And it is something that the cop put in their mobile app name, because the Starbucks POS system has a filter for slurs and swears and stuff like that -
Y'all are probably going to play Michigan in a bowl again, or at least that's the joke on r/cfb

Also of note, in beating Michigan, Ohio State has passed Michigan for the second place in all time winning % (behind Boise) Also the most petty of unsportsmanlike penalties I've ever seen was when they untied and removed JK Dobbins shoe in the pile. I love it. Like seriously what the fuck

We already have a means tested program--its called progressive tax rates and they work really well. There is a lot of room to cut costs in universities though. Why does each one need a police department? Why do we spend more on non teaching staff than teaching staff? Why do we continue to rely on employer provided health insurance, which includes universities? How can universities continue to raise tuition higher and higher? (Actually not an issue in Ohio where the board of regents cap the tuition increases quite low)

Imagine thinking that those with student loan debt aren't middle or working class, or come from middle or working class families. Seriously, who do you think has to take out student loans? The fact of the matter is student loan debt is a deliberate policy decision. The ballooning cost of higher education being brunt by those getting an education is a result of several deliberate policy decisions (unlimited loans, unfunded mandates, and decreased state spending on higher education being the primary drivers). The interest rate being paid by borrowers is set by legislation. The nondischargable nature of student loans in bankruptcy is also a deliberate policy. Capping the student loan interest deduction is a legislative choice. Having a byzantine regime of loan repayment servicing companies is a policy decision. Making loan forgiveness (for, say, public service) contingent on a broken administrative state is another decision. At an even bigger level, we've created an economy where in the medium to long term going to college pays off on average compared those with an associate's degree or less, no matter the bachelor's degree concentration (especially when you consider the drop in real incomes of these groups of those without higher education). In the short term, those with student debt delay or don't start businesses, buy homes, get married and have families, and have other goodies, like reduced wealth. This hurts the entire economy, and further advantages those who come from means and finish college with no debt. To say nothing of those who are unable to finish college for a myriad of reasons and end up worse than those who never went to college at all!
