    Just in time for me to get fired from my first real decent paying job!

    • It’s our fault for taking the loan
    • just get more jobs to pay it off
    • well I paid mine off in a few years back in 1998
    • other crab mentality rhetoric
    • should have gotten a Mike Roe Job
    • eat less avocado toast
    • stop eating out 4 times a day
    • get a roommate or 10
    • REEEEEEEEEEEEE
    • etc

    Did I miss any kneejerk responses?

      “You agreed to it!” Which doesn’t in an any way answer the question, but appears to be the default response to “why are predatory loans like this even allowed to exist in the first place?”

        Tbf, Biden’s weak ass attempt at loan forgiveness isn’t an answer either. It’s systemic and paying part this one time is actually probably just throwing money away. Fix it from a systemic standpoint. I don’t want empty gestures from a geriatric virtue signalling twat.

          Democrats half-assing solutions to systemic problems only for them to fail in Congress or get struck down by the Supreme Court because they don’t want to upset their capitalist overlords really epitomizes the pathetic excuse for “leftism” we have in the government.

            Fucking preach man.

            “I’m as liberal as they come” is quickly becoming my favorite phrase to cringe to death over.

            E: the mfer that keeps downvoting all these comments is as liberal as they come.

              That is false, he’s actually a thermonuclear Hoxhaist from Wisconsin

      Have you considered becoming an internet star? I hear they make good money and all you need is a camera and a YouTube channel to become an influencer.

        I could just talk trash about US politics and occasionally throw out some soft theory so I don’t get demonetized too quickly.

          Sounds like a plan. Make a few witty shorts. You’ll be handing out piles of cash to random strangers for views in no time.
