Do not pay back your student loans, they need to learn fiscal responsibility

Who the fuck loans $50,000 to an 18 year old with no job.

(The point is that unaffordable tuition is a bad idea)

Folks this post is satirical. Abolish tuition.

@BorealPedant Satirical? I'm not sure you have a handle on that. You need to point to the satire. You made a statement. Going back and adding it to it after the initial statement doesn't fly.

@Ynotisay Sigh.

- "Learn fiscal responsibility" is a line typically used on students who have troubles paying back student loans.

- It is then reflected back on the loan-providers, with a tongue-in-cheek joke about lending money to 18 year olds.

- The joke is to treat major banks as irresponsible young kids who shouldn't get their treat. "Learn responsibility".

- The political point is that the entire system of high tuition and impossible student loans is a bad idea, and should be rethought.

@BorealPedant What dog do you have in this fight? Are you one of those, "Buh buh muh tax dollars" guys?" I could go off on that for a while. Did you pay back your student loan? Did you go to college? Did your parents pay for it? If so, lucky you.
