Reminds me of the student loan forgiveness nonsense in the US now days. We’re supposed to forgive one generation’s debt, but not another’s.

Yeah student loan forgiveness is a terrible idea. They should just be made dischargable after 10 years.
I've had it with the "they will immediately discharge the debt after graduation" meme. Yes, just add a delay and let them rot on the streets if they are that cheap. If people can't repay their student loans within 10 years then it was a bad deal to begin with.

Also don't forgive debt or lost opportunity incurred by people of the same generation who were more frugal and careful.

Or better yet. Sue your school for a refund. Why make the rest of us pay with our tax dollars?
Hypothetically, even if we did collectively bail out a bunch of liberal arts majors, I would still want to see an extensive shuttering of half the country’s higher education institutions for hoodwinking so many people out of their time and money.
