Now show the states where this happened, and compare gun laws. Normalize for population. I’m genuinely curious if states with tighter gun control have more shootings and no chance for a good guy with a gun to stop them because they themselves can’t get guns. To expand, look where good guy with gun did stop it and what state it was in.

As an industry insider, can tell you old oil and gas wells are being converted to geothermal where possible. There is lots of innovation in the works!

You all go ooo and aaaa then yell at oil companies for climate change.

This is true both ways.

Sounds like the guns weren’t in the schools. They were out. You’re implying that had they been in the school, we wouldn’t have had the same level of tragedy.

When did he try and congress blocked it?

I wonder which politician’s pocket that lands in, while they actually do nothing about lead pipes?

It was so nice of them that I paid those loans off too! They didn’t pay a cent. Also, I was upfront about my debt. She didn’t have to marry me. I’m grateful she did.

Well, thats perspective. Thanks! Beaters did die, more than once…wasnt a cake walk.

The context here started with college debt. I stuggle with the idea that a college graduate only find a minimum wage job. Or if they do, that that will be their wage the entire time they’re paying off debt. Am I being naïve?

Answered in other comment. I appreciate the question!

I graduated in 2011 from a state school in Minnesota. $90k in student loans. Private, parent plus, the works…first job out of school I averaged $50k on an hourly job, and only got up to about $65k by 2017. Got married with that debt, my wife had none. We both worked, my job and hers gave us combined income ~$75k. One bed apartment rent was $950 back then, we owned 2 cars, both beaters, no debt. Paid it all off in late 2019. No debt since then except a mortgage.

Maybe don’t go into debt to begin with? And yes, I did go into student debt, but I paid it off. How? Shit wage at a few horrible jobs. It can be done.

Well, Canadian costs change the equation, even for me. $10/month is significant compared to $2.50. Caches are community created. But no one would known they were there unless someone published the information. So the money goes to a team of developers working to maintain the app and website, and the API they share with other 3rd parties. They have an office in Seattle as well. They have office staff and a foyer that is maintained for geocachers to visit and earn the find of Geocaching HQ.

$30/yr? $2.50 a month? A hobby that gets you outdoors, exploring nature, exploring cities, learning the history and culture of an area, getting you to spend time with your kids in those same spaces if that’s applicable to you isn’t worth that?

“falling inflation” means prices are still rising…the rate of increase is what has decreased. What we need is negative inflation…or said differently, price decrease.
