As someone who paid off student debts as quickly as possible 10+ years ago...am I supposed to feel a great sense of unfairness? Because I don't ๐คท
I mean I do. I'm not gonna lie about it. It would be prettttty sweet if I could have the depressingly gross amount of money I dumped into paying off my loans. But I also have no problem whatsoever with this move. I'm all for it. This whole "things sucked for me so it must suck for you too" thing I've seen too much of recently is exhausting as hell.
We can improve. It may not be super fair or feel great to those who already got screwed over by things in the past but that certainly doesn't mean we can't fix things so future people aren't screwed in the same way.
Same. I don't feel unfairness when they help students. I feel unfairness when they give tax breaks to corps and billionaires.
No! Any less suffering deprives the young of their birthright. We must ensure the heritage of adversity is preserved!
