Or pay off student loan debt, it's all crooked, both sides.


"Both sides" is such an absurd claim these days.

It's like saying that a murderer and a jaywalker are both criminals, so they're basically the same.


Lol I see you've never met a stallman type (ie your average hn disposition)


You’re right, the “both sides” claim really doesn’t work here.

Biden’s student loan forgiveness would have amounted to a gift of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars to his most ardent supporters: young, college educated, poor people.

Trump’s proposal is a fraction of that, and all Americans would be eligible. If he’s trying to buy votes, he’s going to need to try a lot harder. This proposal is nothing like Biden’s vote buying scheme.


Funny that you wake up and rise only now. Where was you righteous indignation when Republicans promises tax cuts? Can you point me to your contemporary reaction to "no tax on tips"? What made you react only now?


Have you missed where Trump himself and many of the wealthiest people in the U.S. have had integer multiples of their wealth over just the past couple of years?

> young, college educated, poor people

Oh yea, you're correct, who needs those? Let's feed the 0.01%.


Please beware the false moral equivalence. Both sides is a position which advantages the incumbency.

What is your intent, beyond cynicism?


Biden promised $2000 and paid out $1400, still owes us $600 each.

This looks really interesting. Thanks for sharing. I’ve already found some really good ideas here for the next version.

My focus is a bit different though. I’m trying to make the experience as simple and frictionless as possible, especially for non-technical amd old people.


I don't think they wanted black lung, they wanted jobs.


Come on - coal mining - nonunion rules for health/safety = black lung.


They wanted, specifically, mining jobs. They didn't want to be reskilled. They didn't want change. They wanted protectionism and fossil fuels and for the world to never have moved on from the 1970s or whatever golden age they imagine the commies in Washington stole from them. They also didn't want the kinds of environmental and health regulations that might have reduced black lung and other problems.

This is precisely the effect of what they wanted - what they already had, but worse.
