A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/briebriejoy/status/1248339771933556736 This plan sucks. States like California already provide substantial aid through their public universities for low-income students. Even private universities do. It's like he wanted to propose something vaguely progressive without having to actually deal with the problem. It's like he compromised with the Republicans before even coming to the table.

Does the states have any wage subsidies? I know that Canada just passed one saying they'd subsidize 75% of an employees wage if the employer kept them on.

Republicans have been undermining the postal service for decades in order to justify privatizing it, this most recent crisis is just a convenient excuse to finish the job.

He thinks that USPS delivers all of Amazon's packages for free. I think I remember hearing a while back that Amazon actually was responsible for a big chunk of USPS revenue.

You mean the postal service is a service and not some profit making business created to exploit people for money, but rather help them? It's pretty much the antithesis of Trump and the Republicans.

A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/DavidBegnaud/status/1248379618370838531 So wait, I'm on the PSLF plan. Having my payments waived completely fucks up my 120 consecutive payments, doesn't it? I've been doing this for 4 years now, I don't wanna break the chain. However: A big flaming stink posted:https://twitter.com/briebriejoy/status/1248339771933556736 that loan forgiveness does release me from my own personal hell, but it doesn't help the people hit the hardest. Why are these people having such a hard time doing the right thing? Jesus Christ. All you have to say is "student loans forgiven" and you'd win over so many people.

Usually the worst part would be that you'd still be accruing interest during deferment, but interest is currently being waived during the period.

I stop reading this thread for a day because dems are a waste and suddenly there's a dude named Joey Pizza who's selling Trump quack drugs  The simulation continues its breakdown with no signs of stopping, I see. When do we get to the point where Trump steps up to the mic and instead of words the sound of a dial up modem comes out of his mouth? Because we're getting there...

Conservatives be like "The USPS? They work for ... THE GOVERNMENT. And you know what THAT means" It's self-evidently bad. And if pressed it's about "they don't have to work and they can't be fired because they're all union, that's why they suck at delivering mail"
