Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yeah, what could canceling 144 billion Dollars in student loan debt do?

Yeah that would make my life significantly better. Has that passed the courts yet?

You mean the challenge from the republiQans? That you're siding with?

Here’s how Biden defied the Supreme Court to cancel $144 billion in student loans

Yeah. Now what do you have to say. Let me guess, it's not enough.

“President Joe Biden unveiled another round in his steady drip of student debt write-offs on Thursday, announcing that 78,000 public sector workers would not have to repay $6 billion in loans. … Biden’s previous loan cancellation plan was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court. However, his more recent debt transfers rest on a different legal authority than the original, $400 billion-plus plan.”

Emphasis mine. Literally cut his own demands by two orders of magnitude because he didn’t want to pack the court. I’m very glad those small fraction of borrowers got some relief. We all deserve that.

I don't think college graduates are the primary source of mass shooters.

All this stuff is designed to sound good on paper but then what’s the real impact?

I think what I mentioned can be included under the category All this stuff as it was mentioned in the OP.
