Student debt is locking millions of young people out of the housing market. They can’t come up with a down payment. They can’t qualify for a mortgage. All because they did exactly what everyone told them to do—get an education—and got stuck in a rigged system. #CancelStudentDebt

======================================

So tax payers get to decide to bail out student debt? or mortgages? or pay for rent control?

Or ALL 3?

What a choice.

Bail out student debt? No

Bail out home-owners who got fucked because of the lockdowns? Yes

Rent control? Sort of depends on where you live nd your salary, doesn't it?

I think the real problem is that most of them don't get anything of value for their money. There is this myth that higher education is necessary which somehow fails to mention that not all professions are actually in demand. No country needs that many sociologists, black historians and gender studies professionals.
And one can earn a fine living after going to a trade school or even finishing a relatively short course.

Gasp! You're criticizing the lockdowns? 

Just to clarify...... IF they were gonna suspend Rent payments, I said they should have also suspended mortgage payments for owners/landlords, too. Otherwise all you're doing is F'ing some people over and kicking the can down the road yet again. There's people right now screaming because they didn't think they'd actually have to pay that rent once the moratorium was over. How do they not know that 'free' from the Govt never really is free?

That should almost be a class action lawsuit.........all the people who got useless degrees that could NEVER be paid back with the jobs available to people with those degrees.

Sort of an Educational Malpractice, imo

Yes. Do not fucking pay attention? Jesus fucking Christ you're a fucking idiot.

And get the fuck off the "free ain't free" bullshit. It's fucking old, tired, and idiotic.

Your critical theory doesn't hold up.
