    Beene added that there are other options if you want to make your viewpoint on student debt forgiveness clear that don’t involve risking your financial future, like protesting and writing to your elected representatives.

    “But have you considered begging?”

      All of that relies on the belief that anyone with any significant student loans have a financial future. Most of us are so far up shit creek, give me that civil disobedience paddle.

      And when you consider that the debts are packaged into an investment vehicle, there’s no fucking way they’re going to vote on student loan forgiveness. Don’t want the value of all those securities to tank.
