“This settlement is pure capitulation–it goes much further than the suit or the 8th Circuit order requires,” Yu wrote in a statement to ABC News. “The real story here is the unrelenting, right-wing push to jack up costs on working people with student debt.”
Don’t forget the Department of Education is ALSO trying to find ways to shift these loans to big private corporations, in what is surely not an attempt to create and then short securities backed by student loans, which will obviously not have any effects on the economy.
Students*, August 2024: Harris supports genocide! Voting is a sCaM to keep the working class sUbSeRviEnT!!
Students*, December 2025: . . . Typical!
* some students, obvs. Others, less so.
You mean the administration that gave up on student loans the moment they received the first push back? Democrats also have no plan for the student loan crisis.
Genuinely not trying to be a dick, how did they “give up on student loans” but also Trump has to “move to end” forgiveness plans? Sounds directly contradictory from the outside.
It sounds directly contradictory from the inside too. Biden didn’t “give up” he just didn’t take the most radical approach that many on the left wanted him to take (including me). When the courts shut down his original program, he started to forgive a bunch of more specific but smaller groups of loans. It never totalled close to his original attempt, but it was significant. He could have tried to do the original by a different legal justification, but he never tried it, probably because it would have opened the door to even more loan forgiveness.
Forgiving the loans that are out does nothing to solve the problem though. It would just require another forgiveness in 15 years.
Agreed.
whatchoo talkin’ 'bout Willis.
Aww man I thought the Hezbollah bots had no more lemmy.world to diarrhea type from anymore.
But Harris did support genocide. It’s kinda hard to convince people that you are the one to save democracy when you refuse to stand up against something so obviously evil, especially when we never got a real primary.
Not voting Harris was a bad move, but 2/3 of the American electorate did it. Of those, the ones pissed about a genocide were the most justified. Why single them out?
I’m still unconvinced that Linda McMahon isn’t a rather convincing animatronic.
