Is it possible for a human being to attain lasting happiness (without drugs)? in c/[email protected]

‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags (apple.news)
 

I can’t say I blame them for feeling betrayed but Islam like the majority of the Christianity leans to the conservative side socially when it comes to sexuality and gender identity.

Senate Republicans introduce plan to tackle student loan debt in c/[email protected]

Sounds good on the face of it but really doesn’t address the mountain of debt most people are in currently. Agreed that schools and deceptive lending practices need to be reigned in, but let’s be real here, this doesn’t really address the root cause of the problem which is runaway costs. As long as people are willing to take the loans out the schools will continue to charge what they want. From what I read it’s just kicking the can down the road and putting the onus on a young student coming out of high school to make the right decision.
