I wrote about JD Vance and his new memoir, which is somehow worse than his earlier one: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

No one suggested that only misogyny was the issue and if you follow me, you’ve seen me complain about this behavior before along other lines

That’s not to say he wouldn’t be rude to Bernie but those of us who are women who’ve worked in finance have seen this language before and it’s rarely directly directed at our male colleagues

I doubt that. If Bernie was a famous expert on corporate bankruptcy (as Warren is) I don’t think he’d call him financially illiterate. Accusing women who are well known experts of not understanding their own field is sexism 101

The misogyny in this letter is appalling and if Bessent had ever sent something like this to a woman colleague in the private sector he’d have been sued for gender discrimination and fired. What an asshole

Nor can they anticipate what they might lose if they choose a more affordable school over an elite institution if they're capable of getting into both.

The thing is, the kids always have to take a guess and a risk unless they already have full scholarships. They can't realistic know what their job prospects will be afterwards, even if they choose to go into a high earning field. No amount of debt counseling can reverse that

And i think they're designed to punish lower income kids for rising above their station by going to college

Morally fucked up how the rich get rewarded for making themselves richer and the world worse. You took out student loans and are still paying them off? You're financially irresponsible. Nearly run a multibillion dollar company into the ground? Here's your hundreds of millions in severance.

This looks like a carjacking. I think any reasonable person would hit the gas.

are the wars in the room with us right now

tbf, I've decided they're not as bad as these things, which we also got a lot as kids

who hurt you lol

He makes a good point.

My man ended USAID, condemning millions to death

It is nuts that you can’t even ethnically cleanse a voter’s entire family without losing that vote to Dumocrats, must be terminal cases of TDS

Not gonna disagree 😂

And frankly I don’t have to engage with that kind of bad faith response. So I’m muting you. Goodbye

And your hubris (and possibly your sexism) leads you to believe you understand my argument better than I do
