Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

President Biden has long believed that college should be a ticket to the middle class

oh shut the fuck up. middle class is such a fucking dated term and it only ever existed to make less poor people feel better are than the very poor.

The Biden-Harris Administration

I feel like calling things the President-Vice President Administration is new, or maybe i wasn't paying attention before.

She has negative charisma, the more exposure she gets the less popular she becomes

can't do it too fast, think of the economy!

even smaller is the percentage of affected borrowers, 125000/43000000 = 0.003*100=0.3

Nah, most of these have been, "whoopsie, a couple thousand boomers and X-ers were supposed to get IDR-ed out but we "accidentally" "forgot" to do that" fixes.

They're acting like they're giving forgiveness but they're actually just counting off the amount of automatic forgiveness for people who have been eligible for forgiveness for a long time. Some of the old servicers that quit the game were not actually granting PSLF or IDR forgiveness and just stealing money from people. The new servicers are basically just not being allowed to do that, and it wouldn't have mattered who the president was, all that happened was contracts expired in 2021 and 2022, and new loan servicers have always been required to inspect and report the status of their loans. They're reporting long-forgiven loans as forgiven, and Biden is taking credit for that.
