The IBR plans are aggregated against all your federal loans. So, unless there are some weird private loans in there, that’s the upper limit in sum total based on the income we’re discussing here.

“Neoliberal shill” who has achieved more leftist policy goals in three and a half years than all US leftists combined have in the last 30.

Honestly, it may not be enough. People, including sci-fi writers, chronically misunderstand the scale of space and how populations could fill in that space in a true galaxy-wide civilization.

Estimates place the number of stars in the Milky Way at 100 billion. This would work out to 10 billion lives per star in the galaxy. That doesn’t seem unreasonable, when we know that ecumenopoli exist and smaller versions of them exist in much larger numbers. We also know that terraforming of otherwise non-hospitable worlds is readily achieved in the SW universe. On top of that there are 5-25 million different species of sapient life, bringing even more classes of planets into this calculation.

But very few people would ever get to see Jedis use force powers. They might see them brandish a lightsaber

Approximately 10,000 Jedi were in the Order at the start of the Clone Wars. At that time the galaxy was home to over one hundred quintillion (100,000,000,000,000,000,000) sapient beings. Almost no one ever saw a Jedi during their lives.

Over 200 candidates from Macron’s party withdrew to consolidate votes under the New Front’s candidates. Did you’d stop paying attention like two weeks ago?

n=40 isn’t actually bad for generalized conclusions, given a reasonable spread in the results. Your second point is a much stronger argument. The sample is entirely non-representative.

The stem roasts extremely well. If you peel it and slice it into medallions. I roast it this way in the same pan with the florets.

I’ve started hearing Great Lakes more and more from people in MI, MN, and WI in the last several years.
