Someone should publish the top colleges getting student loans repaid by ICE so everyone will see whose degrees are absolutely positively worthless.

The regime and it's priorities.

Russian Armed Forces agitation banner, promising a million of rubles as a singing bonus

It's an older ad, now the sums are even bigger, but russian teachers usually get from 30k to 50k monthly, while it promises 200k+, with pausing debt repayments, help with getting children into college and so on.

When I first met americans in person I was delighted to see we aren't that different in spite of all cold war propaganda. That similarity didn't end there, did it? As we share the same hights, we also share the same lows.

Gonna be a good month for sales at Ford or wherever idiots buy giant gender-affirming vehicles nowadays.

I used to live somewhere where every citizen got a check for over $1000 once a year because of reasons, and it really boomed the sales of the stupidest shit imaginable. Ads were everywhere “Use your check as a down payment! Get big truck! Get TV! Get jet ski!”

I used mine to go to Europe.

Tesla cybertrucks are going to be everywhere, with a few extra wheels in the back, just in case.

There are no civilized countries. Only civilized people.

It's sort of a good sign is it not?

They don't have any problems filling the teacher positions with mediocre pay. They do have problems filling the ICE positions.

But that entire system if incentives discourages doing good and is functionally a mechanism to reward evil pieces of shit for being pieces of shit across the whole economic system by giving them more planning power in the form of money.

In a sense, it is, but see my comment above - the state hasn't still met it's limit in what it can promise, so the hiring campaign continued for years.

I wish people would also remember, especially when it comes to Trump, that you can promise anything at all when you have no intentions of following through.

Ask all those former employees, contractors, and the cronies from the previous term how well Trump follows up on his promises.

well now you know where all that cut science funding goes to, Trump's very own gestapo
