What is this horseshit? Almost $2k in interest this year and it will not even let me throw money against the principal.

    It’s actually just scummy and predatory period. Student loans shouldn’t be a thing. Imagine wanting to devote your life to helping people, becoming a doctor in a country that has a terrible shortage of doctors (And it very much does)But oh no! some crazy shit happens, and you’re not able to complete your degree. Guess what? Big government says “fuck you. How dare you have some crazy bullshit happen to you? You’re entire financial future is fucked up for your whole life now. Goodbye.”

    How in the fuck can a better educated people be worse for society? How in the fuck could you ever make the case that it’s bad to have more people trained in medicine? Why would you ever punish and disincentivize behavior that’s good for society?? How in the ever loving fuck does that make sense??

    FUCK THIS COUNTRY
