Now that Superman claimed me as a dependent on his taxes, the government took away my HSA and I've gone headlong into CRIPPLING MEDICAL DEBT!

Thanks Superman!

Obligatory "I'm not a vegan," but this comment seems like it's at least partially mischaracterizing the issue.

Some of the comments removed seem to advocate for a vegan cat diet that specifically includes the amino acids and protein that cats need, albeit sourced in a vegan-friendly way:

I am also not a vet (go figure) but this seems reasonable on its face and lines up with the 5 minutes of Google research that I did. It sounds like not all vegan formulated cat food actually strikes the balance cats need and that this diet would need to be balanced very carefully, but it seems possible to do it in a healthy way, especially if done in concert with a vet and frequent checkups.

It sounds like a lot of this case is going to come down to whether or not the students were actually told that the university was fake. One of the plaintiffs claims that he was repeatedly told over the course of multiple calls and months that classes would be starting and he'd get a normal course load, while ICE claims that it was made to clear to all students that it wasn't a real university (i.e. a "pay to stay" arrangement).

I obviously have my doubts about ICE, but if they were any kind of smart they should have phone recordings or emails proving that's the case. And if it is, they can likely keep the money in the same way that undercover drug busts do.
