So, you owe 200 thousand in student loans and you payed 1000 dollars for a ticket to see Taylor Swift

and you want Uncle Sam to take more money off his money tree to help you out, is it just me that thinks this is fucked up

I like how you realize that college costs 200,000 and concert tickets cost 1,000 and your response is to get mad at young people for thinking getting a degree and seeing a concert shouldn't be fucking impossible.

@CestManan see you can’t do anything right 🤣
Neoerectus · M
@iamonfire696 $1000 concert tickets is living life for wealthy. If not wealthy, one can go to other concerts or listen to recordings. Even, heaven forbid, get out in nature. I earned Public Service Loan Forgiveness and know servicers are corrupt and inept from first hand experience.

That stated, one needs to be able to differentiate between Needs, Wants, and Luxuries.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Neoerectus Going out in nature is not comparable to going to a Taylor Swift concert so that makes no sense.

I am not wealthy but I could spend that amount to go to a concert. Would I, no but I could.

Of course it’s NOT a need, it’s a WANT but going to a concert doesn’t make anyone a bad person. Everyone still gets to live their lives even if you don’t approve of the way they are doing it 🤷🏼‍♀️

A taylor Swift ticket doesn't cost 1000$. You need to do more living and obsess less about other people's lives over the internet.

And no, posting your wife's pictures online does not count as living.

@basilfawlty89

I expect them to whine about resale prices and entirely miss on the point that degenerates don't get to define right and wrong for other people.

I honestly rather get blocked than see anymore of this clown fest calling themselves patriotic or conservative while they go about sexualizing women less than half their age ~check activity tab for reference.

But hey, this is all they have. Useless political shitchat and sexually deprived comments.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@Miram when conservative old people are sending their people, they're not sending their best. They're perverts, racists, homophobes...and some I assume are good people ;)

Jesus, what happened to just playing Bingo or whatever it is that geezers do?
TrashCat · M
@basilfawlty89 the answer is easy. The fault lies on the makers of Viagra. Now the desperate codgers are shuffling around with boners and no place to stick them

god forbid people shouldn't have a good time despite life being difficult. these people mind their own business and lives because they actually have some
@wackidywack if they cant pay, they cant play, its really that simple
wackidywack · 26-30
@checkoutanytime people are paying ?? I've been saying that for almost a day and neither of you were able to understand so but again, the reason is simply because all you see is a price tag and nothing else. I'm bored of this circular conversation. Good night
Many of us opted out bc it was not fiscally possible, you entitled punks are very disrespectful.

College is free or very low cost to students in many European and Asian countries. Their tax-payers are willing to fund education because they feel it is an essential investment in their future and their economy. I think the U.S. could learn from their example. We need to invest in our people. The cost to go to college has skyrocketed in the past 40 years in the U.S., making college inaccessible to millions of our bright young people. We are paying for that short-sightedness.

We give away huge amounts of tax money to corporations and Wallstreet in the form of bail-outs, subsidies, and tax-breaks. Also crooked military contractors loot our treasury. That is a very poor use of our national wealth. I want my tax money to go to making college affordable to low-income Americans.

@badminton the US did at one thing me. In the 1960s I went to college for $8 per semester. Then the US started moving to the right. It is now so conservative, I can't see how we will ever see the investment.
TrashCat · M
@badminton it's odd that several US red states offer 2-year college education for free or at a low cost to residents but their poluticians fight this same policy on a federal level.
TrashCat · M
What if you're, say, a congresswoman from Georgia and you have a PPP loan for $183,504, and you get it cancelled and you go out and spend $800 for a Kanye West concert ticket. Is that OK? I mean, Hypothetically of course
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@TrashCat Paying to see Kanye West is never OK...😷
TrashCat · M
@whowasthatmaskedman Can I get an AMEN?! 😜
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Yes it's just you because YOU created that scenario where there's one person who simultaneously does all these things. Trying to make a point by creating a fantasy in your head doesn't work, uncle Sam.
Young people have no respect for "reaping what you sow", they think theyre entitled its disgusting.
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
@checkoutanytime at the rate things are going, we'll be in another major war before long; see how entitled they think they are when they're getting called up for the draft... 🤣

I imagine everyone has spent plenty of money foolishly in their lives.
I know i have. I mean never to go see some corny pop princess but other things.

What blows my mind is that Taylor Swift is even still enough of a thing for tickets to cost that much.
If it were $100 it would be like "Ehhh well yeah okay maybe whatever" but a grand? 🤨
scrood · 31-35
Gotta love the welfare state
Northwest · M
In all seriousness, I'm sure you think hundreds of thousands of people fall into the demographic you describe, but in reality, that demographic is close to zero.

I'll wait now while you block me.
If they are stupid enough to indebt themselves $200K in student loans, and even stupider paying $1,000 to see Taylor Swift...then it's time to allow Darwinism to cull the herd.
Tres13 · 51-55, M
$6 billion Uncle Sam gave to Zalinsky needs to be repaid as well
TrashCat · M
@Tres13 I want every penny handed over to the Zionists in Israel paid back
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@TrashCat what?
TrashCat · M
@samueltyler2 $3bilion+ a year handed ovver to Israel with no questions asked. Meanwhile Flint Michigan's drinking water is poison and the US does shit about it. I want my fucking money back!!!
Yes because I'm sure every person that signed up for loan forgiveness is buying Taylor Swift tickets. You got a very narrow Venn diagram there.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
Shallow poorly educated people buy concert tickets to see commercial garbage like Taylor Swift, but even if student loan recipients do buy them your analogy has no basis.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Taylor is not garbage@BackyardShaman
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
@Strongtea actually I’m thrilled that you and others like Taylor, personally I find overproduced commercial artists like her to be garbage and appealing for people with a different mindset.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
You’re probs one of those dudes that turns up to a party and instantly changes the music to Dire Straights, instantly ruining the vibe but then you can talk to everyone about ‘great guitar technique’ . Over the next 30 minutes everyone else will go somewhere else, cheers mate.@BackyardShaman
Strongtea · 22-25, M
You sound old and moany.
I read that 73% of those expecting this loan forgiveness plan to spend their money on travel, dining out, and new tech.
But this is definitely a matter of life and death that clearly requires ignoring the law.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SooperSarah although that sounds weird, factoring in their use of the money, the taxes cut the deficit and helps the economy, just saying.
SkeetSkeet · 100+, F
Wtf are you so worried about Taylor Swift?
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
Well what are they going to do ask for the loan back if u miss just one payment. How often does Taylor Swift go to your state?
CestManan · 46-50, F
@smileylovesgaming probably not as often as bills for student debt
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Who is Taylor Swift? A singer? Which roles do they sing?
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
@Crazywaterspring shallow commercial artist, appeals to GOP people, andcthey of course think everyone has their tastes.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@BackyardShaman Most commercial music is crap. When Wall Street gambles the economy into recession, there is rarely a peep from conservatives. But giving a potential long term taxpayer a break on student loans is offensive to conservatives. Got it.

Nope you are not the only one. And neither is a necessity of life. They CHOOSE both.
