Student loans became preditory when the government took them over during Obama's time. After that the government sublet the loans out to a multitude of private companies. It was so bad that you didn't know who had your loan. Couldn't find it.
If you read nothing else read this:
The us government has written into it's budget the fines and fees from these student loans for 20 years. That means the government leans heavily on people just starting their lives and trying to make their lives better. It's written in the budget. They count on failure ie fines and fees. They made it difficult for people to pay. It's called predatory lending. And idk y this isn't WIDELY known or understood about student loans or the cost of education.
In reality and "doing the math", even the best education, in a good building, with good books and well educated well paid teachers would never cost 70k a year per student. It's an inflated price and there is no way to account for that expenditure. Where does it go?
And still every year the government say they can't pay their bills. and every year college costs increase.
This is 100% on the US government. They could set limits for the cost of education and raise standards but they don't. Why?

have you been to Pot au Feu in downtown providence? Lovely place. Last time I was there, long time ago, upstairs was formal and downstairs didn't require reservations. Don't know if they are still doing it that way. Very nice historic downtown area too.

Reply to Has anyone ever had a similar situation happen before at CVS? ( Wrong medication -wrong amount received) (twice in one day) by EconomySeaweed7693
I changed my pharmacy to walmart and will have nothing to do with cvs.
They adjust my meds, say they are out, claim shortages, charge double copays once online and once in the store, super disorganized and the pharmacist is just plain rude.
Had an excellent experience at walmart. Their prices can't be beat and neither can their access to the supply chain due to their volume.

my room is just above 60 degrees at night and I have a faux fur blanket that is impossible to be cold under. Sleep is amazing in the winter. I'd never put a/c down to 60 in the summer lol.

and believe it or not, some of us don't even have facebook accounts, so no news at all! I heard about it here tho. and don't blame the concern at all. This is something to be concerned about. There is no greater concern than children's safety.
