Right? The group he's threatening is likely to have plenty who can pass with flying colors.

there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months

That's not a small amount. That's fucking with economic outlook levels.

As for their program to "guide" folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they're indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.

And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, "pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life" to be their go to solution.

There's a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump's administration to fuck it up every step of the way.

The start of the actual effects.

Everyone looking at stock markets and 401(k)s as the effects, but the actual ground level affects they were always going to take at least three to six months to really feel.

And love zero of them.

Synology's new Plus Series NAS

This isn't surprising. SOHO and middle tier business hardware installs have all kinds of these requirements from support vendors. Synology was sort of an outlier on those that just allowed mixed bag and it provide software calculations on hard drive health.

That they want knowns in their machines isn't surprising. I'm actually surprised it isn't a complete drop in any assurances if you BYOD.

These features in this product aren't home or consumer grade and indicating that it's for the "advance home user" is like saying Arch Linux is the advance MacOS. There's a lot of detail behind that statement that's not being addressed.

It is sad to see them go this route, but I cannot say it comes as a surprise. But honestly, if you're a hobbyist and see yourself using the features in this level of NAS, you're likely skilled enough as is to build your own. And honestly, you'll be happier building your own.

Vindictive. Turkey feels better about themselves when the person is completely silenced.

Careful with that. As a workaholic who was on this style for a while, I got introduced to a thing called refeeding syndrome while out on travel for the company.

Nothing too terrible in my case, but one moment I was on-site explaining some programmable logic controllers that needed to be installed at site and then next moment I'm waking up in a hospital.

Your body can get really used to one way of doing things that when you shock it in some other direction (like having a big meal with the facility you're at) it'll ask you to have a quick nap while it figures out what to do with what you just gave it.

I guess I don't play Mario then. It's a pretty simple concept.

However, I thought that the infrastructure would be set up prior for small business to come back to America and manufacture in America. So to wish ill on someone and to love the fact that they’re suffering, to love the fact that their family is being negatively affected, because I didn’t vote the same way that you did is [expletive] up

This guy is a double idiot. That he would think the manufacturing would be around before the tariffs went into place. it's just silly thinking.

But also that he believes "go woke, go broke" isn't the exact same thing he's facing, is a whole other level of ignorance.

There's no way this person isn't just rage bait. No one could truly be this fucking regraded. I refuse to believe there are people this genuinely ignorant who aren't just out there for rage bait.

Well just think of it this way. The last time the GOP fucked up this badly, they lost the majority for nearly 60 years. I mean the United States suffered for nearly ten years and we literally had to have a World War to pulls us out, but the GOP was a marginal cockroach for over half a century.

Clearly they're just missing their old stomping grounds.

The old Dead Cat Bounce confuses the Conservative Subreddit once again! LOL

And I bet they didn't even say thank you! My favorite quote from r/Conservative was:

But I’m willing to bet a lot of money, actually already have by buying the dip, that we’ll recover and reach new heights

I want to personally thank that person for buying the dip. I liked to think that in an indirect manner my put options help transfer some of that buying from that Redditor into my wallet.

Also, I'm not cheering on the United State's demise, far from it. I live here so it would behoove me for this place to not go under. But if there's idiots out there handing out free cash, I mean what are you going to do? Doing tariffs is one thing but doing blanket tariffs only leads to one conclusion. If they're tossing money out there knowing that, then far be it for me to not help them unload some of it.

Ha ha, but for real. They'll just turn people's power off, tell them to ration, and/or jack the price per kWh to 500% what it was.

Team Orange let's no good calamity go to waste. Everything is potential profit if you have no moral compass.

Experts warn his messaging confuses parents and downplays the proven protection of the MMR vaccine

Oh look RFK is getting people nearly killed. Who could have seen this coming?

You're mostly right in that the person you're replying is missing that we are providing money for those people's detention. But El Salvador doesn't HAVE TO give the person back, there's nothing outside of us stopping payments that compels them.

It's a semantic difference indeed but goes to point out the difference between legal means and diplomatic means. Legally, there's nothing the US can do, once the person is in El Salvador they are under that country's legal system. Diplomatically, yes, absolutely we can ask El Salvador to hand the person back or there will be diplomatic and potentially economic consequences for not doing so.

Now as others have pointed out, the Executive branch has a wide latitude for diplomatic powers. Judge indicated that the President work diplomatically to bring the person home, but outside of that, the "or else" part. There's not much the Judge can do past that.

Additionally, El Salvador could press charges on the person and then there would be nothing that can be done to bring the person home in any legal means and likely less so diplomatically. This is the issue with sending people there. President Bukele of El Salvador could wish for better diplomatic relationships with the United States and Trump and just invent charges to keep the person there forever. There's literally nothing we can do is El Salvador indicates that they are keeping the person and there's nothing in the court system that can compel anyone to make those reasons clear.

That's the biggest thing about the difference between diplomatic and legal. In legal means, the Court system can ensure that people are following through on requirements. In a diplomatic means, it's just depends on who can butter who's biscuit the best. The Judge can tell the President to bring him back, but that means next to nothing when it comes to diplomatic matters.

For those wondering. Chapter III, Article 65 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea clause 2 indicates that the Nation Assembly must have a simple majority to bring about impeachment charges and, for the President, a two-thirds vote to be convicted.

That a motion for the impeachment of the President shall be proposed by a majority of the total members of the National Assembly and approved by two thirds or more of the total members of the National Assembly

Clause 3 then indicates that once someone is impeached the impeachment is adjudicated.

Any person against whom a motion for impeachment has been passed shall be suspended from exercising his power until the impeachment has been adjudicated

Chapter VI, Article 111 Clause 1(2) indicates that the Constitutional Court will have original jurisdiction over adjudicating impeachments.

The Constitutional Court shall have jurisdiction over the following matters: 2. Impeachment

The National Assembly impeached Yoon Suk Yeol on December 14th, 2024. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo took over as acting President until his impeachment on December 27th, 2024. First Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok then took over as acting President until the Constitutional Court acquitted Han Duck-soo who then resumed as acting President.

Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment was upheld by the Constitutional Court by a vote of 8-0. It is this ruling that the story linked is indicating.

Chapter IV, Article 68 Clause 2 indicates that when a permanent vacancy occurs in the office of the President, a new election must be held within 60 days.

In case a vacancy occurs in the office of the President or the President-elect dies, or is disqualified by a court ruling or for any other reason, a successor shall be elected within sixty days

So a new election will be held no later than June 3rd of this year. This will be to elect a new President to a single term of five years.

If it passes the House, it doesn't matter, Trump can veto it.

Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Chadha in 1983 declared Legislative Veto unconstitutional. It should have been then when all the emergency powers were rewritten.

So as it stands. All those emergency powers that were written with the understanding that a simple majority was all that was needed to end an emergency, now need a veto proof majority.

President Trump will impose a 10% tariff on all countries

It's just whatever at this point. Clearly he's gunning for recession, fuck it. Nobody in Congress stopping him.

At this point all those emergency powers Congress has given the President since the 1920s needs to be pulled back because clearly we can no long assure that the President won't declare everything an emergency.

Schedule F classification. Trump tried it once towards the end of his first term, promised that he would do it again when he came back into office but Trump lost that election.

That he's now doing again is literally no surprise. He absolutely promised that this would happen and spoke about how he was going to do it if he won 2024 after losing 2020.

Long story short, this creates what basically amounts to at-will employment at the Federal level. Again, this should come as a shock to no one, like he started detailing the implementation back in 2022, before he even got the nomination, it's literally one of the most consistent things about Trump's policy.

Now if you're wondering, yes, at-will employment styled employment in Federal Office will mean that if Trump doesn't like someone for any reason, they can be let go, zero employment protections.

Elon Musk is neither President or Vice President, yet yields a massive amount of power for someone who is just "an independent contractor".

This is what I'm getting at. That a JD Vance President and Mike Johnson VP (let's just say for sake of illustration) could indicate they're bringing Trump on as a "consultant" and then leave their jobs largely up to him.

Technically speaking Vance would still hold the title President but Trump would be executing most of the functions.

Yeah. Then Putin took back the role of President using the argument that Medvedev being President allowed Putin to run again despite term limits.

Medvedev became Prime Minister, then everyone in Parliament resigned all at the exact same time, leaving the President as the only one running the place.

Putin rewrote the Constitution and that was the end of that.
