     Ah yes, there's gambling in the bar, and we are shocked.

     You do know who created the student loan crisis I assume.

     The campaign is over now.

     @glc I know who created the student loan problems here in the UK: the minutiae of US political issues often elude me because, eh, crazy foreigners.

     @cstross The guy had served most of his sentence and under current sentencing guidelines it wouldn't even have been that long. But, hey, it's "let's crucify Biden Time" and nobody checked the story.

     @ravenonthill He only got a fourteen year sentence. My take is, his crimes in combination deserved the death penalty. He destroyed hundreds of lives deliberately, for profit. Some of those kids almost certainly died as a direct result.
