student

debt

solar

eclipse

, when people from all over the continent gathered to have their wallets stolen while they were distracted by space. Hopefully everyone wore the correct safety glasses so you don't get covid from the sun, but even if you did. wear them, you may still have a sun hangover Google Trends report

observers Observers may not have been wearing proper eye protection, company says it saw an increase in searches for my eyes hurt after Monday's

solar

eclipse, my eyes hurt, that's It's not even a question that that sounds like people are complaining to their computer.

My eyes hurt. Google has some loser friends indeed. I hate that Google uses our searches to monitor trends. That's why you have to do some fake searches every day like me. I'll put on sore eyes and something random like edible hockey skates just to take it off, but this story says a lot about the state of our healthcare system in the past, if you had sore eyes you'd call your family. doctor and I would tell you to smoke more cigarettes nowadays you have to wait six weeks to get an appointment with your ophthalmologist or you can go online and immediately discover that eclipse glasses gave you autism.

Look, the good news is for most people. The

pain

is probably a harmless case of eye irritation, you'll be fine because those glasses were made from the same advanced high-tech material as the birthday crown they give you at Burger King. Now speaking of the shadows that loom over America, let's move on to the gun. violence America treats its gun problem the same way a dog treats a newborn baby, hoping that if we ignore it it will go away, but at this point any progress, no matter how small, would be better than the status quo and now a legal verdict could have established an important precedent that is broken today for the first time in the United States the parents whose son killed four teenagers will themselves spend 10 to 15 years in prison the shredders provided unrestricted access to the gun they ignored the growing their son's mental health issues and enabled his actions to ignore all of the warning signs.

School staff testified that the parents were called to the school and urged to seek psychological help for Ethan just hours before the shooting, but The shredded ones refused to take him home, that's right, for the first time in history parents will be responsible for their children. school shooting, which honestly makes sense to me, you know, we already blame the parents for a lot less when a teenager throws a loud party, we blame the parents or when a kid has a stupid haircut, we blame the Parents, we should blame the parents when it is a child. shoot up a school and why stop with the parents?

Grandparents raise those parents, so put them in prison too. In fact, it goes all the way up the family tree. You know, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, exudes all the bodies and puts them in a special ghost jail. and yeah, and if you're thinking wait, wait, wait, wait, we have to build ghost prisons now, wouldn't it be more reasonable to just regulate guns? Yes, I agree either way after hearing what these parents did. I will never do it. I want to hear again that I'm a bad parent just for giving my son an iPad. Well, the worst thing my son is going to do is go to school and talk with a Peppa Pig accent all day.

Let's move on to some presidential news in our continuing coverage of the 2024 indecision. If you're like most young Americans, you have thousands of dollars of college

debt

after earning your Tick Tock gender studies degree. Fortunately, President Joe Biden is here to help. President Biden unveiled his latest effort to free more Americans who are bogged down by

student

debt. The

plan

announced during a visit to Wisconsin includes debt cancellation for those who now owe more than they borrowed due to interest. runaway we

plan

to deliver up to $20,000 in interest

relief

to over 20 million borrowers whoa, yeah that's a good forgiveness speaking of which, it's interesting that they call this student debt forgiveness as if the student did something wrong, you Sorry for being a broke poor guy, but as long as Biden pays off student loans, how about you pay off the other debts college students incur?

My friend Greg never got me back from that time. I saw it for SEO rental in Panama City, where is my check? Joe, but this is a reminder that college is too expensive. The enrollment. Food and accommodation. Books. A computer to create a social network. Day ruining democracy adds up now some critics say this student loan forgiveness is just a cynical bribe by Joe to give the young people what they want and then they vote for him and they're right it's an old tactic called politics and Joe Biden. It better work because it really needs young people in the 2020 NBC News exit poll.

Candidate Biden led former President Trump by 24 percentage points among voters under 30, but an NBC poll in January had President Biden will win only 8 percentage points among that group. Another poll last month

show

ed Trump with an 18-point lead among voters under 30. Are you excited to vote for President Biden? I would personally say no. I'm excited to vote for someone other than Trump, but I wouldn't say it's me. I'm excited for Biden, man, Joe Biden is in trouble, the most liberal city in a critical swing state in their college students are undecided. I'm excited to vote for anyone besides Trump, how about Joe Biden?

No, so the big question is whether this new plan works to help us answer that question, we're going live on our own Josh Johnson Josh, yeah Josh, you've been talking to young voters, what do they think about student loan cancellation? of Joe Biden? I'll be frank, Michael, they think he's fine, young man. voters have deep core problems with the Biden administration. He has failed us on climate change, social justice and immigration and the way he eats ice cream is disgusting. These are serious flaws that must be addressed. Young people don't want a bribe. They want a leader.

Who will ensure our future? Biden is not going to paper over these fundamental deficiencies by promising us $220,000. He's okay, what if he offered $225,000? Yes, we will accept it. Well, look, yeah, yeah, but that was easy, that was too easy, Josh, how about 21,000, hell no. We're going to offer money on principle what a deal 24,000 20 2250 uh 23 here we go Joe Bild comes back better baby he's okay oh wow he's got the money now Josh Johnson everyone.
