From where I stand, the messaging was to go to school. Get a respectable job at a big company. Have a great life. Build a family. Retire.

But now it's becoming more and more clear that the messaging is, no that's for baboons, buy property, be your own boss.

I feel like what Ive seen is the people getting jerked around and IMO it makes me want to get real mad so Im always surprised nobody else cares.

I mean the college loans folks are still screaming at the clouds, they were all promised this message. Surely they are ready to flip the system upside down? I dont get it.

What I don't get is the folks who paid off their loans but oppose forgiving those loans for others. Very bucket of crabs mentality. "I had polio, and now there's a free vaccine!? Those kids should suffer like I did!"

Not that any president is gonna forgive the heaps of debt, so it's all hypothetical. Biden can't even come up with free community college, much less x out oodles of meaningless debt

It just feels like an invalidation of work. For example the rank 14 grind in WoW was one of the worst grind’s possible in MMA history, usually requiring 16+ hours/day playing for ~5 months

Then eventually afterward, blizz made the rank 14 gear buyable with honor points as currency. It was outdated by then so not best in slot, but once everyone could buy it, the people who had put on all those hours felt their work kinda invalidated

That’s kinda a bad example bc it was a good deal of time later, it would be worse if it happened like the next week after they got it when it was still best in slot

It would be seen as invalidating to those who put on the work and unfair to the next generation who was going to sign up for college next year, unless it was a re-occurring thing every year and then costs just went way the heck up. And since money is infinite in this scenario why not just give it to everyone, every year, including those that already paid theirs

I always wanted this set but knew I would never get it since I suck at pvp. No big deal.

Yeah pretty sweet

I got the r14 set and while it was cool (one of the only particle effects on the shoulders at the time), I didn’t like the look on troll as much. When my char would jump (which was always, I was a jumping spaz), the shoulder spikes would go into the side’s of my char’s head….

r14 was pretty easy to get if your server organized it. You just had to be #1 on server honor, so we'd take turns getting highest honor. I only went to 13 since I was a priest and only cared about the mount, but our guild probably got 20+ r14s.

It sucked hitting honor cap for the week though and having to play alts.

I mean, if the compromise means I get a check I wouldn't be opposed to that, but my college debt was only like 17k total

I get why they might be miffed I suppose I just think education is a good use of tax dollars, and not a $100m F-35 that sinks into the sea

As long as we are still using currency, anyways, but the form of utopia without it is a long way off, if our species even makes it long enough

The other issue if it is passed by this administration is a potential conflict of interest

If we are going to assume that there are more older republicans than younger, then it is more likely that older people who have finished college and paid their loans are Republican. Plus people without college degrees have a higher % of republicans

So we have a Democrat-ran administration say we are giving free money to a particular age subset of a particular form of higher education, one that happens to have a Democrat majority of utilizers. And older higher educated people and trade-school or non-higher educated people can go F themselves

It sorta sounds like a favor returned. Thanks for voting me into office, thanks college staff for having a Democrat majority, we’re going to incentivize as many people as we can to buy your service and not your competitors (trade schools, low skill jobs)
