Debt Forgiveness
April 19, 2024

I had a question from the audience: So you would rather the money go to the other guy?

Let me explain, young man on social media:

Money will never go to the other guy. If the government takes on the debt of people who got ethnic studies degrees and are still paying their student loan in spite of their $300K plus family income, they are shifting the tax burden to people who make less money and didn't go to college and take on a student loan. There is no real debt forgiveness; instead, government accepts more debt and inflation rises, making basic necessities like food more expensive.

Unfortunately the young man doesn’t understand financials; he probably got an ethnic studies degree.

The Chance Pin Giveaway

Last night on our first game stream we announced our Chance pin giveaway! Now through 5/17/24, anyone who signs up for the Substack free newsletter or Locals community is entered to win a pin. We’re giving out three pins and winners will be chosen at random and announced by their user name.

Reminder for paid supporters of either platform, a pin comes with your subscription! Just contact me at [email protected] and I will get one out to you. One of you already has and provided an address to send it to—that’s all I need and it will be on the way.

Rumble Channel

The stream had some technical problems at the beginning. After weeks of testing, of course I tried one little new thing and lost game sound for a few minutes (microphone input conflict). We sorted that out. It was a blast overall and we’ll be doing another next week. Probably Tuesday night.

Even if you’re not a gamer, it’s an opportunity to chat with us! Subscribe to our channel for notifications

H-1B Visa

Where does the American graduate go where the H-1B Visa won't take it away from him? Importing indentured servants from other countries has flattened the salaries of American engineers since 2012. No one is happier about it than the average tech company.

Naturally when I bring up the average tech company who should pop up but Bobby Cujo—but that’s for next time.

And then there’s Friday’s comic in case you missed it:

The California fires continue to rage.

Meta Backlash Against Fake AI Users on Instagram

We’re back from our hiatus on new comics! A new Pod Life came out a few weeks ago and we’re working on the next. We spent Christmas refreshing as a family and we also bought some new equipment for the podcast.

There was a Mean Tweets last week though most people were still on vacation—I suspect our listeners tune in at work

More coming now that 2025 is underway!

War is Over

Every year the radio plays that John Lennon song that ends in a parenthesis. War is over (if you want it). Unfortunately both parties have to want it, and it seems both parties are intent on war. Odd that I haven't heard this song play on the radio this year.

I got this nice note from SESpider on X:

 

That sums up why we started Based Comic in the first place. If this reminder that Jesus won the war is helpful at all, may it bless you and yours this Christmas. We’ll see you next week!
