As a transgender man who served 3 of my 4 years of my TEACH grant before my state made it defacto if not de jure illegal to be a transgender teacher -
I’m fucked lol. I’m just going to have to work under the table the rest of my life. My billionaire ex managed to dump his credit card debt on me, so I’m fucked hopelessly. It’s entirely legal to fire me for being trans in any job. Doesn’t matter whether it’s cleaning vomit after a basketball game or working at a group home - my uterus renders me a non human.
If I do lose my apartment, I’ll make the news in the best way I can though.
I really want to keep my books. I love my books and leaving them behind would feel like death. I’ve thought about Costa Rica or a few other places. The cost of the plane ticket is unrealistic; the likelihood of getting the books over is doubtful.
I’ve realized that I probably won’t survive this administration, and I’m just going to go down fighting. I lost everything I care about, and the least I can do is try to make it so no one lives a life like mine again.
Oh there's a small minority of them and I'm sure they'll be on Facebook complaining about how unfair it is and how they're not hurting the right people.
He could raise money by taxing billionaires who wouldn't suffer but he goes after people who took out loans for education. He also looks especially toad-like in that image.
I don't know how anyone can be optimistic about this economy. This isn't death by a million little cuts. we are headed for an unprecedented economic depression.
This ain’t nazi sympathizing Reddit bro - you’re allowed to say that a treasonous Russian asset in our government deserves to be executed by guillotine, even if somehow that treasonous Russian asset is the president.
Once again I'm happy to inform you that yes, it's Ronald Reagan's fault. Damn his evil soul.
In pants shitting fear of "Creating an Educated Proletariat" Reagan took our system of basically free college and turned it into this mess we have now.
(P.S.: If you piss on Ronald Reagan's grave in California and are caught by police its a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine. I don't know about you but I can budget for this particular bucket list item)
And Reagan adopted his policies from the owner class think tanks. They worked for decades to create the conditions and people needed to realize what transpired under Reagan. 🥲
Yup, my parents paid for tuition, books, leisure, food, and board working a summer job.
I had to use the GI Bill, a part time job in fall, winter, and spring, full time job in the summer, doing almost no leisure, money I saved up while in the military, and money my grandparents gave me
When is Trump going to pay his debts for defamation and fraud he has been found guilty or liable for? How about Trump pays back all the debts erased by his six bankruptcies? If he gained money through fraud, what about the taxes he evaded?
Roughly 2.9 million people who have student loans are age 62 or older. I'm very curious as to how many in that demographic are within this defaulted status. Mostly because any change in social security benefits for a retiree is life altering and if any significant portion of that group that's defaulted is also this 62 or older group, the changes this will have a massive impact on the population. Retirees that get caught into money troubles not only brings them down, but usually the family that ultimately has to catch them from completely falling through the cracks.
If this affects retirees i hope they choose to protest with open carry in front of government buildings rather than letting themselves get homeless and starved to death.
