Who aligns with the uncaring patriarchy and stubbornly refuses to change?
“'Fundamentally broken.' That is how A. Wayne Johnson, the Trump administration official who resigned on October 24th, described the student debt system that he once led. Johnson also called for student loan forgiveness in a complete break from his former boss Betsey DeVos who ridiculed Democrats plans for doing just that."

It won't last beyond one lifetime, they said
The bad dream about the unhealthy 2000-teen working environment: "They rewarded me when I devalued women and their experiences and they also praised and put me on a pedestal for doing so. They gave me ways to pretend we were doing the opposite in order to feel good about doing it."
Better to explain later?
Why was being self-serving and horrible to women under the patriarchy the best you could do at that time?
Was it because there was a large impetus to do so due to lying and also perhaps there were some money reasons.

Adding a subhead
Narcissists 'horrible people but happy'
https://www.bbc.com/news/education-50184281
But did you miss the "horrible" part somehow.
Why this?
"When I left grad school in 2008, I owed $70k in federal student loans. (A poor choice I wouldn’t make again.) For the past 11 years, I’ve been making payments (except for a period of under employment), totaling about $60,000 in payments. Guess how much I still owe. $70,000."

Why?
"If this was happening in another country, we would be sending humanitarian aid, we would be talking about sanctions until the administration made changes, but it's not another country, it's here, it's us, and we do nothing, this makes me sick, that this is my country"

Reading about "two 14-year-olds"
"...who fled Afghanistan in search of a better future. The boisterous pair, who became firm friends after meeting in a makeshift migrant camp two months ago, already have a lifetime of experience between them.
Since leaving home last year, they have traversed six countries by foot, bus and boat – Iran, Turkey, Greece, North Macedonia, Serbia and now Bosnia. They dream of getting to the bright lights of Germany, France or Britain.
'My father died fighting the Taliban and I was living in fear,' says Raaz, hugging himself to stay warm in the cold. 'My mother said I had to leave, she said I must save myself and find a real future.'
The teenager is sitting with Nijab on the flat roof of an abandoned building in the heart of Vučjak camp, a squalid quagmire without electricity, running water or toilets.
'I have only spoken to my mother once since I left home,' Raaz says. 'She doesn’t know I am here in the jungle, I don’t want her to worry.'
Nijab nods his head in agreement. Originally from Khost in western Afghanistan, his family relocated to Kabul three years ago, but his father urged him to flee the country amid continued conflict and instability."

When the mind considers some men and women
- who would have "accidentally" treated you better if you had been born into a very different body, it thinks "They can either work on changing a lot about themselves in relation to that, or they can step aside to allow the more visionary and respectful ones come through."
It was real
The universe wanted to give me the kind of dream where I was at the back of a church watching Emerson speak and share energy with humanity.

Cooking can be fun
Put on some water and popped a tray of cinnamon rugelach into the oven.
(As opposed to being depressed about finances) even staring at the pot with five tomatoes in your hands while waiting for the water to boil can be fun.

That time he had some influence
"Benjamin Franklin countered that a forthcoming election was not good enough to avert impeachment and removal because said election would be tainted by a president who had tried to influence the outcome by involving a foreign power in a plot to tip the election in his favor. Morris found that reasoning so compelling that he changed his mind. Franklin's argument won the day and the Convention quickly voted to include the impeachment and removal language in the Constitution."
