Once upon a time, in a parallel universe far, far away, Tucker Carlson was a popular news anchor on Fox News. He had a loyal following of viewers who tuned in to hear his opinions on the latest political issues. However, one day, Tucker began to feel disillusioned with the world of cable news. He grew tired of the endless arguments and debates, and he yearned for something different. One evening, as Tucker was watching TV, he saw a commercial for a new job opening at M&M's. They were looking for someone to fill the role of the Green M&M character, and Tucker was intrigued. He had always been a fan of the candy and thought it would be fun to try something new. The next day, Tucker made the bold decision to leave his job at Fox News and apply for the role of the Green M&M. To his surprise, he was offered the job, and he eagerly accepted. At first, Tucker struggled to adjust to his new role. He had to wear a large, green, foam suit and speak in a high-pitched, cartoonish voice. He also had to dance and interact with children at events and promotions. Despite the challenges, Tucker soon began to enjoy his new job. He found that he could bring joy and happiness to people in a different way than he had before. He also appreciated the simple pleasures of life, like the taste of chocolate and the sound of children's laughter. As time passed, Tucker became a beloved figure in the M&M's world. He even started to incorporate some of his political opinions into his Green M&M persona, delivering messages of hope and unity to children and adults alike. In the end, Tucker realized that he had found his true calling as the Green M&M. He had left behind the world of cable news and discovered a new way to make a positive impact on the world. And so, he continued to dance and spread joy, with a smile on his face and a piece of candy in his hand.

There is currently a debate over whether or not student loans should be forgiven, with President Biden announcing a plan in August 2021 to forgive up to $20,000 of student debt for eligible borrowers. However, the plan has faced two lawsuits challenging its legality, and a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court is expected by June 2023. In the meantime, the Biden administration has offered refunds to borrowers who made payments on their loans during the COVID-19 pandemic pause, but borrowers may have to repay the refund amount if the Supreme Court rules against the Biden administration.
It is important for borrowers who received refund checks to hold onto the money until the issue is settled, as they may have to repay it if the forgiveness plan is knocked down. Student loan expert Mark Kantrowitz advises borrowers to put the money in a high-yield savings account to earn interest while keeping the money liquid. Additionally, if the forgiveness plan is knocked down, borrowers would be financially better off if they can immediately reduce their principal amount with the refunded money to lessen the amount of interest that accumulates.
Biden's plan for student loan forgiveness would eliminate up to $20,000 of federal student loan debt for eligible borrowers. Private loans are not eligible for forgiveness under the plan. If the Supreme Court sides against the Biden administration's plan, borrowers will still be required to pay their entire loan, including the refunded portion that was already mailed out. Borrowers will also likely have to resume paying interest on the full loan amount.
Two lawsuits challenging Biden's actions on student loan forgiveness have appeared before the Supreme Court. One of the lawsuits is composed of six Republican-led states, claiming that the Biden administration is overstepping its authority with the program. The other lawsuit was filed by a consumer advocacy group, claiming that the Biden administration failed to complete a notice and comment process before beginning the program. Biden has expressed confidence in his action being lawful, but the court's 6-3 conservative majority raises questions about the likelihood of the plan fending off the legal challenge.
The issue of housing problems in America has been well-documented in recent years. Skyrocketing housing costs, gentrification, and homelessness have all contributed to a difficult housing market for many Americans. One unexpected consequence of this issue is the decrease in the number of public trash cans in some cities.
At first glance, the link between housing problems and public trash cans may not be immediately apparent. However, the two issues are intertwined in several ways. One of the main reasons why there are fewer trash cans in some areas is due to the cost of maintenance and upkeep. Trash cans need to be emptied regularly, and if they are not maintained properly, they can become a breeding ground for pests and bacteria. As cities and towns struggle with limited budgets and rising costs for housing and other public services, some have opted to cut back on trash can maintenance as a way to save money.
In addition to maintenance costs, another reason for the decrease in public trash cans is related to the issue of homelessness. In many areas of the country, homeless individuals rely on public trash cans as a source of food and other essential supplies. While this may seem like a minor issue, it can become a significant problem when there are not enough trash cans to meet the needs of the homeless population. In some cases, cities and towns have removed public trash cans altogether as a way to discourage homeless individuals from congregating in certain areas.
The decrease in public trash cans has several negative consequences. For one, it can contribute to an increase in litter and pollution in public spaces. Without adequate trash cans, people may be more likely to leave their trash on the ground or in other inappropriate places. This can make neighborhoods look unkempt and unsanitary, which can further exacerbate the housing crisis by discouraging potential residents from moving to the area.
Moreover, the lack of trash cans can also have an impact on public health. Trash cans that are not emptied regularly can attract pests such as rats and other vermin, which can carry diseases that can be harmful to humans. In addition, when trash is left on the ground, it can attract insects that can also carry diseases.
In conclusion, the decrease in public trash cans in some areas of America is a symptom of the larger housing crisis that is currently affecting the country. While it may seem like a minor issue, the lack of trash cans can have significant consequences for public health, the environment, and the overall quality of life in affected communities. As cities and towns continue to grapple with the issue of housing affordability, it is important to recognize the ways in which this issue can impact other aspects of public life and work towards solutions that benefit everyone.
Tucson Arizona.
Local Pharmacist Michelle at Walgreens in rural Tucson Arizona takes pride in her job and nothing is more satisfying than denying healthcare to second class citizens and elderly because of insurance glitches.
"I've been waiting for this moment my entire life, " said Michelle . " Nothing is more satisfying to me than saying to NO to filling a prescription of life saving medicine for a child with cancer because of a small typo. Just seeing that look of despair on the customers face knowing their children will go without their life saving medicine is everything I've been working for. Whether it's a typo an insurance error, or something I could have spent 15 seconds of research and easily corrected, there is nothing more satisfying than saying NO and laughing about it to co-workers as soon as the customer leaves. I mean, yes Absolutely nothing would have happened to me if I filled this non-narcotic readily available, commonly prescribed medication, anyway, as this was clearly a mistake the pharmacist before my shift had made, there is nothing that gives me more joy than bureaucracy. " Michelle stated as she continued to mislabel other medications with the wrong instructions and insurance information.
Roseanne Barr may have been down, but she was never out. The Jury in San Luis Obispo County awarded her $208 million from ABC. The 12-person panel agreed with her legal team: The network straight-up stole her show.
“The good people of Sanlubop know what’s up,” said attorney Thomas Bagger, “ABC used some lame excuse to evict a good woman from her own show and handed it to the supporting cast. They wanted a liberal show and they knew how to get there.”
The producers of “The Conners don’t deny that they really liked the direction they took the show after Roseanne’s departure. “Lead writer Joe Barron really took some personal satisfaction in offing her as a pill junkie,” said Executive Producer Art Tubolls, “he thought it was hilarious that a conservative woman was the brunt of every joke for the first 4 episodes.”
They may have laughed then, but they’re not laughing now. The Jury gave ABC one week to come up with the money. A popular show in the area, “The Jury” hears cases from both sides presented by internet commenters. So far, in 207 cases, they’ve found for 17 plaintiffs for a total of $709 billion in money they’d sue for if it was them. The show has 3.2 million followers on YouTube, and this just officially became the dumbest storyline of all time.
Hopefully, this will put an end to all the “where is she now” pieces about Barr, who can take her pretend winnings and let them ride in a friendly online game at Pokerstars. Christ this went south fast.

Stressed-out Google employees in California are getting rubbed the wrong way after the tech giant axed more than two dozen in-house massage therapists, according to filings in California viewed by The Post on Thursday.
Google parent Alphabet — which disclosed last week it is firing 12,000 employees across its business worldwide — laid off a total of 1,845 employees in its home state, the filings dated Jan. 20 showed. Cuts within the state accounted for about 15% of Google’s overall round of layoffs, according to the filing.
The axed employees included 31 massage therapists who worked at various offices within the state — with 27 based out of Google’s sprawling headquarters in Mountain View. The others worked at offices in San Bruno, Irvine and Los Angeles.
Google touts the perk of on-site massages on a section of its career site titled “Googley Extras.” The page states that employees have access to “fitness centers, massage programs and ergonomic support,” among a host of other supplemental benefits.
The Post has reached out to Google for comment on whether the free massages are still available to the employees who remain.
Google made the disclosures in order to comply with California’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN requirements.
The regulation requires companies to provide 60-day written notice to state and local officials and affected employees before conducting a mass layoff.
“Employee separations at the Facilities resulting from this action are expected to commence March 31, 2023,” the filings say. Google previously said it would continue to play the employees through the “full notification period” required under WARN.
The filings provide a view of many of the job titles impacted by Google’s layoffs. The list includes employees listed as “directors,” as well as software engineers, marketing managers and many other positions.
The Post has reached out to Google for additional comment.
In a memo to staffers last week, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said the layoffs affected workers “across Alphabet, product areas, functions, levels and regions.”
He added that the cuts were necessary for Alphabet to take advantage of “The huge opportunity in front of us,” including an increased emphasis on artificial intelligence.
“We’ve undertaken a rigorous review across product areas and functions to ensure that our people and roles are aligned with our highest priorities as a company. The roles we’re eliminating reflect the outcome of that review,” Pichai said.
CNBC was first to report on the records.
