Now will Mohela be able to pull this off? WAIT AND SEE

Hot Diggity! posted:Hell yeah another $7.4 billion in student loan debt cancelled by Biden: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/apr/12/biden-student-debt-cancellation-plan I found this calculator a few days ago and was talking about it with my friend who just had PSLF knock off the last bit of his loans after ~3 years of 0 payments. We greatly enjoyed doing 'what ifs' of debts some of our friends have with 4-600k and then talked about feasibility of using bankruptcy to get out of the tax hit at the end. https://www.studentloanplanner.com/free-student-loan-calculator/ It's pretty fun that they included present value, because that matters a lot for figuring out SAVE v PAYE. I'm going to need to share this with a lot of my younger cousins who are still figuring it all out.

Pardon my ignorance but isn't most of the announced relief due to 2007's PSLF program + the various cancellations for debt to go to awful schools? Or are these numbers including the rolling interest that is being cancelled each month for people on SAVE plans? I don't really know how the SAVE plans work - presumably the government isn't paying the servicers the interest monthly, and I guess the servicers would be placing the interest into a separate bucket that gets waived without a tax penalty.

You have to look at politics like it's a classic horror movie. The Republicans are the guy in the mask with the chainsaw. The Democrats are the guy saying "Instead of driving away in this truck, maybe we should hide down in the unlit basement with the skulls and stuff, behind the wall of knives, he will never think to look for us there".

Prior to the Biden admin only 7k people had received debt relief since PSLF's 2007 inception (pretty wild stats of the program can be found here: https://educationdata.org/student-loan-forgiveness-statistics). Allocations that I've been able to locate are as follows: -$3.6 billion for SAVE plans, which were created last year (approx. 207,000 borrowers impacted) -$3.5 billion for approx. 66,000 income-based borrowers -$300 million for approx. 4,500 PSLF borrowers Hot Diggity! fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Apr 12, 2024 |

Allocations that I've been able to locate are as follows: Thanks, that's useful. PSLF makes sense though - a lot of my friends graduated in '08 and had half private, half public loans and could never get on IBR plans due to that, so they just paid for ten years and didn't get much, if any, forgiveness. It was the grads who started taking loans after '07 (so graduating in '10 if law students), and then immediately found good public sector employment, who were able to avail themselves fully. Especially because of the undergrad disbursement cap vs the unlimited gradplus situation now. I'm surprised at the 66k income-based borrowers and am going to dig into that. A large part of me is suspicious that a huge amount of debt cancellation may be on loans that have long been in default and aren't being paid, so not really helping anyone, but I could easily be wrong. I think I"m also reading the numbers wrong, or giving too much credence to nonspecific numbers, because of things like this quote:A total of 476,631 students had their loans forgiven, either in part or in full, through federal forgiveness programs prior to 2021. Implying 3/4 of debt forgiveness was due to disability, except the second sentence doesn't have a time frame. And the second/third could share overlap, but adds up to more than the total. trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Apr 12, 2024 |

Had a fun meeting this morning to go over a case where we'll probably need to get a protective order to remove information because there are credible threats to kill the social workers and others involved. Learned some new things too. Now I'm off for the afternoon and took Monday off too since I've been hella stressed over a project and need a little long weekend to reset.

Qwijib0 posted:if that were the case, the administration would be going Right, exactly. They had a broad forgiveness program, but it was struck down as not properly unauthorized, so now they’re doing the legwork of doing a bunch of more tailored forgiveness programs in places where the legislation more clearly authorizes forgiveness. It’s slower and much narrower, but it’s the only option without Congressional support, which can’t happen without a majority. We can never know what’s in someone’s heart of hearts, but looking at their actions is more important anyway, and the Biden administration’s actions have been consistent with earnestly wanting to forgive a huge amount of student loan debt.

FizFashizzle posted:Is the fallout show worth watching? Trying to not spoil anything: Honestly? Nah. By the end theres more than a few hanging threads and things they should have explored that just get dumped to the wayside and abandoned and any attempt at social commentary with the vault dwellers being the rich kids descendants and the raiders / everyone else being the poor is pretty badly executed and I can't decide if it's meant to be a wink to the audience or its just badly done because it's done badly. The main love story if you wanna call it that is so wooden and devoid of any kind of chemistry through. This is the sort of stuff I wouldn't have thought made it out of an early table read because they both just look uncomfortable in a way that doesn't seem like a direction choice. Reminds me of some of Richard geres late work where the supposedly romantic scenes are kind of awkward it takes you out of your sense of suspended disbelief and that's kinda hard to recover from. Its not poorly written, more just very shallow, though it is relatively well executed at certain times. Walton is a joy to watch in anything and he owns in this too. That being said a lot of his flashback story is just kind of there for him to flex his chops and doesn't actually provide context to his character. Like the flashbacks in nope about Steve yuens character informs his motivations pretty specifically. Goggin's ghoul/actor just doesn't, really at all. Part of me thinks there was some heavy handedness from someone, somewhere because there's some really cool set pieces and some of the set design is nice in parts but I found myself getting very easily distracted a lot going "come on" for just a lot of poo poo every episode. So I think there was a good story there somewhere but it got pulled apart and they doubled down in the wrong areas. If feels a little like they rushed to film what they had and settled on going for sizzle over steak. I get what they were going for with the 50s sitcom vault dweller optimism juxtaposed with the supposed brutal reality of post Apocalypse but it never really does anything beyond use it as a goofy joke set up, just over and over and over again. So it just becomes a little one note because thats the same well they return to, every, single, time. The satirical elements are kinda cute at first but become a little grating if you're binging eps. Starship troopers worked because in part it had the right beats to hook you in, fallout kinda misses the drum a few times trying to do the same thing but it might be because troopers is like an hour and forty minutes long and the series is about 8 hours. So the ultra clean surface with filthy gory underbelly trope just continues forever. Basically if you've seen the first two eps with the 50s music, violent montages, the aw shucks vault dwellers getting shitwhipped by their reality and the occasionally snappy witty comeback you've seen the show. The plot just meanders until it's time for next montage/vault dweller slap/isn't this so zany guys! Scene and repeat. The main lady is great though. Does her best. My best analogy is its like ordering a whole lot of your favourite food, eating a third of it and craving something, anything to cleanse the palette. Same way with walking dead's whole "people are the worst" is all they had and all they could imagine. If the "love" story was better done and the fish out of water stuff had more to it other than guess what's behind this door (it's violence and 50s music), then it probably would have been real good but instead it's just kind of mid. If you're a big fallout fan there's enough to get you through though, if not... you'll probably find yourself asking do I need to watch the rest after a couple eps.
