How can you spend years paying off your student loan and still owe more than you borrowed?
Ten years ago, the first Plan 2 borrowers started repaying their student loans. Since then, graduates who left university with similar debts have found themselves on very different financial paths.
The amount you earn affects how much you repay, how much interest builds up and whether you’ll ever clear your balance. BBC Education Correspondent Hazel Shearing investigates why so many graduates are frustrated with the system and what their student loan really means for their future.

Ex-gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced for orchestrating Tupac Shakur’s murder | BBC News
Former gang boss Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for orchestrating the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
The key evidence in the case were Davis’ own words, in which he repeatedly and publicly acknowledged being inside the white Cadillac from where the deadly shots were fired.
A jury found him guilty in September of one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Davis has said he will appeal the verdict.
His conviction was the first in a cold case that has intrigued hip-hop fans for nearly 30 years.

Do you know your family medical history? For hundreds of thousands of care-experienced people, the answer isn’t always straightforward.
Missing medical and childhood information can affect access to healthcare, from identifying inherited conditions to getting an autism assessment.
In some cases, the consequences can be life-threatening, with people unaware of genetic conditions that could put them at serious risk.
BBC journalist Sophia Watkins travelled across the UK to meet adopted and care-experienced people, hearing how gaps in their records have affected their lives and what they’ve done to find answers.

Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has had surgery to remove a lower lobe of his right lung, the Vatican has said in a medical bulletin.
The 71-year-old underwent a 90 minute operation on Tuesday at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma.
The lump was first detected during what the Vatican has described as “routine checks”.
Earlier, large crowds gathered outside the hospital to greet the Pope, with some waiting for several hours. They cheered greetings and well wishes as he passed, while he waved and smiled back through the lowered back window of his car.
He was then met by staff on the hospital steps. “I’m sorry,” one of them commiserated, to which the Pope gave a smile and a shrug. “We’re here for you,” he was assured.
In its statement, the Vatican said the whole lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung was removed “to ensure the procedure was radical”.
A Vatican source told Agence France-Presse news agency that further tests are being carried out to see if there was any sign the cancer had spread.
Leo XIV announced news of his operation to the world on Sunday, without at that time confirming that he was suffering from cancer. Speaking from the balcony in St Peter’s Square after delivering the traditional Angelus blessing, he said the nodule, or growth, on his lung was “contained” and had been found “at a very early stage”, but that doctors had advised him to have it removed.
Nodules are quite common and not necessarily cancerous, but after it was examined the medical team confirmed it was pulmonary adenocarcinoma, “as suspected by pre-operative tests”, the Vatican said. It said that the pontiff, who is generally thought to be fit, had no symptoms of infection or illness.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Sarah Rainsford at the Vatican.

False. All Elections are Selections. All WEF Puppets. I didn’t realize until now. I’m 24. Why would they let us decide who gets elected? The WEF Puppets are selected regardless. All Puppets of 🇮🇱

I am an American and I love the US, I am extremely critical of it and its dumb ass people, and its useless mass consumption. But I cannot imagine a world without the US leading it. I just don't wanna live in that world.
This next election is sad, because we have dinosaur Biden who can barely walk, and dinosaur Trump who in two years or so won't be able to walk either I mean, is that all we got?

It amazes me when people try to explain the Electoral College to choose the President and Vice President, because they are totally Wrong!!! The electoral college is a civil war era creation, I would say it started somewhere between 1825 to 1850, because before then each state had electors that voted, however, Jefferson did corrupt the system, not with the 12th amendment, but during the 4th election cycle when he was the Vice President when he orchestrated the tie with Burr, which only could have happened if he tampered with the electors and their votes to place his name on one of their two ballots and Burr’s name on their other ballot, skullduggery which should have been caught by, the President of the Senate, and who was the President of the Senate, Jefferson!
The electoral process for choosing the President and Vice President is consensus choice, where those making the choice, the States, must also identify and rank the candidates, and that’s the job of the electors, the electors make a list of qualified candidates that they identified and vetted themselves, then the States lists are compiled in congress to form an aggregate ranked list of candidates and the top candidates on that aggregate ranked list, top 3 on the aggregate list for President and top 2 on the aggregate list for vice president, form the ballots of candidates that the States in congress consider and make the choice by vote, 1 vote per State, and a majority of all the States is necessary to the choice.
How we got to the totally bastardized system where the electors are superfluous to the process is beyond my ability to comprehend, but it mainly transitioned into a way for the parties to guarantee that they would raise one of their own to the presidency by controlling the ballot, which is in direct opposition to the constitutionally established process for that purpose!

But who choo the electors for the electoral college
@cardenfoy
December 24, 2023 at 8:20 am
The number of electors is determined by the number of house reps, which is not fixed, plus senators, which is based on the number of states, meaning the smaller the state the more their votes count against larger states.
