So evilly & cruelly predictable that seeking a space for *always* redefine the word to mean Well Educated while simultaneously removing Higher from accessibility to the 'untermenschen'

I did some math to paint how awful today's ruling is:

There is about $1.78T in student loans at this time.

On 5% interest, it means that now $89B a year goes from people's wallets, to loan servicers on interest alone without reducing balances.

is an imperative to avoid economic suffering for those who have the least, and are about to lose more.

I don’t want to be the adult that’s closed-minded. I’ll use only if we can protect people from losing income. If you can save time with AI, you can use that time to fight for social policies that prevent people from losing income. End the war spending and use our taxes to provide , Universal healthcare & college education for all.

“But Bernie is too old”
We need POTUS to sign docs in 2024. We never needed the dog & pony show, fake speeches or photo ops that are later used to rewrite history.

“But Bernie’s a millionaire with five homes”
Billionaires w/ hundreds-thousands of properties is soooo far from millionaire. Billionaire’s should have never existed.
1,000,000,000 > 1,000,000

“But Bernie’s a Socialist”
He’s a Democratic Socialist. He believes in Democracy & investing in Social Safety Nets or Social Policies to protect the people from the bottom & up. Germany & Switzerland both have Capitalism & Social Policies.

“But US is in debt”
End the war/offense spending & stop paying for other countries militaries. War & man-made weapons or technologies has been advancing the Climate Crisis! Ignoring the Climate Crisis is costing us so much more.

@rbreich be honest.
If you don’t support Social Policies to serve the wellbeing of all kids & young adults in US, you’re not pro-life.

Centrist Dems & Republicans are not pro-life. They had 24 yrs since Columbine.

I want nothing to do w/ ChatGPT, especially while U$ invests more in war & tech for the rich over the health of our society & ecosystems.

Can we invest in Environmental & Social Sciences for our kids? Maybe listen to the educators & researchers for once.

Why do we waste time arguing about the “isms”? Capitalism, Socialism, Communism… Having Medicare For All & Debt-free college will not make the country communist.

We can invest in Social Policy or the well-being of society & capitalism will still be here. Look at Germany, they have capitalism, universal healthcare systems, tuition free college & affordable childcare.

Socialism for the rich 🤑 but not for the poor & working class.

Here’s an inclusive take on the Silicon Valley Bank collapse — It’s another bailout for the rich.

Why is it not common sense to end all wars, domestic & international, for Climate & Social Policies?

Wars & over-policing costs US so many lives. It’s counterproductive and history has proven that US ends up paying MORE for the destruction they caused.

- US War reparations.
- US aids $150 million to Bikini Atoll.
- US gives $90 million more in aid to remove millions of incendiaries dropped by US on Laos.
- $141 billion for Afghanistan Reconstruction gao.gov/blog/u.s.-spending-afg

“A report from the Costs of War project at Brown University revealed that 20 years of post-9/11 wars have cost the U.S. an estimated $8 trillion and have killed more than 900,000 people”
