This law should have never been replace.
Biden could protect student-loan borrowers from being stuck with useless degrees and a lot of debt by bringing back a rule Trump ditched, progressive lawmakers say
When it comes to holding corporations accountable, student-loan borrowers entered the mix. The agenda called for Biden to crack down on predatory for-profit colleges, and doing so included reinstating and bolstering the gainful employment rule â an Obama-era regulation that cut off federal aid for schools that offer career and certificate programs that leave students with excessive student debt compared to their post-graduation earnings.
Former President Donald Trumpâs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos repealed the rule in 2019, and lawmakers want Biden to reinstate it as soon as possible.
âThe Department of Education should protect students by expediting and strengthening a reinstated Gainful Employment rule,â the lawmakers wrote in CPCâs agenda, adding that the department should also âinform applicants if they are applying to an institution on the low-value college list that risks leaving students with high debt and low earnings prior to administering financial aid.â

Good Monday morning everyone,
I just listen to another great essay from Academy of Ideas and thought I would share it
If you reject Carl Jungâs work then you are probably the person he is addressing
Freedom is to embrace your own Shadow

Thanks for the Link @Dennis3450 - I guess this is why I am drawn so Sir John - as depicted in the works of the Bard. As an aspiration perhaps rather than a reality.
But how could Dr Jekyll embrace Hyde? and how could any practicing (or even non-practicing) "Christian âembraceâ his or her own âShadowâ ?

Jung was, I believe a Pupil of Freud - but Freud was a âcounsellorâ in todayâs terms - whereas I think Jung was a more Philosophical or âacademicâ student of the psyche - in saying âEmbrace the shadowâ he seems to ignore the mechanism for doing so and more to the point the consequences of such action !
Not to detract too much from the clip you posted - and in particular the part saying "make a note of the actions of others which annoy you the most - and look to âprojectionâ within your own mind "!
Peterson is a great admirer of Jung as I recall and I have watched many hours of his stuff in this respect - trouble is again - yes there is probably truth therein - but HOW to âEmbraceâ it ?"

As a practicing Christian, I would say in that case the âShadowâ is âSinâ We are all sinners and as Christians we confess our sins and try to live as sin free as we can.
On the Jekyll and Hyde front, I might point out what Marvel did with the hulk
Dr Bannon embraced his shadow and we got this, it makes me wonder is someone at Marvel might had once read Jung
An even better example the shadow was from the 1956 movie âForbiddenâ planet, in this example Walter Pidgeonâs character denies his shadow and things go bad

According to the Fox News emails and texts, they knew they were spreading a lie, they were pleasing Trump and his supporters with emotional difficulties
Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch said under oath 2020 election was ânot stolen,â according to court filings
NEW YORK (AP) â Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch said under oath that he believes the 2020 presidential election was free, fair and not stolen, according to court filings released Tuesday in a voting machine companyâs defamation lawsuit over Fox Newsâ coverage of former President Donald Trumpâs false election fraud claims.
Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity says he knew all along Trump lost the election
Fox News star Sean Hannity â one of former President Donald Trumpâs strongest allies on the air and one of his closest advisers off it â admitted under oath that he never believed the lie that Trump was cheated of victory in the 2020 presidential election by a voting tech company.

You almost feel bad for the people who believe the lie, especially for the ones who stormed the capitol and went to prison based on a lie, but you shouldnât.
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch - Matthew 15:14
So when will MSNBC, CNN and the other usual suspects pay for the lies they put out during Russagate.
I donât see anything fair and balanced when it comes to holding all media accountable
For myself, I could not care less as I do not watch any of these corporate own anything for a buck media outlets
As Denzel Washington once said speaking to the media , " people who donât watch the news are uninformed, and people who get their news from you are missed informed"

When they are sued by a company or person for lying on them
Fox newsâ dirty laundry has been exposed enough already, too embarassing to continue.
Fox News Settles Dominion Case, Avoiding Public Airing of Networkâs Dirty Laundry
Fox News has settled with Dominion Voting Systems, which sued the network for defamation after it repeatedly aired false claims about the voting-machine company rigging the 2020 presidential election. The settlement is a landmark moment in political media, with the primary news source for millions of Americans admitting it lied about the outcome of a presidential election.
Fox paid $787.5 million to skirt a public reckoning for its lies. The settlement means the network will avoid having to trot its highest-profile figures â from Rupert Murdoch to Tucker Carlson and beyond â in front of a jury to testify under oath about their coverage of the 2020 election, which the court has already determined was rife with false claims. The full terms of the settlement have not been made public, but the network will not have to apologize or even acknowledge on air that it was a font of misinformation during a crisis in democracy.

Not sure mate - I used to watch âThe incredible hulkâ on Tv and "the hulk used to come out when Banner got Angry - so in effect he called on the âdark sideâ for assistance when required - I think this is probably what the âjungianâ side are calling for ! It is also a part of Jordan Petersonâs advice to - âbe Dangerousâ - as I see it.
Whereas in the Jekyll and Hyde scenario - âHydeâ is the âanti-characterâ to be avoided, rejected and pushed down deep into the subconscious - I think this interpretatation is more in line with the Christian ideal - is it not ?
So rather than denying the âShadowâ Jung and Peterson seem to be saying âembrace the Shadowâ they are perhaps saying that we need to recognise our less than âSocialâ abilities and drives and to bring them out and reklease these abilities / tendencies when we are threatened rather than âTurning the other cheekâ ? - Thanks for raising this point - something to consider - especially methinks on the âHulkâ issue - I do remember sometimes saying inwardly âFetch the hulkâ when watching the programme - and perhaps we too could consider what powers and abilities we may have ( and perhaps may be frightened of or feel they are not appropriate in our lives ? ) but perhaps should be cultivated and kept in reserve for times of need ?
Thinking back - there have been times when a more insistant stance would have been and occasionally Have been most appropriate for the situation.
As they say the tip of the iceberg. It will be interesting.
Exclusive-Fox investors seek records in possible step toward suing directors
Fox Corp shareholders are demanding company records that may show whether directors and executives properly oversaw Fox Newsâ coverage of former President Donald Trumpâs election-rigging claims, sources told Reuters, in what could be a prelude to lawsuits seeking to make directors liable for costs.
Investors are using provisions in Delaware corporate law to demand internal Fox records to investigate how Foxâs leaders acted as its Fox News network aired segments on Trumpâs false claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to voter fraud, two sources confirmed.
In moves not previously reported, shareholders are looking for records such as board minutes, emails and texts that may contain evidence that Fox directors and executives were derelict by allowing the network to air the false claims.
The shareholders could use these as well as evidence presented in other lawsuits to build a case for the leaders to be held personally liable for costs from two defamation cases by voting-machine companies over the Fox coverage.

Justice Department to seek longest sentence in any Jan. 6 case so far
The U.S. Department of Justice will seek the longest prison sentence in any January 6 riot case to date when it argues for more than 24 years in prison for Peter Schwartz of Pennsylvania at sentencing on May 5. If imposed, the sentence would be more than twice as long as any handed down so far in the approximately 450 cases related to the January 6, 2021, assault that have reached sentencing.
In a sentencing memo submitted Monday, federal prosecutors argue Schwartz already had a lengthy criminal history when he entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, where he then unleashed a series of violent assaults against groups of officers. He was convicted at trial in December on several charges, including four counts of felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers using a dangerous weapon.

Saudi company draws unlimited Arizona ground water amid drought
Farms in western Arizona are growing alfalfa â one of the most water-intensive crops â in an area where thereâs a shortage of water. Some farms are foreign-owned and are shipping the crop to Saudi Arabia, where itâs illegal to grow because it takes too much water.
Itâs a growing controversy that could lead to a reckoning over scarce water supplies. Amid a backlash, the state legislature is considering a ban on most foreign-owned farms.
âPumps are pumping water out of the ground that belongs to the State of Arizona, and essentially itâs being exported to Saudi Arabia,â said Kris Mayes, Arizonaâs newly elected attorney general.
Fondomonte, which is owned by one of the largest dairy companies in Saudi Arabia, bought vast tracts of desert in western Arizona on top of a massive groundwater aquifer in part because there are no regulations on how much water can be pumped out of the ground. Anyone who buys or leases land there can put in a well and draw water.
