That’s an awesome idea! It would make it so much easier for people.

The idea is it would be forgiven and then education would be free or highly subsidized. It’s middle class and lower class that are hardest hit by these loans as it is. Upper class children either don’t need the loans or take our less. Yes, it’s frustrating to be customer 99 instead of 100, but, I mean, grow up. Education is planting seeds in a garden we’ll likely not live to see, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t till the soil just so the next generation has it as difficult as we did. Taxes are going up as it is, I would rather it at least be going towards something meaningful for a change. Free education. Free health care. I’m already paying for it. You’re already paying for it. I want what we paid for.

In glad you don’t have loans. Some people are not able to get higher education without loans due to a variety of factors. I don’t know why you’re comfortable calling what are likely teenagers gullible or ignorant when the loans are predatory by nature, and are likely handling their very first “adult” purchase.

Education should not only be accessible to the wealthy. Middle class America has bailed out the banks, companies “too big” to fail, even other countries. Middle class America paid for PPP loans and forgiveness. We have bailed out billionaires over and over, but college is crossing the line?

I want my taxes to pay for education. And not just education that “makes sense.” I want to pay for one kid’s gender studies with a minor in dead languages, as well as the kid going for oncology. I don’t want anyone to question getting an education because of the price. An educated society is an investment for everyone. The American people are deserving of the taxes that they pay into.

Honestly, things like that remind me how vast the internet is. There are some things that I think are just ubiquitous that my friend has never heard of before. She had never heard of Creepy Pastas. She had never seen Long Long Man. She didn’t know what an SCP was. I was baffled. Made me think about my own digital world, and what sources I may be completely blind to.

I like that “it takes a village” means bringing your child to work, and not having the support to either have someone/some facility watch your child if you chose to work, or having actual paternity leave. Nor does it mean being paid enough that if you had to just not work, you and yours wouldn’t be in the street.

How inspiring.

This is just a ploy to keep all the cool cats for themselves.

I remember telling my mom I’d make a good Spinster, just hanging out at home, doing needle work. She laughed and said, “You’re black, you’d be a slave.”
