The SAVE plan injunction already put many in student loan limbo. Not counting the months since the injunction towards PSLF was cruel. Adding interest to the loans as a way to scare people out of SAVE is diabolical. I didn't ask for any of this. I just want the PSLF I earned after a decade of service

The irony is everyone being all anti "woke" while Black women moved right on to rest as resistance a few years back. We are in a state that allows us to be both conscious and at ease. We stay ready so we dont have to get ready. We're quite brilliant. Sleep at your own risk.

After exploring AI, I noticed it's flaws. The nost successful implementation of LLMs requires accurate data, capital, & environmental resources. A few small players will win big, but the corporate juggernauts will remain on top through acquisition. That's not disruption. Also, listen to Black women.
