Replied "They actually did force us. Schools were paid to get students signed up. They took us all into the computer lab and made us go thru the application step by step. Got in trouble if we didn’t. How many other ppl do you know get that excited to loan money to 18yos? Except maybe criminals?"
Replied "Yep schools charge more every year because they know they’re getting guaranteed money from the government. The textbooks rearrange 3-4 pages, slap a new edition number on it, then require students to pay $300+ for it all over again. Then you “sell it back” and get MAYBE $20 in return. "
Replied "The obvious solution is to refund those parents rather than continue to let millions suffer under the weight of predatory loans. Some have paid faithfully for years only to discover they’ve never even touched the principal amount, only interest."
Commented "Schools were paid to force us to take out those predatory loans. How many other institutions do you know of that will loan hundreds of thousands of dollars to 18yos knowing they’ll get guaranteed gov money? Knowing we can’t file bankruptcy over it? We’ll be paying off interest alone until we die."
Commented "They’ve far too often & openly violated the constitution in broad daylight. They wear the masks thinking they’ll escape justice during the next admin. Joke’s on them. Employment & banking records exist 😂"
Commented "I would prefer it but it’s unaffordable for most of the working class. Modern electric vehicles can be used as generators during power outages."
Commented "The entire Middle East is at war and gas prices rise every week with no end in sight. The cost of living is already unaffordable. Conditions will get worse. This will eventually lead to an explosion of civil unrest at home. They want WW3? Give them WW1 Russia"
Commented "They argued if wages increased then prices would too. Prices increased anyway. Multiple times economists have proven wage increases stimulate the economy. CEOs are the most useless and overpaid staff at every company employing them."
