In Major Order, Appeals Court Blocks Student Loan Forgiveness And Lower Payments For 8 Million Borrowers - Lemmy.World

The lengths people will go through to stop something that hurts nobody, but helps many always astounds me.
Someone has to pay. Whether that is distributed to many or a few, a lot of people lose a little or a few people lose a lot. Someone has to lose something for someone else to gain it in this scenario.
If that’s the case, why is college so much cheaper in other countries? Why is it just the U.S. where education cost has skyrocketed?

No one is suggesting the colleges lose the money. They already got it. So what does their gouging have to do with it? Even if they had to pay off the loans, it would hurt them. Maybe they deserve to be hurt, but giving back money you thought was yours still hurts anyway.

What a bunch of bizarre responses.

What does their gouging have to do with it?

Everything. The point you seem to be missing is that college doesn’t actually cost as much as U.S. institutions are charging. They’re ribbing people blind, and that needs to stop.
