no, most of these ideas are about as stupid as buying a Palm Pilot in the 90's and spending an hour a day inputting data into it to save an hour organizing your day. or they try to copy some existing business model under some cool hype and don't deliver

the 90's had eyeballs. tens of millions of them.

something like 10 years ago i would joke that we should block all traffic at work from china and eastern europe. doesn't take a genius to do that

except that homes and cars are hard assets the banks can sell to mitigate the losses or rent out for income to lessen losses. student loans are not.

if you let people discharge their loans then a lot of lenders won't loan out as much money and we go back to the old way where you have to work full time to pay for school. which is how a lot of people who went 30-40 years ago paid for it. working full time, ROTC or GI Bill/Army College Fund.

i want to see some whiny millenials whine about having to join the army to pay for school

he writes for the NY Times, lives in the same town where Tony Soprano lived in a home most likely worth over $1 million, sends his kids to some of the best public schools in the USA and doesn't want to pay back the loans that paid for the education that got him here.

i might have to restructure my loans with my wife and do the same thing and let you suckers pay them off

i grew up before we had cable and the extra channels were awesome at first. but with so much crap now in the basic tier including ESPN which a lot of sports fans don't even watch the prices too high. and lately everyone is adding a sports news channel or some other me too channel to the basic tier and asking for more money.

they have the extra streaming add ons for a lot of channels but they limit the episodes to a few at a time and it's a crazy system where you have to have the right TV provider.

Google Fiber TV is the same price

of those

terabytes of data in my pocket

like i can with IOS? i can have music playing via some app and run a nav app and the music will cut out for the voice to remind me of the next turn

galaxy note 3 i can't listen to pandora or spotify or google music through the USB port in the car

not as much as billions of $$$$ of some new drug that may or may not work and by the time the lawsuits come you are rich and retired

give me all of your money!
OK, here is a job counting it

nope, my kids love it

gas taxes are for state highways. county and local roads are paid for by property taxes

tolls need infrastructure which costs money to run

just like kids listening to U2 and "alternative music" in the 80's and 90's. oldest marketing trick in the book. sell something to millions of people by making it seem you are unique and special and part of a small select group buying that product
