Like, from a conceptual standpoint, there's no such thing as keeping a promise

I'm sure that is not the case, but it is a strong point of racist propaganda.

Many cultures do not have DEBT in the same way, but they all have words or promises or obligations of other kinds.

Usury is what we base our economy on and both the Jews and the Greeks outlawed this practice in their civilizations perhaps with good reason, and it is of great concern that we depend on it in ours. Perhaps the Zulu also do not practice Usury.

The Jews never outlawed usury, they only outlawed it between dealings with other Jews.

You know; racist double standards.

The intent was for it not to exist, because for whatever reason they decided it was bad. Same with Greek society.

Back to the student loans. Since we're in fantasy land making trillions of dollars I dont
see why they don't go ahead and delete the student loan debt too.

I cover mine and my wife's and it is not a significant burden though it is something in the back of my mind always itching a little bit.

I think it will be popular with the youngsters so they may hold off on this policy until later in the term to prep for re-election?

Just like trump won the house and senate and presidency, Biden has his chance to show that his party doesn't want to accomplish anything. We weren't in coronavirus world yet though so it isn't apples to apples, but still.

Its nice when they don't have excuses.

Did you know in the zulu language, they don't even have a word to describe an obligation?

they don't really have a good word for "earn" in indonesian either

there's phrases tho

"get money"
"have money"
"produce"
"create"

this is infinitely more interesting than what we are talking about

[Mblake81]

here is a fun fact

[Gustoo]

Produce and Create are good.

Earn may be rooted more in being "granted" something say from a serf-lord or something.

Definitely OT.
