Did COVID-19 Teach Us Nothing?

I needed a break from life. Between planning a wedding and gearing up to start work on a PhD, my fiancée and I have been stressed. So at the beginning of May, I thought it was finally time to use the Las Vegas tickets we purchased last June when the…

Banning Guns Will Reduce Mass Shootings, But Won’t Stop Random Killings

Another day, another shooting — We hear the same narrative after every shooting. Groups of politicians either call for stricter gun control or cite mental illness as the reason someone decided to open fire on a group of innocent people. At this point, it’s insane that we have still not settled this timeless debate on…

All it took was a very expensive wedding. — Recently my fiancee and I set a date for our wedding. I proposed in October 2019. But if I’m being honest, I only did so to make her happy. I don’t see what the difference between being married and not being married is for a couple like us. But I…

Biden’s Wealth is What Makes Him Reluctant to Forgive Student Loan Debt

Something tells me the Biden children never had to sign loan documents before — President Biden recently gave his first CNN town hall interview. It was all standard fanfare. The majority of people lobbed softball questions at him, to which he replied with his usual charming answers. Eventually, he received a question to which he had no sly come back. A question that put…

3 Tricks I Use to Live a Fulfilling Life as an Introvert

Yes, you’ll have to socialize. — Being an introvert can really suck sometimes. It can feel like you’re missing out on life. Personally, there’s been times when friends would invite me out and I would skip. I’d wake up the next morning and find social media posts of an amazing night I forced myself to miss…

Millionaires Think You May Make Too Much for a Third Stimulus Check

Congress is nothing more than a millionaires club — We’ve heard for months about an upcoming $2000 stimulus check. In January, it was instilled into our brains that so long as both of Georgia’s Senate seats were won by Democrats, an immediate relief bill would be passed. The struggling people of the United States would finally receive some meaningful…

It’s time for Congress to stop ignoring the economic inequalities in our country — We’ve all heard about the GameStop stock price skyrocketing due to a Reddit group collectively organizing to drive up the price. At this point it’s no secret that what’s occurring on Wall Street is monumental. So much so that trading platform Robinhood halted the buying of several stocks to try…

Let’s Calm Our Biden Expectations

It’s going to take time to clean up the wreckage Trump is leaving behind. — Since January of 2017, we’ve lived in a country led by a man who believes wealth allows a man to approach women and “grab ’em by the pussy.” Whether you love Trump or hate him, it’s hard to deny that his presidency has been anything other than a nightmarish roller-coaster…
