This isn't really politics related, but the smog shit this summer is bad in Detroit. It smells more like a campfire in Metro Detroit than a state park does.

I'm north but I almost called the FD thinking my house was on fire and then I went outside and it was worst.

After spending 4 days in the hospital and my current condition I couldn't sleep with the smoke in the air.

Are you okay? I may have missed what happened?

Smoke got really bad down in GR too, to the point that I couldn't finish my work day due to inability to breathe.

And with the heat dome in Texas and all the high temperatures all over most of the US, people need to take care of themselves and their animal friends as well.


Don't forget to look out for children and the elderly too.

Even up here in Northern Michigan the air quality is poor I think we were at 164 today.

When the Olympics were in Beijing, the Chinese officials shut down the factories a long time before the games to improve the air quality. People would post the before and after pictures because the difference was so stark. The last month has looked like those before pictures. It's so weird to have a sunny day but it looks like it's foggy at ground level.

The US has got to do more to avert catastrophe in the world.
glad to see New York is trying to put the pizza owners by stopping the gas and other type ovens.

Typed without thinking.

SCOTUS rules 6-3 against Biden student loan forgiveness. In the case that 2 individuals that didn't qualify for 20k relief. SCOTUS rules they have no standing.

In MOHELA case, in which state of Missouri brought the lawsuit NOT MOHELA itself brought the lawsuit. SCOTUS rules that dies have legal standing.

Then the majority finds that the HEROES act, which was used by Trump for targeted student loan forgiveness, does not specifically allow student loan forgiveness. That act would have to come from Congress.

Now the Higher Education Act of 1965 does give the Secretary of Education the right to modify/change federal student loans.

The Dem nomination of HRC in 2016, is the gift that just keeps on giving.

This Court is really bad.

But c'est la vie. I hope, badly, that reform will still be made to the Student Loan program. I've paid on my loans for 10 years now and owe more than when I started. It's depressing. C'mon Mega Millions!!

I have been paying on them consistently. I was one of the ones that would have gotten the 20k. And I don't make enough to ever pay them off. I have no future.

I think the Biden administration will do this. Rail against SCOTUS and then use this as fundraising and to say they need for Dems in office, so maybe, possibly, they might do something down the road for student loan forgiveness if the mood strikes them.
