Income-Based Repayment plans are one of four repayment options offered by the federal government that are calculated by how much a borrower earns
They want the poors to suffer.
There, I explained it.
Just increases the demand for immigrants to do white collar jobs.
They still want rich write immigrants.
And they want liberal arts grads to assemble electronics with tiny screws in Arizona. Or pick oranges in Florida.

I give no fucks about my debt or credit. Let’s all just stop paying back our debts to the idiot skyscraper-builders who forked their cash over.
Brace for debtor’s prison camps.
We don’t need him to give an explanation. The reason is that he wants everyone to stop talking about how much he hung out with his best friend that trafficked underage girls for sex.
This one comes with the added bonus of keeping potential dissenters (i.e. the educated) too busy being wage slaves to focus their energy on him.
I still can’t believe the folks talking about not voting kamala because they are all the same and biden did not do enough.
How many of them are astroturfing, and how many are delusional?

Yeah I often wonder that. Was any of it real or attempts to encourage infighting?
I have no doubt that some of it was real, but it wasn’t significant enough to swing an election.
Im not so sure of that. It would only have had to swing 3 very close states. It does not take much.
It wasn’t all that close. Maybe it made a difference in Wisconsin, but I seriously doubt it would have swung any others.
wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania is what it would have took.
They seem to be really quiet if not not n existent these days.
I think you’re just not seeing them. I see a ton of them.
Some said they don’t regret their vote or lack thereof
Mostly they are doubling down on it.
No shit. People spent months trying to “convince” them by shaming and berating them. It’s just human nature to harden ones stance when met with that sort of onslaught. Especially when, lets face it, they had a point with Gaza. I don’t agree with them, but the people who still won’t shut up about it aren’t helping.
Anyways, those (non)voters didn’t swing the election. It was just the usual American voter apathy because of the usual pathetic Democratic candidate. Only Biden and Harris had it in their power to do something that would have made a difference.
Why do all lemmy dipshits see fascists consolidating and exercising power and still get mad at literally everyone else? You’re all useful idiots for this admin
It’s another distraction from his having raped kids.
She looks like something you’d find in a Skyrim crypt
Unpayable debt accruing interest. What a fucking joke.
I’m trying to pay them back. I went to get them rehabilitated like they told me to. However the income info they had on file was from a higher paying job I was laid off from. So I sent in a letter for redetermination over 2 months ago. I haven’t heard anything, and I’m getting worried that they’re going to garnish my wages. They already clawed away my tax return this year.
Edit 2 wks later: they’re giving me the run around due to a technicality with my name and I got the letter of garnishment today. 🫠
I’ve recently seen an interesting opinion (in having an unusual source) on these discussions.
That without being certain it’s all real people and not bots they are useless.
Except anonymity I would still like, but honestly - at least make everyone real people.
Many solutions for that, but honestly those I like are kinda conservative. Replace the web with “automated sneakernet social media” (over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, literal sneakernet), like Briar, but global (in Briar you have to add people to synchronize anything) with some piggybacking of data you yourself don’t need to other people. Maybe some mesh routing, but on tit-for-tat basis or something like that. To somehow balance the resources occupied to relay, because otherwise it’d be overloaded easily.
