ParticipantShould, but…probably won’t .
Doesn’t seem right to never be able to discharge tuition loans.
Maybe if people forfeited the degree? No license?
I mean, why be able to discharge a quarter million borrowed to start a failed pet grooming biz, but not a quarter million borrowed for law school tuition? Assuming u forfeit the degree.
Stay on the hook for borrowed living expenses.

ParticipantIt’s going to difficult to burst the education bubble because the GOV is gonna keep lending and the kids are gonna keep lining up to take the money..
There’s going to have to be more stories of long term impoverishment to get students to think twice. And there will always be a dumber student waiting to take the smarter guys loan and seat!
Not sure how it ends.
It’s so wrong to be signing up 18 year olds fOr this type of debt. The draft is relatively humane in some ways.

ParticipantMaybe in some sense investing in a professional degree is an inflation hedge like housing. A degree from 15 y ago costs 3 times as much to buy today.
Not sure the analogy holds up.
The asset dies with you.
Maybe a liquor license would’ve been better.

ParticipantHere’s a side note that seems grotesquely unfair. There’s something called moral fitness and character application u need to pass to get licensed to be an atty. in Ohio a student failed that test because his job plan didn’t involve making enough money to service his huge debt.
As if he had turned down the big bucks job for the low paying one!!!

the debt loads are truly staggering. i know young people carrying in excess of a 200k in student loan debt. who may have a hard time finding a 50,000/yr job.
keep in mind that this debt is NONDISCHARGEABLE in bankruptcy. it is there forever, till you die.
any kid who applies to law school and pays sticker price (around 50,000/yr at many schools) and borrows to live is truly not thinking about the reality of it all.
on the other hand, i can remember borrowing a big chunk of change and being told i was an idiot.
it’s wrong to lend young people this much money,s since they are thinking, hell, they wouldn’t lend it to me if things generally don’t work out for people…
and I have nothing now anyway, so what the hell!
it truly creeps me out.
just checked; tuition at my school is 3x what it was when i started. golly.
but if you go to this inexpensive school

live at home, and work, you’d be outh there debt free easily…
that’s what I’d want my kids to do if they were so inclined…

ParticipantMy personal plan for the future involves growth; that is thick slabs of personal muscle. And denser bone. Thick powerful steady growth.
A plan for the global future doesn’t have to be based on growth. But it seems like we aren’t into that.
I think my kid told me that even if everyone was limited by law tO one kid population wouldn’t trend down till 2050.
He was reading some book on a world without people.
I think growth at current rates of people probably not good.
People don’t keep growing your squat has a limit. It may be high but it’s limited

ParticipantI have never had visible abdominal muscles but I will by the end of this year. I blame junk food.

Participanti’ve come to the conclusion that although the end is near, the time scale is pretty long, and “near” probably means sometime after I’m dead.
the primary focus should of course be on building personal strength and power in the time we have.
may has been an incredible month, the best of my nine months lifting. the focus is amazing. the squat jumped up to 205, a 35 lb gain in one single month. highest gain in a month for me. 205 was done vigorously and commandingly and confidently yesterday. I see 250 by early summertime and I am hoping for 300 by year’s end.
No alcohol. Sweets have been eliminated. Basically it’s no booze, no sugar, nothing but nuts, meat, salads, fruit and protein powder.
Although the world is falling apart, we can control our selves.

ParticipantThere is no debt jubilee for student loans.
If young people are the future the future is in economic chains.

ParticipantSpring is all leg nothing to do with shoes.
Shoes lie to us. They deceive us as to imPact and foot placement.
They hurt us.
Lately been using unshoes.
Unshoes are a custom cut 4 mm piece of vibram flexy rubber and a couple straps sewn in simple huarache style. Like a flip flop w a blackstrap.
U can feel the earth.
I despise running shoes. It’s a big giant lie!!!!
