  • There exist loans that are intended to never be paid off. Usually the lender says something like “you don’t have to pay until you graduate!” but they neglect to mention that the interest still accrues for four years, so no matter what you pay it will always be interest only payments.

    Combine that with an inability to get a job in your field (lawyers and drs especially) and you have an entire generation that will never have the ability to pay off their loans. Plus the debt can’t be discharged in bankruptcy so some people can never truly be free from debt. ETA: this is no longer true (thanks Biden!) But still the point remains: College should be free.

    Your attitude is pretty toxic. I’d suggest you familiarize yourself with the situation before you go victim blaming like that again.







  • I mean for one thing I didn’t enjoy being correct. I would much rather have been wrong. But this wasn’t an “accident”, this was an observation that billionaires do not face any consequences for their actions, and the system is rigged to keep them in power. This was noting that the judiciary is stacked in Donalds favor, that Donald, the republicans, and even the wider government is corrupt to the core. Fascism is a rot that has taken hold in America and Donald is just a symptom of that.

    I think we can repel these evil forces, but its going to take a lot of resistance and effort. Gone are the days of progress and simple change; we now need systemic changes at all levels of government just to get back to where we were 30 years ago. Socialism and progressivism is the answer, but I have no idea how we could possibly implement it here.
