@dampedspring@ripley212121 This is the best argument for the federal DOE. If you push it down to more and more local levels, you get more and more unequal funding; those who need the most support get the least.
@gawwy@fundstrat I had the same thought. Middle and high school English was about 50/50 of holocaust to non-holocaust. These numbers are probably not the schools’ fault. More likely those who grew up with the internet tend to default to skepticism.
@heyalexfriedman Buying makes more sense if:
-you’re sure you won’t move soon
-you’re bad at saving in other ways
-you have kids/pets who need space
-you can find a great deal
Doesn’t sound like many of these apply to you.
@unusual_whales If you’re making the choice now, rent. Avoid the high interest mortgage, the expensive maintenance, and the risk of home prices decreasing.
@ninaturner Why not try a different method? Instead of forgiveness, put the money towards eliminating interest and a program where the government matches payments made. It’s basically like 50% forgiveness, but conservatives can feel better about it because borrowers are paying.
