cancel my debt asshole
the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Then: A promise to cancel the debt.
Now: A proposal for slightly less odious repayment plans. The chuds are probably going to make sure it never happens.
Promises kept!
no more half measures walter
Just make the damn loans bankruptible
After spending so much time and effort to make them impossible to discharge through bankruptcy? Why would Biden do that?
federation turned the dunk tank into something like a crab fishing pot except for libs, this comment section is proof
thank you for letting us witness this, it's much appreciated
Love this tbh. It's so nice to see well informed dunks push back against lib takes.
Yeah I much prefer it now than before were it was just twitter screenshots of rando z-list celebrities going "The Zongler is saying that the holocaust didn't happen" or the like. At least there's some reason to share randos now.
I was listening to NPR today and some dipshit said it was a "Debt cancellation plan" then the idiot interviewer asked "But they still have to pay it all back right?" Dipshit said "Yes but with less interest so it's still fulfilling Biden's promise."
I literally fucking screamed in my car. I have almost been killed by some drivers before but THIS is what caused me to flip my shit. I was so mad that I didn't even feel bad when someone gave me a glare.
"No one is willing to take jobs that pay under $30,000 anymore"

Actually going to make a top level response on this
Hey kids did you know that bankruptcy only lasts 7 years?
If you’re under the age of 50 and you’re not exploiting this loophole for FREE MONEY FROM THE BANKS to pay off your student loans then you’re a sucker.
- Get a good enough credit score to get several high value credit cards.
- Stop spending your money and start directing your money to student loans (because they aren’t typically discharged under bankruptcy because the system is RIGGED against you)
- Pay off one card with another card. Let that balance balloon. Maybe even get some free flights from the points for a cheap holiday.
- At the age of 25-30 you’ve probably reached the point where the walls start closing in. Turn off your phone and file for bankruptcy.
- Once you achieve bankruptcy and you’ve hopefully paid off most of your student loans by directing your cash there and living off of credit cards, NOW IT’S EUROPE TIME BABY.
- After 7 years living in Spain, Greece, Berlin, or France you’ve grown as a person, you’ve probably learned a new language and a new appreciation for architecture and art, maybe you’ve also met the love of your life. Whatever who gives a fuck now your credit card debt is gone baby. You beat the system.
This sweet plan seems to include a lot of being approved for masses of credit and hoping you can pay off your un-write-offable loans (there are an upsetting number of ways debts can't be written off). But if anyone can go bankrupt and fuck over their debtees, please do.
Some people can get more into debt than others this is true, but the key point is that you should load up on as much debt as possible because that’s fucking FREE MONEY all you have to do is not need any debt for 7 years.
Do you want to join a commune? Rack up that debt first.
Do you want to live in Europe? Rack up that debt first.
Interested in being a writer? You’ll be poor as fuck anyway so rack up that debt first.
firms are incredibly willing to extend personal debt so take advantage of the fact that you can declare bankruptcy and score yourself 50,000-500,000 in the form of personal debt the banks were wrong to offer you and declare bankruptcy it’s praxis and you can pay for a free holiday just do it.
The example on the Save website shows that if your payment doesn't cover the interest, they'll forgive the rest of the interest while your principal balance goes untouched. It's so gross to see a payment do nothing to your outstanding balance.
They really did miss the indentured servitude days of the colonial era and had to recreate it at home. Go to school and have your wage skimmed for 20-25 years.
sweat to god i had to double-take because I thought it said the SLAVE Plan
That's what they'll call it as the % of income gets raised in future years
Hey college grads, this debt is actually a great lesson in personal responsibility, bootstrapping and entrepreneurship. It is time to get creative. Have you considered dealing drugs?
In the UK you only repay when your income is over £480 a week, £2,083 a month or £25,000 a year. If your income is below this, you simply do not repay, ever.
Does something like this not exist for american student loans? Am I right in assuming they just function like other loans?
I said it years ago and I'll say it again. They're going to treat it like it's a payroll tax they can cut and raise by pausing payments for the ecawnameeee.
