I hate to say this but fucking good. Throwing random people in Gitmo wasn’t enough to piss the people off to do anything, because the only thing that would be enough is when they fuck with everyone’s money.
I hate the “fuck you I got mine” attitude so fucking much.
You have more hope than I. I seriously do not think Americans will ever do anything. Too many people have been indoctrinated into obedience.
I seriously doubt this will be enough. A whole lot of qons were very grrrr, mad when Biden talked about loan forgiveness for the same reasons, really (“fuck you I got mine”) and many qons never went to school.
The average person just needs to fall under a certain level of comfortability for all hell to break loose.
Unlike Hitler, this guy cant ‘fix’ the economy by going to war because any war big enough to bolster our already over bloated military budget would immediately end in MAD.
This isn’t a reason to act like its all gonna be okay, but I’d like to think we have a better shot than 1930’s Germany…
Non-millenial here, also watching my payments skyrocket by 440%. Can’t get loans with my excellent credit score because my debt to income ratio is super high. At this point it would cost me less to tank my credit, go into default, and be garnished since my credit score is meaningless anyway.
299.56% for me.
And the kicker is that in the 10 years that I have paid, my principal balance has not decreased at all.
Oh, and the real treat? Since the Federal injunction, I can’t recertify my repayment information, which means I lost all progress towards loan forgiveness.
I am fucking livid.
They will almost certainly change the rules once the injunction finalizes. Call your representative and tell them what’s going on.
Good thought, and I absolutely have.
Holy shit!! I won the birth lottery be being born in Norway, and I watch Last week tonight with John Oliver weekly, read the news about what’s happening around the world, to be informed, listen to Behind the Bastards, Lemmy, local news etc., so I feel pretty informed. However, 440% increase? And the other commentary who’s paid for 10 years with no decrease - what in the actual fuck???
There are SO many property owners who could not keep their house with a 5% increase on their house loan (article from COVID years), and I remember reading about people going to the news complaining that they had to cancel one of their streaming services, and others who maybe had to sell ONE of their two cabins.
450%‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽ Why have people not revolted? How can you still be complacent? I’m so sorry to hear about this happening.
Same. Born in Belgium and I had to pay less than 1000 € for a full academic year at the University. The quality of education is good. I got a decent job, correctly paid. I did not had any debt when I started my career. What more did you get in the USA ? I would be depressed as hell to be in the shoes of that guy who claimed above that he paid only the interests of his student debt, after ten years of reimbursement.
Because apparently they won’t start collecting those new prices until December?
Educated people don’t support the regime.
Republicans always crash the economy.
Do Americans not have eyes?
How do they not see this pattern?
Damn too bad I ain’t paying shit
Can’t get blood from a stone.
It’s messed up how low my federal student loan interest rates were. I was paying my loans off in the early 2000s and I swear my interest was only like 2%!
All the better to declare himself supreme leader for life so he can “fix everything” and MAGA.
Wasn’t there a story going around about how Harvard is doing tuition free if you make less than $200k or something? lol
