I believe they've burned their own building down. Now they can play victim and the blame-game.

Student loans, even when used properly, are essentially designed to keep you in debt

Absolutely. It's the new indentured servitude. Conversely, I believe education should be free or very low cost as it is a betterment to society.

I'm also with you on CC. Fortunately I do well enough, but I live within my means and pay it off each month. I put things off I cannot afford until I've saved enough for it. Or I just do without. If they had layaway, I'd do that since I grew up with that sort of thing.

Oh, I quite agree. Reading through it (again) I had many mental pauses saying to myself, "That's where I'd die." An incredible feat for sure.

"Rogozov had intended to use a mirror to help him operate but he found its inverted view too much of a hindrance so he ended up working by touch, without gloves.

As he reached the final and hardest part of the operation, he almost lost consciousness. He began to fear he would fail at the final hurdle.

'The bleeding is quite heavy, but I take my time... Opening the peritoneum, I injured the blind gut and had to sew it up,' Rogozov wrote. 'I grow weaker and weaker, my head starts to spin. Every four to five minutes I rest for 20 - 25 seconds.'

'Finally here it is, the cursed appendage! With horror I notice the dark stain at its base. That means just a day longer and it would have burst… My heart seized up and noticeably slowed, my hands felt like rubber. Well, I thought, it's going to end badly and all that was left was removing the appendix.'

But he didn't fail. After nearly two hours he had completed the operation, down to the final stitch."

“See you in court!”

 

Sad news. Way too young, but no cause of death listed as of yet. I feel for his family.
