Healing is realizing you also hurt people, even if it wasn’t intentional.

Student loans is a tax & theft. Forced to pay 9% of your earnings over 25k which is not a graduate wage & you will never pay it back because of the interest. Effectively those who dont have wealthy families to pay it back quickly will forever earn 9% less. Its theft & a scam
A report on the interest paid on student loans. As Sophy Ridge says, its staggering. To people who say we can't afford to scrap student loans or write off the debt (we can), why can't the loans be made interest free?

I really hope us Plan 2ers are vindicated in my lifetime. We were well and truly shafted.

If a financial institution sold these loans at this scale and then changed all the terms after the fact it would be a national scandal and someone would be in jail
The next government needs to figure out a way to freeze all interest on Plan 2 student loans. The current situation is egregious and there is no way these were sold properly. Bare in mind it's teenagers entering into these loans as well that will massively affect them for life.

PSA: If you live in the UK you can get a library card with which you can get a PressReader account that gives you free access to all national and many international newspapers, magazines, and so on. Many people have totally given up on the mainstream news, understandably, but

Ah, well, the thing is, when I said we should "circle back to this in the new year", you have to understand that I genuinely thought this day would never come. I thought holiday forever

Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal. Based on the events of the last 24 hours, any country can strike Israel, go in, and “capture” Netanyahu and his wife from their bed. And the media would describe it using exactly this language. Because, apparently, that’s allowed now, right?

So basically the UN is useless. Anyone can commit international war crimes and absolutely nothing happens. The whole world can know you are committing war crimes and can't do anything about it. If you protest, they arrest you. What is the solution?

There’s really no difference between America’s invasion of Venezuela and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. There are no good guys in geopolitics just competing interests.

The Iraq War was a test for how much Western governments can get away with in modern society. Over a million Iraqi civilians killed, +7,000 U.S./U.K. military and contractor civilians deaths and millions spent… all for a lie that no one was punished for. The mask has been off
It’s refreshing how they don’t bother to bullshit us about freedom and justice any more. Yes, we are getting rid of the Palestinians so we can build hotels on their land. Yes, we are collapsing this government so our companies can loot their resources. This is what it always was.

More disturbing than price discrimination based on “willingness to pay” are wages based on “willingness to work.” Below, a former food delivery app dev claims that fares are dictated by a “Desperation Score.” The more desperate a driver is for money, the less they get paid.

Big sis on TikTok said, “There’s no reward for being a low maintenance woman.” and that is absolutely so true.

My new year resolution is the opposite of cutting people off. Instead, I want to make a million friends, experience life and make genuine connections. I want my phone to constantly ring because friends want to hangout with me or talk to me.
