It was never a "school to prison" pipeline. It has always been a "poverty to prison" pipeline where a good education is the only thing that stands between a poor student and prison.

I remember 60 minutes doing an episode on this, a very long time ago. There were some crazy deductions for donations. Part of the story included rich people that were buying diamonds cheaply and then donating them to the Smithsonian, or some other museum, and getting a HUGE deduction. And then there was Leona Helmsley: Queen of Mean: Leona Helmsley leaves $8bn for care of dogs | US news | The Guardian

There were a slew of articles about this back in April of 2026. Here's one:
The British outpost that quietly holds more US debt than China - Asia Times
Thing is, where are they getting all the money to buy US debt? I can't find the article, but I remember reading that somebody discovered the US was loaning these Cayman Island business(es) the money. So the US is loaning the money to buy the US debt. That's not going to end well.

Anecdotal evidence among my friends, the jobs they can get don't pay enough to be worth it. If you're already living in your parents' basement there's no point working full time for $12 per hour. Instead, they work part time and have hours of free time to do stuff. I'm the only one who's FIRE, so I'm not sure I'm statistically significant.

USPS is all screwed up. Track your package. It's like the 70s again, mail something and wait and wait and wait and wait.

The most common cause of death for humans several thousand years ago was starvation. Would you rather die, or eat the SOB across the street that slept with your wife five years ago?

Understanding and Fixing Zero Breeze Mark 3 Battery Blinking
If your Zero Breeze Mark 3 battery is blinking, it’s usually a sign of the Smart BMS (Battery Management System) detecting a condition that could harm the cells — such as a voltage mismatch, incorrect connection, or a fault in the battery chain.
Why the Blinking Happens
- Voltage mismatch during connection: If you connect an ON battery to an OFF battery, the BMS will instantly trigger protection mode and cut off output to prevent cell damage ZERO BREEZE.
- Normal switching behavior: When one battery runs out and the system switches to another, the depleted battery’s screen may flash briefly — this is normal and not a fault ZERO BREEZE.
- Faulty or loose connections: Damaged cables, poor contact, or a failing BMS can cause intermittent blinking.
- Battery health issues: A failing cell or degraded battery can cause erratic behavior.
How to Safely Connect Batteries
Zero Breeze’s safety rule: Always keep the battery you are adding OFF before connecting it ZERO BREEZE.
Steps:
- Check battery status: Double-press the power button. If the screen doesn’t wake, the battery is OFF. If it lights up, hold the button to turn it off ZERO BREEZE.
- Connect all batteries OFF before plugging them in.
- Power on the battery connected directly to the Mark 3 first (Method A) for a stable start ZERO BREEZE.
- If extending runtime while running, keep the existing chain ON, confirm the new battery is OFF, then plug and power it on ZERO BREEZE.
If Blinking Persists
- Inspect connections: Ensure all cables are secure and undamaged.
- Check battery health: If blinking happens even when batteries are OFF, the BMS or a cell may be faulty.
- Reset the system: Power off the Mark 3, disconnect all batteries, wait a few minutes, then reconnect and power on.
- Contact support: If blinking occurs without a clear cause, reach out to Zero Breeze support — it could indicate a BMS fault.
Key Tip
Blinking is a safety feature. It’s not just a cosmetic issue — it’s the BMS protecting your battery pack. Ignoring it can lead to cell damage or reduced battery life.
If you want to avoid blinking altogether, follow the OFF-before-connect rule and ensure all connections are clean and secure. Nomadic Supply Company

Blame people that retaliate against mods. I had a nut job go nuts spamming a couple of my subreddits. He didn't stop until I enabled all the protections against new accounts that I could. I gave you an upvote.... best of luck building your karma.

Because it helps hide how fat he is. It's the same reason he spreads his knees and sits forward during interviews. Because he is really, really fat.
