    Perpetuating the myth that student loan forgiveness means “your taxes are paying off student loans,” when it really means “government is telling banks to fuck off with their excessive interest rates on student loans.”

    Tax money isn’t going to the banks* or the students. The students have usually paid off the loans, and are now struggling with the interest debt. The gov’t telling the bank to give up on that debt isn’t hurting anyone, but the bank doesn’t get as much profit as they could have - and since the banks own the senators & media outlets, we get the myth that student loan forgiveness means “taxes paying off student loans.”

    *note - I think some deals do include the gov’t giving the banks some money to “cover their (imaginary) losses.”

















  • Weird that she was allowed to adopt even one child, let alone two, being so young and single. Maybe she is a very successful businesswoman & philanthropist. This is evidently why she is also still a virgin- no time for dating when running a successful business.

    I assume “as🍑” has something to do with her career. Maybe she runs a fruit preserves manufacturer? Good of her to offer to let us try out making new flavors, though I don’t know what I would add to peach jam. Maybe nutmeg?
