>There is a much better way, let student loans be dischargeable in bankruptcy and have claw backs on the colleges that got them into debt in the first place.
We should absolutely do this..

I'm paid off and I want these loans forgiven and the problem fixed long term. We cannot have an entire generation (or generations) unable to fully participate in our economy due to student debt. That hurts all of us, and it is exactly where we are.
Besides, what kind of FOMO grinch asshole fixates on something decent happening to someone else?

Reply to Mass. GOP in disarray: Party may have $600,000 in debts, misreported hundreds of thousands in spending, memo says - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
They just need to get busy pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and be fiscally responsible citizens.
Just kidding. Those vendors can write down those debts right now; they aren't seeing a penny.

Reply to Got a quote for a ductless mini split.. $48K for 1300 sq. ft. house. Too much? by EuclidsStairs
Yes, that is way too much.
You may want to consider high-pressure ducts - they are small and you can run them just about anywhere you can get a mini-split. We did this at my last house and it worked very well - cheap, too.
I greatly prefer it to having a mini-split head unit hanging around. FWIW.

Reply to Don’t ride your scooter on sidewalk by jamesishere
Riding anything at speed (i.e., > 3mph or so - walking speed) on a sidewalk is not only an asshole move, it's dangerous to everyone involved, including most especially the rider. You are just begging to have someone walk into you, get clothes lined by a leash, have a dog or kid jump into you, get hit by a car pulling out and not expecting high speed on a side walk, etc, etc etc.
Better than biking in a door zone, I guess. Maybe. But a super bad idea.
So, of course, common as dirt. Even more of a reason that it's dangerous.
