i know what you're talking about in avengers but i didn't really notice it in this movie (other than tarkin)

and don't you talk shit on furious 7
this is funny because i get into arguments with my friend about furious 7 more often than i'd like to admit

by floaty i probably should have said 'action scenes that are cool but have no dramatic tension'

nobody wanted to take the job? what job was this?
If I recall correctly this was a position for a very obviously risky startup. When someone says 'nobody wants to take the job' they are really saying 'nobody with the skills wants to take the job'

a bunch! i want to say every time i was searching for a job it took a couple interviews to get back into the groove.

the more comfortable you are with the interview process, the better you will perform.

Not that I've done these myself, but the pockets of advice I have are: always tell the truth but up-play your true strengths, always rely on the interviewer to disqualify you, never assume your interviewer's or recruiter's role at the company, always mention the good things about your past employers, and never take phone interviews while on your current employer's property unless you have their support and permission to do so.

Hopefully you can imagine some interesting stories based on those pitches

Funniest interview I had was one where the interviewer started complaining that nobody wanted to take the job- right in the middle of interviewing me.

Well yeah. To be clear I don't really support it because I realize the money is coming from somewhere. But there a lots of different ways you can "cash out" the current bubble and reset things. I would obviously support a reallocation of war money to student debt though, for example.

My point is that adding a new $12 tril cost active hurts your goal of paying off the $1.5 tril so your plan sucks.
Not really. The goal of wiping away student loan debt is to move the debt burden away from the specific individuals, and move it to the us government

If doing so is actually a net benefit to the economy, then doing it for other people- and not just college students- will also be good.

If it actually isn't a net positive, why do it in the the first place?

But yeah, I'm being nit picky. Obviously handing out less money costs less than handing out more money

I dunno. Ultimately, I have relatives who went to shittier colleges because of price, and their life trajectory suffered for it.

I have friends whose parents are not going to be able to reasonably retire because they paid for their children's tuition.

I think it's garbage to leave those people out in the cold, and I think any student loan forgiveness plan would be better formed as a college cost forgiveness and opportunity cost forgiveness plan

Easy, I want to get rid of the $1.5 tril probably-never-gonna-get-paid powder keg of debt looming over the country, but not by covering it up with a new $12 tril powder keg
What exactly do you think is going to happen if all student loan debt is not forgiven? You describe it as a powder keg

Should we wipe out all credit card debt as well?

I worry you might not understand how debt works- using your terminology, we would be wiping out a 1.5 trillion dollar debt by creating another 1.5 trillion dollar debt

Is the 40k liquid cash? Do they lose access to free college? What programs does this replace?
Now you're getting into the details! I love this.

Now, is college free for an infinite number of years, or does each person only get 4? That onus is on whoever proposes free college

My point is to get at the actual purpose of student loan forgiveness. NOT talking about making state school free in the future. That is obviously to encourage education.

The purpose of student loan forgiveness is to get those former students participating in the economy. If we're doing a one time injection of cash to former college students, why not give it to everybody in that age category? It'll boost the economy and improve their lives just as much.

Can the people who has their debt forgiven go to free college again? I dunno. But if they can, so could the people who got the check, right?

You want school to be free, but you dont want the people who already went to school to get it free?

This is the thing arguments like this and LotM dont get. By your logic, every time you improve something, you are punishing the people who got by with the old system.

You are literally arguing against progress.

This is not a progressive ideology.
Wrong. How can people keep ignoring the words I use?

I think we should wipe away all state scool debt, *and* give everybody else 40k

Please, find a way to be against this and also be for wiping away student loan debt

I regret to inform you that you have invoked the Boomer Trolley Problem

Wrong- Why don't you want to give money to actual poor people?

Why only college educated people?

I 100% believe state schooling should be free in the future for a set number of years to promote education, but if we're just trying to boost the economy via an injection of cash to people who could use it, there's no reason to give it only to college students

Maybe I'm an asshole, but I think student loan forgiveness in the manner Warren is describing is horrible

It's unfairly penalizing the people who made rational decisions to go to community college, or not go to college, in order to avoid debt

I'd legitimately rather the government just hand everybody $40,000 regardless of their debt situation. Yes, I understand how inflation works
