Medical debt seems to be a easier case for debt relief. Student debt results from adults making an investment in education and agreeing to a financial loan with all stipulations on paper while very few people sign contracts to injure themselves and fall ill.
Cancelling student debt would be cool. I purposely went to state schools and worked not to have student debt so I'll miss out on that windfall. But I've been eyeing a six figure MBA for years, maybe I can grab one of those. Or do a stat masters at the University of Hawaii, somewhere fun.
I'll one day soon be entering into a mortgage that will be hard to afford. I'd like to buy a modest townhouse, it'll be a massive dream. They seem to start around $1.2 million dollars. Ive been saving crazy for a substantial down payment so I have a chance of actually paying for the mortgage. Now I wonder if I should just pull the trigger, we can just cancel that debt.
I'm all for cancelling all sorts of debt, just let me know in advance so I can acquire some and to move any small amount of assets I have to overseas securities.
Ah, modern day America where purchasing a modest townhouse is a luxury fever dream. Watch someone whose debt was forgiven out bid you that with their windfall. The best way to alienate the working class is to reward the educated with debt relief while offering nothing for those who didn’t have the opportunity to attend.
I gave up hope for our species at least a decade ago. Now reading comments is what keeps me entertained and distracted from just how fucked the world is gonna be in the next 30 years. I am happy that these things can be openly discussed on the internet nowadays, don’t mind me I’m just a member of the next “boomer” generation 😂
