Just following up ....

Tonight, just some follow-ups on some of the stuff I talked about earlier this week: 

More on conspiracy theories and rage farming:

Unbelievable. Do conspiracy theories cluster? Um, yep.

Don't forget the wind turbines that kill everything that flies and the poor kids mining cobalt for solar panel production in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I don’t think we should underestimate just how many seemingly smart and decent people have gone down this rabbit hole. I’m legit concerned. The issue is you can’t dispute their views. There’s no reasoning. They’re lost. /2

Again, “Everyone is entitled to their opinion” means you can’t tell someone they’re wrong for liking rocky road over Neapolitan. It doesn’t mean you can wrap bigotry, ignorance or misinformation in the veneer of an “opinion” and expect others to give it respect or consideration.

For a guy who says he’s all about freedom you sure do plan to ban, cancel and “not allow” people to do a lot of stuff.

Remember how Harper hired a bunch of Hitler Youth to shut up scientists? Sounds like Poilievre plans the same thing, except for all departments & all civil servants, in the name of "plain speaking".

Liberals: “we’re still working on everything Harper broke”

Conservatives: “OMG Harper was 7 years ago, talk about what’s happening now!”

Also conservatives: “Hey did you hear about Chrystia Freeland’s grandparents during WW II??!?”

Today's News: This you?

Its sorta hysterical, really. 

So yesterday Biden announced $10,000 student-loan forgiveness policies, which are a great thing that will help millions of people. 

And predictably, some Republicans went nuts about how irresponsible Biden was to just wipe out indebtedness with the stroke of a pen. 

And, also predictably, Twitter then started checking on whether any of those Republicans had also borrowed money and been forgiven for the loans. 

And, shore nuff, many had. They had  taken hundreds of thousands in Covid salary protection loans which were then also forgiven totally, including the interest. 

So "Republican" can now also be spelled h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e.

The last 24 hours of this app has just been people posting stuff like, "Let me get this straight: the urinal cleaners of my community owe hipsters $10,000 now?" and then a reply that says, "This you?" and it's a PPP loan receipt for their podcast Reassessing Franco.

The 10k is nice. But the repayment caps are huge game changers. 5% of income, 20 years of payments max.

Way to go Joe.

Wow. The White House just called out Marjorie Taylor Greene for having $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven. Biden tolerated MAGA for as long as any man could — but now he’s fed up with their lies and blatant hypocrisy. Thank you, White House, for putting Marjorie Greene in her place.

Actually its "freezing rain", but "this you?" must be a close second by now!

— Cathie from Canada 🇨🇦 😷🏳️‍🌈 (@CathieCanada) August 25, 2022

if you have a problem with the student loan cancellation because you already paid off your loans, just pretend its a tax cut for the rich that you also never got but mysteriously didn't complain about.
