    Why fuck them? I’m out of the loop. Why do you think you shouldn’t have to pay back a loan?

        Not sure what that means. Don’t take out a loan if you’re not going to pay it back though

            I find this interesting. By all accounts it seems it is unavoidable but to pay it back, so I am really curious how you plan to escape it. College prices are certainly predatory and this whole thing is awful, I just haven’t seen a real solution for those suffering. It seems like the new slavery to me. Is there a viable escape?

                Honestly, if millions of people banded together and just refused to pay the loans outright, and went on strike from them, it could cripple the money lenders

                All the people here screaming “but they will garnish your wages!!” keep forgetting that it only works that way if there are a few people at a time who can’t pay. The whole thing falls apart if enough people refuse to pay.
