US stock market and economy might take some beating when student loan payment resumes after 2 years that its been stopped. 35 million current payers and 7 million people under default collections. I think interest still accumulated, so people who did not continue paying will be in a surprise.
Hahahahahaha.....
Suppose they could just take a hammer from the tools section... but I guess the hammer itself is encased in glass...
Oppression works.
Look how quickly new forms of oppression gets normalized. And people do not think about it for 2 seconds.
Give 'em bread and give 'em circuses.
For the Americans, gotta give them some guns, and that is more than enough to be a distraction.
Then continue collecting rent.
Assholes!

America used to sell goods, then it all became a physical commodity and they sold services, now its not even about the service anymore they are just selling "experiences"... the sizzle more than the steak... but hey according to "we are not in a recession" CPI metrics ground beef is the same as A5 waygu
This is what I paid almost two weeks of school lunch money for, an experience of spilling coffee all over my car because the flimsy straw wouldnt fit through the undercut lid opening....
Im loving it....
Making 100k a year in the west is borderline poverty in 2022.
