I agree. And I have to work hard to not have bitterness towards those people, because they have a created a perception that all who need help are lazy and entitled.

it definitely puts many at a big disadvantage because they are all lumped in together. Hurts the willingness to give by those who could really help. Something I struggle with as well

Why? I’ve never defended the lenders other than to say they are doing nothing illegal.

The responsibility rests with the individual.

That is why we constantly must have new laws.
The concept of "if it ain't illegal then by all means do it, it's none of my business" is exactly why we have to have laws.
Also why we occasionally have to rectify past wrongs even when those wrongs were "legal" at the time.

You need more laws because you place no responsibility on individuals.

I don’t need more laws.

Meh. I am upset about people taking advantage and exploiting what you would call stupid people... esp. with the help of govt in the case of student loans. As far as alleged COVID price gouging, that is a bit hairy and harder to prove, so I'm not going to advocate for more govt intervention there. But it is interesting to note that some of you feel it is justifiable to profit in some questionable ways as long as it is legal and not necessarily ethical.

How many americans are actually living on the bare necessities? Our homeless are obese and have cell phones. Clearly we are lacking in material goods.

And I could tell you why those things are, but the climate here isn't conducive to the truth many of them live.

Generally speaking your exploitation is a result of being stupid.

Again, this is a very special case with regards to student loans. If you can't at least acknowledge the one sided and corrupt arrangement the govt has created, then I'm not sure we can be on the same page.

I can acknowledge there is no way you are forced to participate in it.

FYI….our conversation got me interested enough to watch Dave Ramsay’s documentary “borrowed future” on this subject.

Didn’t change my mind. Bunch of idiots desperate to go to their dream school.

With a bunch of adults leading them and giving them that poor advice.
