I now realized that there was an entire industry, called consumer finance, that basically existed to rip people off."

The Japan TimesI was early to full online teaching at Evergreen Valley College, 2001-2003. I taught both C++ and Perl 100% online. Academia was very queasy about remote at that time. Since 2003 I have been at a residential R1, where I have witnessed much slower adoption of related tools (Canvas), as is appropriate here. But so many other institutions went much or even full online!
Now it seems like it must end, #AI means #remote must end? Here for that!

Given his Machiavellian policies -most of those Dems have backed off -for now. One of the two Dem co-sponsors of the GENIUS Act, Sen Alsobrooks: supports her colleagues who're refusing to vote to advance the bill until they get further commitments on it.
Some Dems can't be trusted, many took campaign #crypto.
