Excellent, glad that's going to be the case!
Now, out of curiosity, how and when will you punish yourselves for stupidly voting for this?

"We will remember..."
Narrator (Morgan Freeman): They did not, in fact, remember.

These fuckers were all "dOn'T tAkE oUt LoAnS yOu CaN't RePaY" while they stole billions in Covid loans and got them forgiven without question.

"we will remember.."
No you won't. You'll very quickly blame the people you don't like while listening and supporting the jerk offs who screwed you. At this point it's your nature.

Shouldn't those indebted college students reject DEI initiatives to level the playing field with better skilled foreign workers? Can't they just pick themselves up by their, uh, bootstraps?
Effing idiots.

u/Philthou 2d ago
Just pick yourself up from the bootstraps. I mean you’re against DEI so welcome to the level playing field. And don’t worry these foreign workers will win out because they will take a lower salary.
But don’t worry with all the mass deportations that will happen plenty of farms will be looking for help and will hire you without question. Just a body to work.

But... they didn't remember. Trump did this with Betsy DeVos. She sat on her ass when it came to approving Borrower's Defense (My school was shut down after many MANY fraud cases). At one point, her administration said I hadn't applied, which was a lie.
I fought and wrote to various politicians for 15 years on predatory student loans... We finally get traction and they did this.
It's time for my "Fuck you, got mine" now.

MAGA voters don't remember anything. They're freaking out over voting for him despite these exact same things they're complaining about happening last time.

I'm not so sure if this belongs here or a different sub, since I have a feeling that this guy at least is only using student loans to try to manipulate his voters and get them to get mad at Indian people and doesn't actually care about the loans themselves.

Agreed.
They only take up arms against the current outrage du jour as a tool to spread their fear, outrage & bigotry as they've been conditioned to do, it's not a bug it's a feature.
Pointing this out to them is rarely worthwhile as it's often a good time for them to crank out some whataboutisms and shitty rationalisations or just get straight to the gaslighting or arguments "I never said that"

To me, it sounds less like "Education should be more affordable," and more like "All immigration bad."

Most of those H1B visas go to people who are not white. When they realize how racist the U.S. is they will opt for someplace more tolerant.

Let's not forget the LGBT+ people who won't want to move somewhere they may be persecuted for their identity. Or the women who won't want to move somewhere they may be left to bleed to death if they suffer a miscarriage.

How long before they all start telling each other to get jobs in the federal government (you know, those workers they despise) because they're only open to American citizens?

I immigrated to the us via h1b. Thankfully my employer was great but yeah you can only work for that sponsor. It is like servitude.

I love this so much b/c I’m Indian and Indians are the FUCKING WORST pick me motherfuckers in America when it comes defending their conservative affiliation.
BTW, Biden used the PSLF plan, a republican plan BTW which they never fulfill - to forgive the loans of over 1 MILLION PEOPLE. But sure America. Conservatives are the economic populists.

So they just figured out that millions of people have been making the investment in themselves, as they were told would be prudent, and the job market only to find jobs sourced out to cyber and real sweatshops? So that job that was supposed to be there which would pay enough to repay loans barely covers living expenses?
Is that what you’re realizing now?
You’re realizing when they said “service jobs” they meant convenience store service?
Nah, just a bunch of libs getting philosophy degrees amirite!

This has got to be my favourite leopards eating faces in a long time. I just love to see it.
When you can't decide whether to be more anti-education or more racist... turns out you lose either way.

u/callmefreak, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...
