Gen Z and millennials do not trust the media, but 79% consume news daily: Poll
Both millennials and Generation Zers are avid consumers of news , with nearly 80% reporting that they consume news every day. A new AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey found that nearly a third of the group is also willing to pay for news . Just 23% of the group, which ranges from 16-40 years old, has a positive view of the media in general. They're more likely to trust local media outlets, but trust in those entities is scarce as well. The majority of respondents reported spending either 2-4 or 5-8 hours online each day. While many follow the news, less than a third find it enjoyable or entertaining. This number fell from seven years ago, when more than half of the group reported enjoying news. Furthermore, only 37% of respondents say they like discussing the news with friends and family, similarly plummeting from 53% seven years prior. Only 12% believe misinformation is not a problem, while more than half of respondents described it as a "major problem." Additionally, almost half of millennials and Generation Z'ers reported being either unfamiliar with or only a little familiar with what an op-ed, or opinion editorial, is.

You are either part of the op to distract Q Research or part of the team to combat the distraction? Time will tell.
Opinions vary. The fights over anime bakes are started by whom? It's appearing clearer now.
The Student Loan Giveaway is Much Bigger Than You Think
Wiping out 10k in student debt is not the most expensive part of the Biden student loan program. Most Federal student loans are now eligible for an income based repayment plan, under these plans students pay a small percentage of their “discretionary” income, say 10%, and then after a fixed number of years the debt is wiped off the student’s books. At first glance these plans don’t seem crazy, but as Matt Bruenig points out they create perverse incentives. Under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, law graduates that go on to work in the public sector, which is a lot of them as the public sector employs many lawyers, only have to pay 10 percent of their discretionary income for 10 years in order to have their debt forgiven. Law schools figured out many years ago that, for a student who is planning to enroll in PSLF upon graduation, prices and debt loads don’t matter. Ten percent of your discretionary income is ten percent of your discretionary income regardless of what the law school charges you and how much debt you nominally have to take on. Law schools also realized that they could make the deal even sweeter by setting up LRAPs [repayment programs, AT] that give graduates money to cover the the modest repayments required by the PSLF.
The LRAP schemes work as follows:
The school increases their tuition.
The student takes out federal loans to cover the tuition increase.
The school squirrels away the debt-financed tuition increase into an LRAP fund.
The school disburses money from the LRAP fund to cover PSLF repayments.
Did you get that? Here’s a stylized example. Suppose a student will make 150k per year for 10 years working in the public sector. If they have 200k in debt they pay 15k every year to the government for 10 years and then 50k is “forgiven.” But now the law school comes to the student and says ‘heh, I have a deal which will make both of us better off. We are going to raise the price of law school to 400k but don’t worry not only won’t that cost you a penny more than the 15k a year you are already obligated to pay it will actually cost you much less because we will pay your payments of 15k per year!’ This indeed is a great deal for the student who pays nothing and it’s a great deal for the law school which gets 200k more revenue immediately in return for 150k of payments paid out over the following 10 years. Win-win! Except for the taxpayer of course. But wait there’s more. Student loans can be used not only to pay tuition and fees but also to pay “living expenses.” Thus, under these plans, students have an incentive to take out as big a loan as allowed in excess of tuition and fees because no matter how large the loan the student’s costs are zero! Lyman Stone has a good tweet thread giving many examples of how to game the system such as “Every student should borrow their maximum loan eligibility and then find some way to invest it illegally. My strategy would be: rent a wildly oversized apartment and sublet.” And here is a tweet thread from Michael Feinberg showing how even wealthy parents may be able to game the system.
Furthermore, the new Biden plan makes the income driven repayment schemes even more generous!
The IDR changes are four-fold:
Increase the amount of income not subject to IDR from 150 percent of the federal poverty line to 225 percent of the federal poverty line.
Reduce the interest rate on IDR-enrolled loans to 0 percent.
For undergraduate debt, reduce the IDR rate from 10 percent of income beyond the threshold in (1) to 5 percent of income beyond the threshold in (1).
For IDR-enrolled debts with original loan balances below $12,000, reduce the repayment period from 20 years to 10 years.
Essentially what this means is that every school will now have the possibility of using a law school like program to shift costs onto taxpayers. Thus Bruenig concludes:
…going forward, these new rules could quite radically alter the incentives of colleges and students when it comes to college prices, institutional financial aid, how much debt to take on, and how to approach repayment. Indeed, these programs are likely to be very expensive and the resulting increase in the price of tuition will lead to calls either to end the program or for price controls on education.

When the persona gets picked apart the team running the anime op gets big mad. Anons are cruising right past it. Anons are more savvy than ever before.
I'm not so sure about you being part of the team as you being used by the team. Either way there is a team.
anime is not the key here. distraction from mission is the key here. Anon discussion without emotion reveals the op.

The anime op is indeed a test. Anons are passing with flying colors now that they know how the op works.
Boris Johnson resigns, newly elected British PM Liz Truss to succeed, address England, cheer Ukraine
Amid forming a new cabinet, Truss, who is a strong supporter of Ukraine’s freedom, said her first act will be to call to President Volodymyr Zelensky to offer her support
Truss ascends to the top of the UK Conservative majority, despite carrying on an affair with a married MP for 6 years and being the President of a Liberal Democrat group during her years in College
Two months after announcing his intent to step down, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson left his office at 10 Downing Street office Tuesday morning before heading to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to formally offer his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II. His replacement, 47-year old conservative party leader Liz Truss is expected to be formally accepted by the Queen later today, one day after the Conservative Party’s 172,000 members elected her as their leader. Johnson told his fellow Britons outside Downing Street that during his tenure he felt he did what was necessary during his tenure to protect England and it was now time to move forward.
“I am like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function,’’ Johnson said before getting into a car and leaving the gates of Downing Street for the last time as prime minister. “I will now be gently re-entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the Pacific.” The change in power from Johnson to Truss at the queen’s summer retreat at Balmoral marks the first time such a ceremony was held in Aberdeenshire instead of London’s Buckingham Palace. The ceremony location was changed to avoid inconveniencing the 96-year old queen who has recently experienced some difficulty. Truss is expected to speak to the entire United Kingdom Tuesday afternoon as the nation’s new leader. Her audience will consist of 67 million people who are most likely waiting to hear her plans for how to deal with issues such as the economy, energy, the health care system and the continuing Russian invasion in Ukraine. The war has placed pressure on Western Europeans, and many Britons are currently struggling to pay their energy bills, which have reportedly tripled since Russian President Vladimir Putin breached the Ukrainian border. Other contributing factors have been the economic slowdown from the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit, leaving England facing current inflation rates of 10% with projections of it peaking 13.3% by October. The current Sterling rate for the British pound is as low as $1.15, a minimal performance against the U.S. dollar since the Reagan era. To face those problems, Truss is reportedly planning to scale back regulations and cut taxes.

-
Speculation has risen in recent months about President Putin suffering from a number of serious health conditions as his physical appearance has steadily deteriorated.
(in this anon's humble opinion he had to pee / fake news)
