The colleges themselves should be held more accountable, I am sympathetic when people complain about how much college costs now VS a generation ago. It really makes no sense at all.
Nah man

Don't you understand?

You're a cool Edgelord if you borrow 60K and flee the country so you don't have to pay it back

Just ask Tethler

It doesn't? an aspiration turned into a standard of living. You need this to survive, automation is threatening from one side already.

this captures it well

Salk never got paid for his invention so I don't see why upper class millenials should get paid for their social media agitations.

$10,000 student loan is similar to a vaccine how? Not like the Covid “vaccine” like a real vaccine that actually does what it should.

Terrible analogy.

It really doesn’t

Just because some embittered rednecks reflexively hate everything Brandon does, it doesn’t mean incentivizing grift is good for the long term health of the republic

Colleges invest in lazy rivers and football stadiums as they cut tenured professorial positions. You are being dunked on and don’t have the MENSA level IQ of a handsomillionaire like myself to see it

I don’t think the medical syntax is important, the jist of it to me is a sarcastic “well I suffered so they should suffer too”

And I completely agree with that. They should suffer too

Because being responsible is suffering, having discipline is suffering, facing the consequences of our choices is suffering…just because something involves suffering, doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad for us

Also, it can be seen as unfair to many others

Also, it’s legal legitimacy still seems to be in question

The best counter-point seems to be finding another example of an “unfair” bailout
