Raskolnikov38 posted:I mean more what is the stated rationale? is it inflation? fears of attacks by republicans? the “virtue” of contractual debt? All of these could be the ostensible justification, but tack on the fear of attacks from “centrist” democrats as well. I guess we’ll see what comes up as the official line over the next few days.

People buying more stuff is considered bad for the economy now. Seems funny in an ironic way but also totally insane? But I am not an economist.

Cabbages and Kings posted:I've heard it's super unsanitary to compost human poo poo for human food fertilizer purposes but I bet it's gonna be tried at scale before 2050 My brother pisses on wood chips and poops on a bucket outside and then composts it. He claims hot compost destroys pathogens and I'm inclined to believe him tbh. Why waste that sweet sweet nitrogen and phosphates? Tho his kids are definitely growing up thinking things are normal that no one else thinks is normal.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Just want to cross post this here from the Student Loan Forgiveness FAQ and Discussion thread, because several goons have reported being successfully refunded and I want to make sure the word gets out: wait I don’t understand. Are these people getting payment made since March 2020 refunded since they dipped below 10k total on their loans? Or is there something now that says now you just get back any payment you made since March 2020?

You can get any payment made since March 13th, 2020 refunded and have the amount applied to forgiveness if you qualify.

Homeless Friend posted:waiting so long owns because no doubt theres a sizable group of ppl who paid off their loans during interest free/2 years of covid wfh and such since an enormous amount of money that was going to consumption was freed up. So, if they qualified, they get to know they lost 10k-20k lol Oh hey, it me!

My current prediction is that a lot of people I know are going to out themselves as psychopaths now that a paltry amount of student loan cancellation is real and not just a theoretical idea that will never happen.

Congrats to all people that can have some of their loans forgiven, this is how it should have always been. My 2010 era state U loans are already paid off so obviously I'm doing great, but there are current and future generations burdened by usurious debt that need help. Keep advocating for reform and uh, hope that your elected officials will occasionally do something with their overwhelming popular mandate!

Look, I had to poo poo in a bucket and eat bread sandwiches day in and day out for ten years straight just so I could throw every paycheck I had into a giant burning pit called “Student Loan Payments” and it’s not fair all you goddamn kids don’t have to do the same. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to get the PPP loan for my fart piano app business forgiven.
