      It would be great if there was any real attempt to explain anything in your first paragraph to high schoolers, instead of lying to them that they HAVE to go to college and that a loan is the ONLY way to do that, otherwise they won’t have a future.

      I understand things are getting better in that direction for young people today, but a massive amount of the millennial generation in the US was lied to and tricked into life long debt, which is owed to people who already have absurd amounts of money and just flat do not need to siphon even more money from poor people.

      The entire thing is a joke.

      Still in countries like Germany with a mostly working social safety net you don’t have that much issues with people losging money.

      Also because some shit that is legal in the us is illegal here because you don’t want a bank to take more money from you than they already do.
