General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

I could have had my student loans dismissed because I am disabled but I refused.

 

[Jacob Fox]

I have been making payments

 

[Chris]

I qualified for 20k forgiveness last year before the Republicans blocked that. I was going to pay off my remaining 15k as a lump sum if that went through to be done

 

[Butters]

Filthy republicans

That was BS

 

[Jacob Fox]

Rich people get federal loans dismissed all the time

 

[Chris]

Yeah my mom still has some in her name too bc they were split about 50/50 between us and she would have gotten 10k herself. Pretty sure she's not even paying until they send her a notice and they haven't despite payments resuming for a year

lol the PPP loans during COVID were crazy, the stories about people being caught don't even cover the half of it. Every business pocketed half that cash, some were just dumber

Yup, but it's UNFAIR for students to get loans dismissed

ABC is saying voter turnout is extremely high and might be record highs

 

[Chris]

My old company had to use a portion of the giant loan we received for payroll for it to be forgiven, and it was actually higher than what payroll normally was but instead of giving any kind of bonus bc we were living through a pandemic, the billionaire owner put himself and his wife on payroll, and then paid themselves more than any other employee to meet the minimum

 

[Chris]

Forgiving 1M loans for him clearly hurts taxpayers less than forgiving 20k for me tho

 

[Jacob Fox]

Yup, it makes sense in Wonderland maybe

 

[Chris]

He's the kind of guy to come in bitching about gas prices and democrats hurting the economy bc they're so high...but he charges all his gas purchases to the company so the he, a billionaire (this is not an exaggeration btw, he at least was when I was there), does not pay for gas while we all do

 

[Jacob Fox]

Democrat early voting was down but with the amount of people at the polls today, that could explain why. I think it could be like when Obama was elected... voting on election day in an election that may make major history means something
