As resumption of educational debt repayment looms, more than 7 in 10 borrowers say they are taking on extra work, while half say they don't know whether they'll be able to make payments come October.
Ah bullshit. Civil rights weren’t achieved by threatening to leave and not be the oppressor’s problem anymore, they were achieved by standing ones ground damned the consequences. No one wants to be a martyr, but that’s how battles are unfortunately won, especially against today’s brand of fascists.
That’s great and all, but the government doesn’t really care how they get their money just that they get it. If they want to they will take it from your paychecks (garnished wages). The only way to avoid this is to not have income, work under the table, or move out of country. No amount of refusing to pay will change that. (mass movements/ mass striking might though)
That’s partly why it’s so worrisome. 10 years ago, it would have meant something, but now it’s too late, and I fear now it will only negatively contribute to climate collapse and cause the genocide we hope to avoid.
I think it might be too late to save the country and we all ought to get several state governments to secede… and if a civil war brews because of that, then it would at least have some semblance of a positive outcome.

Can’t garnish imaginary wages [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]
Then people will just take their checks through an LLC and be independent contractors. Or go into business for themselves. Or just revolt.
The last one is the most worrisome.
The last one is the one we need the most.

More of this. It’s time for mass protests instead of complaining and then working a 9 to 5 and browsing Instagram.

Fucking exactly.
