  • The United States is older than Italy. Italy wasn’t a unified nation until 1871. The United States became a country in 1776. And Italians did segregate into ethnic centers of cities in the United States. Chicago, New York, and St. Louis all have heavy italian presence within certain neighborhoods but even still lost their language. Italian dialects are not the same as regional accents. The nationalization of the italian language was still underway well into the 20th century. The Florentine dialect was only spoken by about 10% of the population in the 1870’s at most. It wasn’t until mass market radio and TV came along that it began to rapidly spread.




  • Yeah…no shit. We were promised PSLF and a fair income-driven repayment plan under Biden’s SAVE plan. In my situation that would have been $0 monthly payments for me and my wife over the course of our 10 years in public service as healthcare professionals. Essentially making our secondary education free for the exchange of being a net benefit to our community’s health and well-being.

    Instead, since the SAVE plan was put in forbearance and is now looking like it’s going to be dismantled, we’ll have lost about a year’s worth of PSLF eligible payments, our monthly payments are going from $0 to about $500/mo, and as of now there’s no buyback on the lost term. Mohela knew what it was getting into by servicing all PSLF borrower’s loans. They consolidate the loans and in turn the federal government guarantees payment in full for a majority of those borrowers. Thus, Mohela doesn’t have to litigate wage garnishment on delinquent accounts. The fucking rug pull here is illegal and I plan to litigate. The SAVE plan allowed me the financial flexibility to purchase a house with a 30 year mortgage and finance a used vehicle to reliably get to work so of course I took that opportunity. It’d be stupid NOT to. There’s a reason all these college-educated people are delinquent. I’m just fortunate that I was VERY careful not to overextend myself back in 2020 knowing another Republican presidential candidate may try to fuck me. I didn’t think it would be Trump again.







  • I read the Wikipedia article and it looks like the NTSB concluded that conversation and the subsequent “test” they did were inconclusive as the root cause of the engine failure. That specific engine had numerous problems reported prior to the flight and had been taken off and replaced before having even more reported after. It seems to be just coincidental. What’s just as wild to me is that the passenger that was ejected from the plane was even wearing his seatbelt. Explosive decompression still said nuh uh and ripped him out the window.
