"Cancelling student debt will help a shit tonne more workers."

I will feel terrible if that ever happens for folks that were smart with money and didn't incur tons of debt. It's gonna be a real bummer when you learn that you paid off your educational debt or never had any and that now you get to pay off debt of others that made bad decisions.

I, as someone with no outstanding student debts anymore, would be ecstatic to have universal student loan forgiveness. It is the right thing to do, and part of being a conscientious citizen is advocating for issues that help society, even if they don't help yourself.

Have you considered reaching out to some students or grads with debt and writing them a check to help them pay off their debt?

You're describing me.

I agree emotionally. But that's life, if you actually believe in education you can only really pay if forwards...

What a shitty attitude.

"bad decisions"

Imagine thinking that earning a degree was a "bad decision".
