    This is fucking garbage.

    Student loans are what kept me from being able to buy a home before the pandemic, and now they’re going to keep me from being able to afford a grave after the pandemic.

    I make decent money but everything is so stupid fucking expensive and now add the student loan payment coming back these guys just like to shit on everyone that isn’t part of the bourgeois.

      I don’t see your issue here. Is the problem that they’re only helping some people and that doesn’t include you?

        My problem is the people who advocated for not forgiving student loans are the same people who were more than happy to take hundreds of thousands in forgiven PPP loans. If they want student loans paid back with interest, why not pay these PPP loans back with the same 10% interest that we have to pay?

        It’s a farce, and no I’m not upset that people who make less than me are getting a break.im upset because the artificial cutoffs for people who are cut out of help now doesn’t mean that they too are struggling and could for sure use the help.
