But in a piece titled “We’ve Had Six Years Left to Save the World for the Past 50 Years,” researcher Andrew Follett reminds everyone, “There’s a long track record of these kinds of predictions — and of their being flat-out wrong.”...

"This president persists in trying to provide student loan forgiveness even though the Supreme Court told him it was illegal. 

Just a ruling, he figures, and easily ignored, apparently. 

Bribing students with debt forgiveness is bad for our Democracy:

"At the briefing, we were told by their head of regional security that we could not contact suspects inside the store; we could not handcuff suspects in the store; and if we arrested someone, they wanted us to process them outside… behind the store… in the rain," the sheriff continued, adding earlier in his comment that he "can’t make this stuff up."...
