A student loan cancellation program for public workers has granted relief to more than 1 million Americans — up from just 7,000 who were approved before it was updated by the Biden administration two years ago.
The coverage is infuriating. It would be like having headlines about Biden sending checks out to millions of households (and media like Fox News calling it an expensive handout) when tax refunds start going out every year.
We shouldn’t be treating it as special and noteworthy when the executive branch faithfully executes the laws. Instead, we should be focusing on how fucked up it is that the previous administration ignored the law and its constitutional duty in order to pointlessly screw over people.

“Biden reverses out Trump policy of denying claims under the Public Direct Loans Act” would have made for a far more accurate, more compelling, and more politically engaging headline. Sadly, we’re going to pretend he’s just doing a Debt Jubilee out of the goodness of his heart, rather than fulfilling the terms of the contract that lenders agreed to when they took lower-paying public sector jobs for 5-10 years.

It is not like this at all. Please educate yourself on this topic. If you actually give a shit.
Why should I give more of a shit about your argument than you do? You can’t be bothered to explain what your assertion is, but I’m supposed to go “educate” myself? Even if it was reasonable for me to drop everything to go do research on a topic to figure out what your point is supposed to be, there’s no way for me to ever know that I found the specific thing you’re talking about.
And I like to learn new things wherever I go. I would think that a lot of people browsing the news and politics sections of a link sharing site would be hoping to learn something. And the comments are often full of additional information which can be quite valuable.
Of course, not everyone is interested in engaging in discussion and the free exchange of ideas. Some people just get off on petty bickering and being assholes to others. And you’ve managed to distill that into its purest form, removing any actual content from the argument and leaving only the hostility and smug sense of superiority.
“You’re wrong!”
“About what?”
“Oh, wouldn’t you like to know…”
We’re here in the great information orgy, and you’re just staring in a mirror jacking off.

Your comment contributes nothing of value.

It’s not my job to fill in the gaps of your education, Internet stranger.
Maybe that’s your problem, you’re going to internet forums to learn new things.
But it is your job to post this shit?

Pardon?
So I can only post things if I’m being paid for it? You seem confused…
