There's a lot of predatory practices out there but that's why you hope the gov't puts in regulations to minimize some of it, not directly engage in it.

I can't give a pass on it just because predatory practices are done elsewhere legally.

I certainly do think people need to do a better job educating themselves before they take part in what is just gambling but I know from experience it's just not the case. While you can't hand hold everyone you can hold your gov'ts representatives to a higher standard.

I also think people should get in the practice of criticising their own party. We appear to be in some state where it's just side vs side rather than this action is good, this is bad, they do more actions or have more stances I agree with than the other guy though so I'm with this party rather than 100% die hard nothing can be done wrong in my party.

Canada doe instance. The liberals have done things I agree with that the Conservatives would never have but the liberals have tilted so far offside on do many issues that I'd now vote conservative but I'd have little issue going between parties depending on stances since it's ever changing. No die harding a single party.

There's just times when you have to call a spade a spade imo. Hell with party alighnment and those coins were some bullshit.

Lmk when he signs an order to remove dei from schools.

Im readung a lot of poor schmucks spent thousands of dollars to attend the inauguration only to be left out in the cold

He can't. All he can do is remove federal funding guidelines that enforce DEI in schools if those schools wish to receive federal funding.

And frankly, that's stupid. The school systems are STATE systems, not federal. The Federal Department of Education spends something like $100b a year, and 70% of that is on Student Loans. Thanks to the predatory nature of those loans, the DOE brings in OVER $100B in loan repayments per year. The 30% remainder in spending is split between scholarships and low level funding. The idea that the DOE should have ANY say in STATE education systems is bogus, and using low level, drop in the bucket funding to sway policy is bullshit. All said and done, between state/local funding and private funding, public schools are funded to the tune of $3T/year.

The best thing Trump could do is dissolve the DOE, send the loan portion to the Department of Treasury where it belongs, and stop trying to usurp the rights of the States.
