time is bad for you

Just to add to this. I've noticed some of my co workers who have developing English skills sound like LLMs sometimes. I imagine this is probably because they've only wrote English in a school or work setting and never for personal communication.

...or maybe they're all just using LLMs idk

Tbh a financial disaster might be the only thing to get republicans in Congress to impeach this guy. Major job losses and equity losses would make it super easy to save face and blame the guy in charge.

Not that I want that to happen, but it could be a silver lining if it did

That's just evil. Next they're going to look into your calendar to see if you're running late.

CBS NBC and FOX are still available without cable in most places if that's what you mean. Aka with an antenna.

Or you could use the internet for news

How funny would it be if that employee was on a different team and was torrenting for personal use and got caught up in this lol.

I actually kinda miss 2010 Facebook where everything being posted was actually from my friends. It was almost exciting to log on and see what was up.

Now I'm in a few group chats but those aren't quite as active unless some event is coming up for that group

Thank you, I really don't understand all the complaints on this thread. It's like everyone became really pro advertising lol. If I want an answer to a question(say what internal temp do I need to cook chicken too), then I can easily get it without scrolling through a bunch of ads and articles about cooking chicken.

I read this question and immediately started craving a diet coke lol

Right I feel like you're all missing my point, I probably didn't explain my thought process well.

The premise is that: giving out loans involves risk. To make the risk worth while, the lender needs more upside(higher rate). The more unknowns, the more risk, thus higher rates. My logic is that if lenders had more information then they would be better positioned to evaluate risk, thus borrowing could become less expensive for people that are less risky. This is due to competition between lenders for customers. On that, based on friends getting mortgages recently, it does actually feel like there is a decent amount of competition that space specifically.

I will admit that in one of the other threads someone linked to a study that proves this wrong for medical debt specifically.

Thanks for the link! Yeah it does seem like my understanding is incorrect here "CFPB’s research reveals that a medical bill on a person’s credit report is a poor predictor of whether they will repay a loan,"

My argument is a purely logic based one. Lenders make money by giving out loans, so it's against their interest to deny loans to people which are capable of repaying them.

So the finding is a bit surprising, but willing to admit I'm wrong here :)

 

Basically the title. I click a link and it takes forever to open. Doesn't matter the type of link. If I click a link multiple times then eventually N pages open all at once
