@MrObvio34850276 @blaxtn@johniadarola No. I worked and went part time. Not sure how that matters. And from what was said, both are a choice made with consequences that are far greater than is reasonable.
@blaxtn @MrObvio34850276 @johniadarola One, it's government loans. Nobody is having to work for free, so shit analogy. Two, if we fix the system, won't those still burdened with loans be upset too? So do we not change anything. Or piss someone off? Preferably piss off someone while helping individuals and the economy
@macready_john@Kishandreth@BeauTFC Thing is,alaria is prevalent in areas that have seen, first hand, how horrific the effects of malaria are. Covid, outside of media and healthcare workers, has been hidden. We don't tend to see people struggling for their last breath. I think that makes a difference
@blaxtn@johniadarola Also, how many didn't wear masks or social distance? They signed up for the risk. Doesn't mean they want others to have the same experience
@creeker112@blaxtn@johniadarola Don't have loans. I don't need to experience a thing personally to understand reality. Empathy and big picture thinking is rarely taught in schools anyway.
@blaxtn@johniadarola You can sign up for student loans when you aren't even old enough to drink. I don't know about you, but my entire high school experience we were told college was the only way to not end up with a hard labor or min wage job. I don't even have loans, but I'm not blind.
@tashay_g @MF_Greatest They also refuse to acknowledge that many people switched to more stable work, including childcare workers. So childcare is harder to come by and much more expensive. I would be working to pay for childcare, and likely not breaking even.
