Another day, one other “existential crisis” dealing with the planet.
Have you observed these existential crises are coming at us sooner and sooner nowadays, no less than in state-run media?
If it’s not a warmth wave, it’s a chilly wave threatening to wipe out humankind. If not a drought, a flash flood will suffice as the newest portent of doom. If it’s not the polar bears going extinct, it’s the penguins.
As at all times, the emergency – and the panic — appears largely confined to Democrats and the non-working courses, however I repeat myself.
This week, it’s simply not Hurricane Lee threatening all life on earth. Another existential disaster looms for the Tattoo-American group.
I refer after all to the tip of the three-years-plus “moratorium” on paying again student-loan debt. The deadbeats haven’t needed to make repayments for greater than three years, and haven’t been accruing curiosity on their debt, however now the tip is close to.
Literally. The… finish… is… close to.
Just ask them.
According to the Wall Street Journal, there may be “Payment Shock.” The Globe says the deadbeat hippies are “stressed.”
Seriously, you need to take a look at a few of these sob tales, if just for just a few chuckles. Once once more, it might really take a coronary heart of stone to not chortle.
Do these goldbricks notice how they sound, whining about their… pupil loans?
One 39-year-old interviewed by the WSJ stated he had “lost touch” with paying his apparently onerous $171-a-month invoice.
“It’s like a whole new bill popping up!” he stated. “It’s like a distant memory.”
Who amongst us who paid our personal (and our kids’s) methods by means of school wouldn’t need a few of our personal adult-type payments to turn out to be a distant reminiscence?
Among them, credit-card payments, hire, mortgage and automotive funds, property and excise taxes, utility payments, child-support funds, alimony….
Oddly, Americans with these sorts of payments haven’t gotten three-year holidays from paying again loans they freely took out.
The loans had been taken out as contracts. The Constitution says contracts can’t be abrogated, however so what? Democrats don’t want no stinkin’ Constitution any extra.
So even after Biden and Pelosi each admitted they’d no energy to “forgive” pupil loans, they then determined it was okay. It in all probability helped them within the mid-terms final yr.
But when the Supreme Court informed them to knock it off, the Democrats determined, to not obey the regulation, however to attempt to pack the Supreme Court.
However, that can take time, and stolen elections, so perhaps the hippies should make just a few token funds in direction of their money owed.
In the meantime, state-run media piles up the sob tales.
The Globe discovered a man in Newton who’d run up virtually $280,000 in debt to turn out to be… a social employee.
Seriously? This child is one other blow-in, from Pennsylvania, which is simply too dangerous as a result of round right here they used to show Latin in highschool. You might study quite a lot of pithy expressions in Latin, together with “Caveat Emptor.”
That means, “Let the buyer beware.”
The drifter doesn’t suppose it’s “fair” that he’s anticipated to pay again all the cash he squandered to get a dead-end job.
Son, let me ask you: is it honest whenever you go to an overpriced restaurant and must pay $100 for a awful meal with rotten service? Or whenever you purchase a clunker of a truck?
Is it “fair” whenever you purchase a home and its worth collapses as a result of it’s subsequent to a run-down motel that the native Democrats determine to show right into a Third World flophouse with illegal-alien MS-13 gangbangers and pregnant teenage mothers who don’t converse English who get together all evening lengthy as a result of they don’t must work and by no means will?
The Globe discovered one other sufferer who’s going to must pay a whopping $300 a month which “will take away from her travel budget.”
Maybe she ought to after all be part of the Army “and see the world.” And on the finish of her enlistment, she’d be eligible for the GI Bill. Oddly, that different by no means appears to get talked about in any of those tragic tales.
What we’ve obtained right here is thousands and thousands of Alibi Ikes, all complaining about how “unfair” all of it is. Some of them have the brass to say that the resumption of funds is a shock as a result of they by no means even knew that the feds stopped routinely making withdrawals from their financial institution accounts greater than three years in the past.
In different phrases, the month-to-month fee was so miniscule they didn’t even discover when it stopped being grabbed. But now that the withdrawals are going to renew, it’s the tip of the world.
The Wall Street Journal discovered a sufferer who “has already started to scale back on buying coffee.”
Another informed the paper “she is now opting for store-brand eggs and shying away from cereal that rose in price to $7.99.”
She added, “No more Talenti for me.”
That’s a high-end gelato, by the way in which, like one thing AOC or Nancy Pelosi would have gallons of of their SubZeros. I had by no means heard of it till simply now. But then, I went to a state college and paid my very own approach. I’m a Hood sort of man, perhaps Brigham’s for an enormous splurge.
But all these Beautiful People, who’ve run up shut to 1 trillion {dollars} in unpaid loans, are shocked… shocked that they could truly must pay again their money owed.
The Brandon administration remains to be looking for methods across the Supreme Court resolution, to bail out their core constituency, which is shiftless deadbeats.
When taxpayer teams filed a lawsuit to cease the Democrats’ newest try to preserve the handouts going, the Biden regime described the efforts as “a desperate attempt from right-wing interests to keep hundreds of thousands of borrowers in debt.”
Funny how that works. You signal a contract to get a mortgage and also you promise to pay the cash again. But whenever you determine you shouldn’t must abide by one thing you agreed to voluntarily, the creditor who needs his a refund all of a sudden turns into a right-wing extremist.
Please, state-run media, I implore you. Print extra of those sob tales about destitute hippies with their posh new homes and their brand-new automobiles who now they declare they will’t afford a brand new bong.
Welcome to our existential disaster, hippies!
