    Good. Social safety nets should only be reserved for those that were dealt an unfortunate hand through no fault of their own. The government should have no right to redistribute wealth from one group to another. Whether that’s an individual that made a stupid mistake or a large-cap corporation.

    Many people skipped college because they could not afford it. Why should they be forced to subsidize those that went to college and took on massive debt? Its the fault of the individual that foolishly built up debt. They can pay off their gender studies degree by taking a trades job (which are fairly high paying). Education is an investment like any other; it may or may not pay off. Invest wisely and don’t expect a bailout.

      I’m not living in usa. I think good decision. What is the fault of those who do not take out loans? If the loan debt is to be forgiven, other people should be paid as much as the debt to be forgiven. That’s justice.

      fuck you

      edit - honestly go fuck right off into a forest

      edit - I have a degree in marketing, have a full time job, and have been paying off student loans for the last 10 years. fuck off with your boomer bullshit. the education system is fundamentally broken and this was an attempt to at least address one of the symptoms. Angry boomer assholes like yourself lack the compassion to actually try to help people who are in a bad situation who were promised one thing (success) and were given another (crippling debt).

      So yeah. Fuck you

        “I want free shit! I want someone else to pay for my mistakes. Waahhh!”

        I’ll pay for your COVID vax and that’s it. This new zoomer generation is by far the most pathetically feeble generation yet. Still breastfeeding well into their 20s.
