Nothing hypocritical about it.
You can be against taxes and still pay them.
You can be against handouts and still take them.

Libertarians and/or Randians would want less subsidies despite it personal benefit, because they believe it's the right thing for the country.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of starting to study for the GMAT (1 year into ACN). I got a 700 on my first diagnostic with 0 prep or context. Weak in quant (presumably since i dont know any shortcuts, questions took too long). Do you think 740+ is attainable if i study hard? (btw I thought the 700 might have been a fluke so I gave another diagnostic without prep and got 690)

We bought a new build house a couple years ago and just found a gap under our back stoop that has settled so the step is just floating rather than actually sitting on the ground on one side. Can we just... Shovel dirt into it? Do we call a handyman? The contractor? I have no idea if or how concerned we should be. The gap extends a little under the house itself but isn't deep

Since we’re going to be hanging out at home for a while, does anyone have recommendations for outdoor speakers that are Bluetooth and electrically wired? I can’t seem to find WiFi speakers that can be plugged in. I don’t want to invest in a whole sound system, just speakers that connect to my phone that I can plug in, hang/install and not have to change batteries/charge. Thanks in advance!

Honest opinion - student debt forgiveness is a great start but only a bandaid. And a pretty bad one at that. These loans should never have been needed in the first place. Public university should be affordable with a part time job and federal grants - like it was up until the ‘80s. But states have shirked their responsibility to provide affordable college education to their residents and now we are in a big shi**y mess because of it and everyone wants to call it a handout. Thoughts?

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.
