The SBA may release more guidance but as of now payroll costs over $100k are not included in the calculation of the eligible loan amount. They have not been excluded from forgiveness.

However, the forgiveness penalties for reductions of more than 25% in wages/salary for employees does not apply to employees making over $100k.

Nuclear weapons have only been used without the deterrent of retaliation.

While there is an inherent danger in having weapons capable of leaving the Earth largely uninhabitable for humans there's also a very real danger that without them the last 70 years of unprecedented levels of peace ends.

So lets say that you "fix" the education system.

What does that mean for college enrollments? Do the ~70% of households making less than 50k who were generating far lower percentages of college bound children now boost enrollments for universities?

With a similar dropout rate or lower since education is "fixed" we now have a ton more college graduates. Are there anywhere near enough jobs requiring a college degree to satisfy the demand?

There is a much larger problem than some stock-phrase about education can fix.

What if what we need is frequent in person interaction with other people?

Spreading out further and further, eating up arable land with exurban homes, putting more distance between ourselves and others. It seems unhealthy for us and the "nature" you want to be in tune with.

"Across the study period, 66 595 youths died by suicide, and rural suicide rates were nearly double those of urban areas for both males (19.93 and 10.31 per 100 000, respectively) and females (4.40 and 2.39 per 100 000, respectively)." http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=21950...

The same problem happened to me and I agree it was annoying.

The solution for reading the article is to read as much as possible before scrolling down. Then a slight scroll will move you down half the first page. After that first scroll the rest of the article behaves normally.

If by /supporting/ we mean to accept that a large class of students speaks a divergent dialect of English at home, then I am all for it. Instruct children on American English but don't demean, discourage, or devalue them because of the dialect they grew up speaking.

I don't think the article or comment really supported teaching AAVE to the exclusion of American English, the article at least tries to point out that teachers often view AAVE as an indicator of low intelligence instead of a separate dialect and supports changing that stereotype.

While I don't have access to the financials of Invisible Children, I take issue with the seemingly implied idea that all charitable organizations should be run by paupers whose only reward is a warm fuzzy feeling. If we limit charitable actors to people who don't desire a certain level of compensation, we very severely limit the number of qualified charitable actors.

If giving to a charity was viewed as purchasing a product, in this case effort toward stopping a vicious warlord, then is ~30% 'materials' cost, 70% staffing/travel/advertising/office space an absurd ratio?
