It honestly didn’t look good to me in 1999 when RIT was hitting 40k and i only had to pay half the cost. Can you imagine now? Absolutely nothing has been done to actually solve student loans, just a politicized and heavily obstructed attempt to relieve some debt. And now we’ve hiked the rates up to damn near double digits and said go get em kids! It’s like the 80s all over again except someone added two zeros to the price of everything.
The FTC estimates about 30 million people, or one in five American workers, from minimum wage earners to CEOs, are bound by noncompetes. It says the policy change could lead to increased wages totaling nearly $300 billion per year by encouraging people to swap jobs freely.
Isn’t there a pretty universal argument that you cannot prevent a person from earning an income? I’ve always thought that was the argument that gets these tossed in court. Then again i have zero experience with these and i didn’t know anyone who does so shrug
Ah got ya. I’ve been in long term contact work for years in pharma mfg/pkg and haven’t ever really bumped into anyone with any experience. Ty for the input.
This is where a firm hand in the locker room needs to come into play. I honestly don’t give a shit who it is, manager or captain or just Shaw snapping them with a wet towel. It’s clearly not there. And it’s breaking my heart.

I mean look at where the fuckin needle is on the “is this too much?” Criticism of a corrupt scotus judge with a white supremacist wife guilty of encouraging sedition is nasty, deporting college students for protests to an active warzone where your very own country is enabling/encouraging genocide is maybe a plausible way to curb protests/free speech.
I just worry that, as always, we the customers will bear brunt of this. Cheap EVs flooding the market is what American car companies deserve but if it’s all garbage wish . Com versions of Teslas then American consumers don’t deserve to have yet another disposable commodity forced on them. If the course of action follows we’ll have shit overpriced EVs and almost no real selection.
Laws don’t protect us. They bind us. Laws protect Tesla because money gives you all the advantages in the US legal system. Magnuson-Moss will almost surely cover this but again every single individual will have to fight to get it covered.
