That yacht is worth close to $1m and the dock fees alone are probably close to $2K/month for a boat of that size. |

His 'yacht' is a houseboat bought in 2013 in a liquidation auction for $200,000. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4946155-House-Boat-4.html You can't even get a studio for that price on the Wharf or Capitol Hill. |

And I'm telling you what it's worth in that location, assuming it is fully functional. Again, wealthy Senator pontificating from the back of his yacht in DC at one of the most expensive mooring's in the region while his constituents beg from the water won't play well back in WV on the local nightly news. |

One of the most expensive moorings in the region? Where else should he moor? Baltimore - and take the Amtrak into D.C. for votes into 2AM? Maybe Alexandria, where he'll have to cross a bridge to get home? He can literally walk to work and back from that cheap little houseboat. But yes, I'm sure the West Virgninians are horrified the greenpeace activists from Morgantown drove in and harassed Manchin from kayaks for days. |

Haha, I agree. I think it's the same person that came up with the "Be Best" campaign. |

I prefer that my Larla have access to good quality childcare so she doesn’t have to drop out of the workforce to care for others like I and many other women have had to. I would like my Larla’s Larla’s to be able to go to college without relying on family wealth. Also the evidence shows that states who ended federal unemployment supplement early did not see improvements in employment. The shortage of workers is due to the virus - people who can’t go back to work because they have LOng COVID or are dead, who are caring for other family members or who no longer view low pay without sick days or vaccination mandates as acceptable work conditions. |

| I guess the real question is whether the progress wing would be OK with $1.5T - $1.7T reconciliation bill. That’s probably all we can get sometime in December. |

Lots of ways to go to college without relying on family wealth. Your Larla's Larla could go on an ROTC scholarship if she cannot get an academic or need based scholarship. Rather than going away, perhaps your Larla could help her Larla and let her live at home. And, of course, Larla's Larla does not have to go to an expensive private college. But, I do have a question: If your Larla's Larla goes to college and flunks out because she doesn't go to class, who is paying for that? I'll answer for you--the taxpayer. And, I would hazard a guess--like all things when you have no skin in the game--this scenario will happen more often than you think. Research housing and 235 and foreclosures. None of your own money involved? Just walk away. |

Nope I say kill it. It’s times for the corporate master to get their puppets in line and vote yes. |

One of the ways to counter that is to add in a clause that if the recipient of free tuition does not graduate with a degree, then the money will need to be reimbursed. IF someone wants to cut short their college career, they can transfer to a junior college and get an AA degree or similar to avoid paying back the money. But corporations do that all the time. They specify that if you take training and leave in less than a given amount of time (usually a year) after the training, that the cost of training needs to be reimbursed to the company. The same can be done for public college assistance. |

| How about no. Scrap it all. We do not need to be paying for more useless college degrees at any point. |

A) not a yacht B) I live a few blocks away. It’s not that glamours. You ever go to cantina marina? It’s nice now, but not that nice. It’s like a fake little Vegas feel in DC. C) where are you from? You obviously are talking about things you don’t know about. |
