What if you have had COVID and are on the backend of the availability list, but need the money now? What if you can't take the vaccine for a legitimate (not just out of fear) reason? What if the vaccine is delayed to your area because it's a lower risk area, or doesn't have the appropriate storage equipment? etc.. Its the same with this moronic idea of "forgiving" student loan debt. What if you were diligent and saved for college so you don't have a loan, but your buddy used his "student loan" to take a spring break trip to Figi? What if you don't have student loan debt because your parents lived like paupers for 4 years to help you get through? You get the idea.

If you get a degree in 13th Century Asian Art you’re on your own. Especially when you graduate and blame capitalism for you not getting a job. Most college students should be in trade schools anyway.

In Georgia, assuming you have the grades and do the work to keep them there, and you live at home, public college is basically tuition free thanks to the Hope Scholarship. There are fees and such but anyone with a part-time job could afford it. The first thing that needs to be done is to fix the loan program to begin with. "Back in my day" a student loan could not be more than the cost of tuition, room and board minus any financial aid you were receiving, and it went straight to the college, not to you. Any additional funds went back to the lending institution to reduce the loan payment. At least, that's how the one in my financial package, and those of my friends, worked in the late 1970's.

'Free' college or university isn't 'free' - it's paid for by the taxpayers. If you don't have kids or aren't going to college, what percentage of your wages would you be willing to give up to send someone else to college?
Lots of pro and con arguments but I don't think there's a good way to make it 'fair'. The world's not 'fair' and never has been. I don't know what the solution is, or if there's a good one.

Personally my parents didn't make enough to qualify for parent salary-based financial aid but were I guess you could say lower middle class. So they required me to work outside of school plus every break (summer, spring, winter breaks full-time). I also had to get scholarships on my own pretty much. I was also responsible for my apartment rent (they did help with that from time to time if my bank account was close to 0 and I realize a lot of students can't even get that kind of help). I don't personally think anyone else should need to do that. But on the other hand I do think that just outright forgiving _everybody_ would be a joke to all of us who did work hard to support ourselves and our higher education.

First jab is planned on the 8th December, someone in Wales will go down in history, hopefully for all the good reasons.

I guess my issue is with the use of the word 'free'. JC might be 'free' to the student, but it's paid for by taxes, which is other people's wages, time and effort. I think that 'subsidized' is a more accurate word. Years ago my wife, who's in the health care/medical industry was giving a talk to some high school students. One of them raised his hand and asked her 'What do you think of free health care', and she answered 'There is no such thing as free health care' and proceeded to ask them some questions. None of them really had a concept of how it worked - it just sounded good, like 'free ice cream'.

Sorry to get us off track on the education thing guys. I really only meant it as an example, but should have known better as this isn't my first rodeo (and fall off the bull).

My ancestors (father's family 150 years or so ago) is from Wales. Maybe it will be a distant cousin.

As for distant cousins, my wife is really into this sort of thing, a few years ago we had our DNA mapped through Ancestry.com. We now get updates of cousins, once, twice, thrice and more removed from us.. I was sceptical until last Xmas when my cousin (lives out in Canada) was visiting, I showed him the Ancestry app as someone with his name was showing up as my first cousin.. Turns out that his kids had bought him the DNA test kit for his birthday, he spat into a test tube, put it in the post and forgot all about it!! I suggest you give it a go, who knows what you will discover.. |
