Goddamn kids and their degrees, talking cars and whitening toothpaste. Makes me sick. I rolled my own windows down and brushed with baking soda. Pansies.

Isn't it interesting how today's snowflake has to have scraped hardwood Instead of carpet? Quartz counters instead of formica? You guys can say it cost less all you want. And it did. But don't try to tell me "Boomers" are more needy than our lazy, pompous and entitled asses.
id probably off myself if I had to have carpet

Preach. Only hardwood and slate tile with granite countertops throughout for this snowflake.

Nothing more to say to you, Sonny.


Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Bumble date to get ready for.

Personally I don’t care about countertops but carpet is gross

That’s why I went to college, to avoid carpet

I agree but what about the rampant increased cost of education


Although for the most part the professors are bleeding heart liberals that promote anti capitalist policy, they are capitalists at heart. Money supply for college students is unlimited because of the govt. they’ve seen that and adjusted their rates accordingly. All While adding worthless degree so that they can get the most if their inflated tuition costs as possible.

Take away the unlimited cash and the ability for students to pay high tuition costs goes away. Then rates come down.

Clearly, cutting back loan availability would reduce tuition. Student loan forgiveness (not complete, but based on income) should also be used. There are also too many colleges across the country, and trade schools need to become a much more viable option.

We have just about every liberal presidential candidate beating the loan forgiveness drum. If I had student debt, why not stop paying it? We can list all sorts of excuses. Tuition is too high. Banks are taking advantage of us.

Let's carry this over to home loans and car loans as well. We all agree home prices and truck prices are skyrocketing. Let's get loan forgiveness for that as well.


Or how about we start teaching personal freaking responsibility!

The average loan is less than a new truck and can be paid over a longer period of time with a lower interest rate. Nobody cries about paying 50,000 for a new car.

Privatize student loans and make the students actually go apply for it and prove that they can repay the debt when they are done.

Short the student loan market like that dude in the Big Short did to the housing market back in 2008. Make a ton of cash.
