No. If we continue to make educational debt non-dischargeable through bankruptcy, then millennials should be doing more to avoid paying back their loans (in an attempt to break the system) if they cannot secure a good job.
Baby boomers get to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars on their homes and walk away scott-free, but heaven forbid we forgive 40K in student debt for someone making 13$/hour.
We love to express the sentiment that business owners do not owe the working class anything. And that's true. But somehow we gloss over the fact that the working class does not owe their masters anything either. Owners are not entitled to cheap wages. We're all in this together...and if not, then many people say 'fuck it I'm doing what's best for me!'
Expecting people to act in the best interests of society is a wholly stupid notion. If you want people to do what's best for their neighbors, then you must make it semi-convenient to do so.
