“I miss my work friends” is a reasonable response to WFH. It’s not a compelling reason to force anyone else to return to the office.

I’ve never made a friend at work and never really wanted to.

1) It isn’t up to your coworkers to be your friends.  Make friends in other ways. 2) It’s still very, very easy to have a connected, collaborative environment remotely.  I built an entirely new team during the quarantine and using the tools available ensured they had a robust team culture and were able to feel very…

Now now he didn’t just take other people’s money, he had plenty of money from his daddies slave run emerald mines in South Africa.

The guy is a joke, and it depresses me how people think he’s some sort of genius.

elon musk is a modern day snake-oil salesman and we need to stop giving him money and attention.

Exactly this right here. I’ve also paid well over my original balance in interest and have made almost no dent in the principal. The “income-based” payment plans they sell you on when you’re broke and/or fresh out of college feed this bottomless machine because they have you pay just enough that interest keeps…

YES! I have zero problem paying what I took out - it was helpful! I got a career out of it! I’m very lucky and actually love my work! However, I’ve paid $135k against a $110k loan and still owe $150k.

“you will be able to easily pay this off after earning your 4 year degree”

Young college-educated folks vote enough.

So, you’re just a regular ol asshole that wants things to just stay the same because you pulled your bootstraps hard enough so you think everyone should do the same.

This is an intellectually dishonest take and that’s me being generous. Earning money off of borrowed money is free money. No longer having to carry a debt is not free money.

What kind of Nate Silver style “in my head but not in reality” analysis is this? We saw in 2020 how energizing Democrats led to a great turnout and won Biden the election. If you enrage the liberal college educated Democrats, they will sit out the election and Republicans win just like in 2016.

I knew Chuck Schumer would continue to be useless

I’ve always felt like this is a reasonable compromise that you could probably get bipartisan support behind - the government still gets some money back and borrowers can actually stand a chance to pay them off. The problem isn’t the loans themselves, it’s the absurd interest rates. The increased tax revenue from…

The unfortunate reality is we Democrats will lose the working class vote if student debt is cancelled.

“It’s Unacceptable That People Are Still Worrying About Their Student Loans” Or if they can keep themselves fed and housed and medicated even when working more than 40 hours a week.

because tricking children into high interest loans in the name of higher education isn’t the same as you buying a home or car as an adult with your rate determined by your credit score. 

Boy, I can’t wait until 2024 when I’m forced to choose between a president that doesn’t give a shit about anybody under age 60, or a president that doesn’t give a shit about anybody under age 60 AND wants to turn the country into a theo-fascist state. Hard choices!

But who’s gonna think of the for-profit student loan lenders and their shareholders?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
