What gives? Biden still planning on trying to give debt relief or sis they quietly bury this?
loans were paused for another half year while the court blocks the cancellation
dammit, I resumed payment in September so now I'm stuck paying it. I missed the extension news.
Uh I don't think that's how it works. Pretty sure you can just go back to not paying until the pause is up.
You can stop now I think! If it the federal kind that is paused
And that's what he wants anyway, because if he wanted to do it he would've just announced he was cancelling it, framed it as some faux 'wealth redistribution' or 'reduction in poverty' and taken aggressive action instead of having the "we need to watch what the courts do" shtick
I remember when some on here were unironically doing the "you gotta hand it to him" for this BS that was obviously never gonna go anywhere from the start....
If this doesn’t cancel people’s student loans i think that there is going to be a lot of mass shootings of powerful people happening. Lmao. :joker-amerikkklap: america #1!
It’s up to the chudges now so almost certainly we will lose, and if there’s no resolution payments resume June 30
That's true, but according to this it seems like the consequences would still be pretty serious: https://www.fastcompany.com/3060400/what-would-happen-if-40-million-americans-defaulted-on-their-student-lo
A couple of other thoughts I have on this:
-
It at least seems easier than organizing a general strike, since all you would need to do is convince people to stop paying their bills. Once they get over their fear of credit being hurt, that would be easy, but overcoming that fear is a big challenge.
-
It doesn’t need to be limited to student debt. A general debt strike that includes student loans, credit cards, medical bills, rent, etc. would be absolutely terrifying to the people in power, I’d imagine. Even the threat of something like that would probably be enough to rattle markets and cause damage.
-
The only real response to this coven of demons but let’s be real Brandon is spineless
The politically savvy move would be to give everyone the money, and then make the right wing ghouls claw it back
:biden-the-thing: God could my dad drive a car
everything that libs have used for "look, Biden is doing things!"
has turned into things Biden absolutely isn't doing
:shocked-pikachu:
