As the U.S. government move forward with a bill that could see TikTok banned, journalist Jamie Feldman talks about how opening up on the app helped her come to terms with her $18,000 debt.
Tom Nichols reports that it's likely Trump will be given clearance to access highly confidential information with national security implications.
But as Nichols notes, all indicators are that Trump's in terrible financial shape as he faces more than half billion dollars in court judgments. And that kind of debt has always been "a bright-red light in the clearance process" for anyone else.
For any #creators who witnessed my #fiverr rant I need to make sure this is known
If you use the site I'm not shaming anyone for it, get paid we all need it
If you got degrees in your creative fields also no shame, this world conditions us for it
I was seeking a bachelor's for #MusicEd and didn't finish school because of #Poverty
I have known many artists and otherwise who are drowning in #debt even though they can work for the fancy coporate swines they're now slaves to the system
Somehow, I am not surprised. The crusades were actually about...wait for it...money and power for the church.
...People think the crusades were against Islam. It was mainly against other Christians to subordinate them to Rome. And in order to fight the Cathars in southern France, in order to fight the Germans who resisted paying tribute to Rome, in order to avoid paying the leading Christian church, the Eastern Orthodox Church of Constantinople. The popes hired warlords to come in, the Normans. And the church made a deal beginning around 1050. First of all, in southern Italy and Sicily, a deal that we will recognize Robert Guisgard as the king if you pledge fealty to become a Roman vassal state. We’ll make sure that the population supports you, but you have to kill all the Christians & the real Christians who were loyal to Constantinople & you have to kill the Byzantine areas there...
"Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) announced a program on Monday that will cancel $2 billion in medical debt for Arizonans."
Hobbs: “Today, I am so proud to announce that we are taking steps to retire medical debt for up to an estimated 1 million Arizonans...That’s a fresh start, a new chapter and a huge weight taken off the shoulders for every single one of them.”
Remember this is England - suckers. They sold their water companies for £6Bn with no debt. They now have in excess of £60Bn in debt, serviced overseas which has the great bonus of making sure that profits are not even taxed in England.
And they think they are responsible adults who should control the other three nations of the UK?
@shonin Tagging #ClimateDiary as understanding specific vulnerabilities so important to how climate disasters are experienced very unevenly. #Debt a particularly important dimension to think about
Two banks have already declined our debt chances with them. Third will decline us too (they work with the same premise). I'll try second one again with different specs and if that doesnt work out, we will try the fourth, and last, option.
My surgery chances are becoming slimmer by the day, but I try to focus on surviving. I have to harden my heart and go on...I still have month and a half before my breaking point birthday.
