We were 17-18 years old, and every single adult in power over us told us to go to college, get these loans to pay for it. Now we're in so much debt we can't afford to start families, buy homes, everything the other generations took for granted. Now we're "entitled" for complaining about it.

Jamie McAtee

So do you have regrets about going to college, regrets about what college you chose to go to ($$$$), or regrets that you now have to repay your debts like all of the rest of us for our schooling?

Felisha

My parents were able to own property because it was attainable to do so; just like college was way more affordable. We aren't entitled we are just rattled with debt and can't get out from under student loans.

Jeanette Johnson

govt bailed out all the banks and car makers why the heck not

Courtney Lucas

If we send these kids out into the world thousands of dollars in debt, we are setting them up for failure. If we punish them for educating themselves this is why we have such a huge poverty level.

Max DeYoung

I won't let their foolishness, or your foolishness drive me into poverty. We are not a communist country, nor are we going to be.

Christopher Watson

None of the people living in the Projects or low income housing got there because they went to College, Keep it real.

Jeffery Schuyler

Banks and billionaires got loan forgiveness and bailouts. That students don't get relief from predatory and outrageously overpriced tuition is obscene.

Tammy Shannon

Kids at this age are so young to make these decisions and college is so expensive these days. By the time they graduate they have $50,000+ in debt and are just getting started in their employment and all ready overwhelmed in debt.

You borrow money , you pay it back. Simple

Bostino

use your brain..

Mac Kinder

Creates more entitlement and irresponsibility

Abby Normal

If you are mature enough to take out a loan, then you should be mature enough to pay it back. Nobody made you take out a loan. If your field of study/ preferred career doesn't pay enough to support you and pay back your loans, then you chose poorly. You've just learned personal responsibility.

Felisha

So because I chose social work as a career and spend 50 to 60 hours a week doing so, I should find a different career? Wait until you need a socialworker. I'm not saying I shouldn't pay loans back but there should be some Incentive working for our communities and our residents.

Max DeYoung

Felisha chose a profession that pays nothing, and blames others. LOL

Christopher Watson

I have never asked anyone else to pay my bills, they should of had their priorities straight to begin with. 1, degree, 2. Career, 3. Pay off bills, 4. buy a new car, 5. Then you're ready for a relationship/marriage/and a house.

Terre Chambers

Absolutely not. Let them pay their own bills like the rest of us have.. They have already been given too much with no payments for three years. Make them pay

Randy Burson

I'm sick & tired of people with their entitlement attitude. I took out a student loan, I paid it off. If you took out a student loan, you pay it off.

Joseph Edward Trueblood

Max DeYoung

NO, Joseph Edward Trueblood. You are too irresponsible to start a family, and buy a home. Student loans won't buy common sense.

Max DeYoung

If you sign a contract, you fulfill the contract.

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

k san

Because it is the right thing to do.

Stuart Alpert

hello

Larry Ewart

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

Carolyn Morris

Always, I Re Use Water Bottles.

Misty Schrotberger

My mom has a cow if we don't

kaycstamper

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Susan Mclaughlin

I try whenever I can.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

it's quite literally pointless if you do any research

Cindy Calhoun

It's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).

Nancy Sam

I do when its readily available at airports, malls, ect. But at our home, no. I do want that to change though.

Jimmy Lancaster

I do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live

Elaine Reed

There is no recycling program where I live.

My local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.

Eric Smith

They all should be given compensation and restitution for having their lives destroyed, many jailed without even a trial. Unfortunately, the money (millions) to do this has already went to the criminal Biden family on behalf of donations to Ukraine, via the taxpayers.

YEP!!!!!!! SURE DO, DIDN'T SEE ANY ANTIFA OR BLM ARRESTED DURING THE SUMMER OF 2020 PROTESTERS EVER DID YOU?????

Max DeYoung

Some of them had been imprisoned for four years, and had not even had a trial. Political witch trials supreme.

Because as the old saying goes you commit a crime you do the time. The only reason that they're getting off is because their president is a criminal as well and he's blind and he got away with the crime as well

Rosalind Smith

Those people committed crimes because of his urging. People were hurt and died.

Kevin Reed

It's impossible to "back the blue" while pardoning the boorish behavior of these individuals.

Linda Swiney

Àny person who entered the capitol during that riot is guilty of trespass and property destruction. Anyone who attacked law enforcement officers is guilty of assault on an officer. To blanket pardon these people is a slap in the face to the rule of law.

Candice Kundert

Absolutely not. Law enforcement officers were badly injured and some murdered. In many committed suicide after the incident. The video speak for themselves of the horror that they created on that day.
