State of Texas employee.  I pay into SS and expect to receive it along with my pension (based on my recent, panicked research).

Not terribly unlike you, I am not thrilled with another Biden administration.  But I don't want another Marmalard administration with the Hitler Youth.  And so I'm voting for Robert Hoover (aka Joe Biden) for President of Delta House.  Sure, he's the lamest guy on the Row, but he's a known quantity, supports the Jewish House, and doesn't fall asleep at important legal proceedings like the IFC or State Court.

Ooh ooh
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief

(Workin')
At the car wash
Workin' at the car wash, girl
Come on and sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with the feelin' y'all
(Car wash, girl)

But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

40 years of trickle down being the main economic policy of the GQP and we have one super small example of it maybe kind of working.  Yay?

Oh look anyone who’s on a SAVE plan for loan forgiveness is getting their payments cut in half.

The Saving on a Valuable Education planis the newest income-driven repayment plan available to federal student loan borrowers, and this summer it's getting even more affordable.

Currently, monthly payments on the SAVE plan are calculated as 10% of borrowers' discretionary income. That's the difference between your adjusted gross income and 225% of the federal poverty line, which is $33,885 a year for individuals in 2024, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. 

But in July, the payments will drop to 5% of discretionary income for borrowers with undergraduate debt currently on the SAVE Plan, an Education Department spokesperson confirmed to CNBC Make It. The change will begin with their first payment due date in July.

To be fair, that guy probably shows up in everyone's twitter feed nowadays. Difference is Prong Horn's brain rot is so advanced that he agrees with it and reposts it here.

You’d need to be an Olympic long jumper to bridge the gap between how well the public thinks the economy is doing and how well the economy is actually doing, according to a new Harris poll published yesterday by the Guardian.

Among the 2,000+ participants in the survey:

56% think the US is currently experiencing a recession, and 55% believe the economy is shrinking. (GDP—a key measure of economic activity—is growing.)

72% believe inflation is going up. (It’s more than halved from a 2022 peak of 9.1% and is hovering between 3% and 4%.)

49% think the current unemployment rate is at a 50-year high. (It’s near a 50-year low.)

49% believe the S&P 500 is on the decline. (It’s risen more than 12% this year, and Wall Street is raising its expectations for the index’s year-end performance. The Dow also just made record gains.)

Why is reality missing so many Americans?

Even though inflation is finally easing, the average cost of groceries, housing, and other consumer needs has soared over the past few years. About two-thirds of the Harris poll respondents agreed that “it’s difficult to be happy about positive economic news when I feel financially squeezed each month.”

...

Media coverage likely also shares the blame. Recent studies show that news coverage is becoming increasingly negative, especially regarding gas prices, a common harbinger of economic panic.

Here’s why that’s bad news for Joe Biden. 58% of the poll’s participants blame the current administration for what they see as a worsening economy. Convincing them otherwise will be a challenge, especially since more than 60% of people surveyed said they’re skeptical of economic news.

Oh, here is the link: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/22/poll-economy-recession-biden

OK, WHO HACKED BEARD IP'S ACCOUNT??!? 

I'm looking at you Brian Fantana and David Dennison.

Just so you know . . . back in the early 80's I was on the color guard at UT (ROTC students who carry the flag at games).  One of the events I sort of remember in my early onset Alzheimer, booze-addled brain is the 1981 Texas-OU game we won 34-13 (after being behind 13-0 at half, bless you Fred Akers). 

We carried the flag at a game at a basketball game at the Erwin Center one night and were told NOT to dip the other flags (USN, USMC, Texas . .  but not US) until the band started playing the Star Spangle Banner. Welp, I guess someone told the band not to begin playing until we dipped the flags. So what followed was the world's longest drum roll . . .  Eventually they started played, we dipped the flags and everyone lived.  But during all this some asshole in the crowd yelled 'C'mon!"

Watching that video with no sound on reminds me of a wedding rehearsal. All the groomsmen told to do one thing during rehearsal, the wedding planner making her rules, and then the priest decides to do his own thing day of and everyone looks dumb.
