10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Can they call it a bailout instead of debt relief? That would make it more popular with Congress.
Why don’t all those with student debt just form a corporation together? Then they’d be too big to fail and require a bailout.
Can't you buy medical debt for a fraction of what is owed from collections agencies? Can a bunch of people do the same thing with student loan debt?
Yes, and John Oliver once did a segment on Last Week Tonight where they bought and canceled some debts to prove it.
Too bad the Venn diagram of the ultra-wealthy and people who would actually do that is more or less two distinct circles.
It still won't help. They know anyone who has student loans to repay isn't rich.
Tell everybody they're bailing out the banks and everyone will get on board yesterday
They will need to say it is an entrepreneurial bailout to make it seem business related.
Every republican reading this:
I’m raising your rent since you’re not paying your student loans right now
But I don't have any student loans.
Ah-hah! That means you have extra money at the end of the month for savings that should go to me!
That's weird since I just got an email for a "payment due" on 8/15. It is so fucking exhausting to try to keep up with all the bajillion different "payment plans" and if you don't choose the right one based on all the misinformation out there then fuck you, you don't get the tasty breadcrumbs we're leaving in hidden corners.
I am so tired of my student loan payments changing or being threatened to change all the time. Just tell me how much I owe you each month and leave me the fuck alone. I need to focus on budgeting groceries.
Since he’s on his way out he should do what the people really want.
Turn the post office into a bank
Lift cap on SSI tax
Legalize weed
Close tax loopholes
Medicaid for all
Stop real estate investors
End lobbying
Publicly financed political campaigns
Supreme Court ethics rules
And that is only listing a few of the many problems this country faces. Just as a quick out the door executive order. Like DeSantis does
