I never want the left to win again just because I dispense the idea of them getting their student debt fetus deletus'd
student debt is dumm anyway
Exactly
They choose to take it
it's just pretending it's not state funded
Wipe it all out ideally
when it totally is
You take a loan you fucking pay it
Or at least remove the interest
Yeah remove the interest
The funding model of the universities needs reform. The student debts are a collateral, largelly insignificant part of this larger issue with academia
Leave inflation though
Yeah, for ten years or so not a single private student loan has been given out
And the government loans are not dischargeable via bankruptcy
that is more or less true across the west by the way
We don't know how to properly fund our higher ed
not what size do we want it to be
nor why
Yeah but your a cunt if you take a loan planning to default on the debt
That's why universities are so broken
The government pays for everything, so the universities have bloated their administrative staff by several hundred percent and dramatically boosted their salaries
I'm okay with them defaulting if they lose their degrees
they also waste money on buildings and programs that are worthless lol
just force universities to have a price below x
Yeah because it lets them get more funding imao
or else they wont get any loans
or other public funding
The moral question of weather it is OK to clear their debts is largely insignificant in the face of the overarching problems here
well
you are focusing on remarkably unimportant detail
first thing
would just be
to get public funding
out
of private universities
Yeah but the whole "let's hire a dozen people for a total of $3 million a year and run a department whose job involves nothing besides demonizing white people" thing has spread pretty far and wide
You can change it for the future without paying off everyone else
yes, but universities are seen by gov as a power asset in their great geopolitical game
