·2 years agoImagine Paul Hackett trying to get through the bouncer reciting Kafka at Club Berlin, but get this: he's very, very small . . .
they killed everyone so now they have nothing to do.
One of the best. Unrivaled breakup movie (although rivaled by Godard's Contempt, and Noe's Love)

·2 years agoSomeone forgot to drink their water today . . . .
I also wanted to speak to the general phenomenon that so much of the general health advice I see around is actually just weight loss advice
Really makes you think.

·2 years agoit's clearly less good than blanket forgiveness, but i don't understand how it could be ineffective at poverty reduction. anything under 30k, and the borrower will just never have to make payments and the debt eventually is forgiven. no interest accruing. this would allow kids the opportunity to go to college without worrying that they will become crushed by debt.
i'm seeing a ~20k difference between alabama and nyc for new/low experience teachers (w/ nyc making 50pct more (61 vs 42k), so miss me with those numbers lol-- someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this: i'm spending 6000/month on candles and a lux studio appartment on the upper east side.

is a progressive income tax means tested? (income based here means your payment is just a function of your income, not that only some income levels qualify jfc.) everyone here qualifies, everyone just pays a function of their discretionary income.
what's the average income of a teacher in nyc vs mobile?

everyone qualifies?

sure thing. i'm afraid i might get this wrong, but my sense is that unmarried couples are two separate households for tax or state administrative purposes, except for if one of you is claiming the other as a dependent (which i might infer from your initial question): in such a case, i believe that you are counted as a single household.

ah. very helpful and not as good. thanks.

Okay, so I believe this is how it works: Discretionary income is a function of the poverty threshold, and the poverty threshold is a function of household income and size.
The proposal will put the discretionary income threshold at 225% of the poverty threshold. If it's just the two of you, this results in discretionary income at anything over $44,370. So you would all would be paying 5pct of the difference between your net income and discretionary income. And if your net income is less than that $44,370 level, you pay nothing. And in any case no interest accrues, and loans are forgiven after 20 or 25 years of "payments" (no matter the principle).

i'll see if i can figure it, but here's the "fact sheet" in the meantime.

i'd be curious to read the prior policy and in what capacity trump/devos changed it.
- RonJeremyCorbyn [none/use name]to
could be, but i wouldn't be surprised if the political calculus doesn't result in a one way ratchet. (and, frankly, i'm not sure if borrowers' assent to a change in terms of their loan contract can be unilaterally undone by a future administration.)
Damn when will we get gates on hexbear?
