    These fossils still think that Millennials are kids. Bro, my kids are almost in high school, my back hurts, I feel this flesh prison decaying around me. I’m entering the part of my life where I’m traditionally supposed to be the most economically advantaged, and this bullshit is going to basically nuke my generation’s ability to participate in the economy, because we were all told that we need to go to college to have a good life.

    I stopped paying mine. It was homelessness or student loans. Fuck em. If they can write off billions of small business loans, they can write off my student loans. Fuck that game.

    Last month, a federal judge blocked the Biden administration-era SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan replacement program with 8 million borrowers, claiming it lacked the authority to forgive millions of dollars in debt.

    It’s almost funny how when Biden was President he had no authority to do anything, however trump doesn’t seem to have that issue as much. Almost funny.

      I don’t know why Biden didn’t just go full dictator like Trump. Dictators that do the thing I want are actually good and there’s absolutely no possible repercussions.

        What are you talking about? People emigrating (after an enormous genocide) is how this country was made!

            It’s relevant because if we go by your logic, then the entire country of USA is made by and for cowards since all of them, except for the native Americans, are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Ergo, the United States is inherently cowardly.

              That’s really strange that you think people are purely determined by their parents… Like, seriously, what?

              But sure, founded by. A nation isn’t determined purely by it’s founders. That still hasn’t explained how this is relevant to what I’m saying.

                I don’t think that. I’m just applying your logic to the reality of the United States being a nation of immigrants who aren’t native to the land they inhabit. Therefore it is a nation built by cowards. People still migrate to the US today, btw. And they marry the descendants of the cowards so the cowardly traits will never die out there.

                Or maybe, just maybe, people who migrate to another country are just looking for ways to live a free and happy life? Maybe those to move some place else have better opportunities somewhere else and they prefer to live in peace with their family rather than being potentially thrown in concentration camps or killed by their government. It is so easy to sit there and say that people who move away from an area are cowards. Just like it is easy for me to make the conclusion that all of US is cowardly because all of them (except the natives) either migrated there or descend from generation upon generation of migrants. You are correct in objecting to that conclusion and calling it strange because that is indeed a strange thing to conclude. Just like it is strange of you to conclude that those who move away from the US currently are cowards. It is strange and a downright foolish statement to make.

                  You applied a perversion of my logic.

                  I did not say all immigrants were cowards. I said “people who emigrate in response to things getting bad are cowards.”

                  You not reading my sentence in full and instead splicing it to fit your image of me is a tad annoying.

                  Effectively, I’m saying those who flee at the start of when things get bad instead of trying to stop it are cowards. If you can make a difference, you should. That’s my viewpoint in life.

                  “Going somewhere for a better life” is not what I’m against. “Refusing to attempt to stop the decay of your current space” is what I’m against. People like the leadership dems, who flop down in the face of a foe. That’s cowardice.

                  It’s an understandable thing to do. That won’t stop me from thinking they’re cowards.
