Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And as if he hasn't been doing this throughout his entire term as president.
Or as if they all don't, and that's not how the whole system is designed to run

Im not even american, but the FTC and Joe seem a lot cooler these past few months
That's all Lina Khan. A diamond in the rough
Well, she's rough on the baddies, but she seems polished and sparkly to me.
I couldn't care less if people do the right thing for the wrong reason and I have never understood why anyone does.

I benefited from a federal loan cancellation due to hardship this past March. 35k in Staffords - poof. It was amazing.
How dare you benefit from it when other people aren't! You're required to suffer because other people didn't get theirs. And if they did get theirs, you're required to suffer anyway because you weren't good enough.
I think that's how it's supposed to work anyway.
I'll have you know I toughened up, pulled myself up by the bootstraps, and paid off a $25k loan over the span of eight or so years
...and I'm still glad people are getting loan forgiveness because I don't want other people to have to go through the BS I did. Congrats!
That's awesome! my wife didn't qualify unfortunately (lucky it's not a big amount of money) but I'm glad there are people who do and they are getting what they deserve. This should help so many out there that are in a tough position. This is what tax money should be used for, along with infrastructure, medieval bills, education, and any other thing that benefits us as a whole.
Oof, our tax money is definitely funding a lot of medieval bills :(
Wicked! I'm glad some people are benefitting from it.
I'm curious, what was your degree? Have you found work in your field at all?
Graduated >10 years ago with an engineering degree, and worked in an industry that was nailed really hard by Covid. The career was… pretty close to my field, but accepted many different engineering degrees.
He needs to go further and stop the loans all together and force these mega schools to go free if they're state run colleges. It's bullshit that these schools are fed federal/state money and then continue to paywall education for everyone.
I'm financial hardship is he going forgive my loans?
Hi financial hardship, I’m dad!

Can't wait for it to be blocked by Republicans so they can say he didn't do anything.
Or take credit for any potential benefits by claiming it was their idea and they did all the work.
