It actually makes sense because during the covid crisis, there's been huge issues with student poverty (post high school). So giving out 300€ for 18 years old to buy video games when 1 year older students struggle hard to make ends meet is not taken well by some.
A 1 time 300 bucks given to all the students with a scholarship would be way more appreciated than 300 bucks given to all the 18 years old without distinction.
- runawaybottle 5y agoReminds me of the student loan forgiveness nonsense in the US now days. We’re supposed to forgive one generation’s debt, but not another’s.
- imtringued 5y agoYeah student loan forgiveness is a terrible idea. They should just be made dischargable after 10 years. I've had it with the "they will immediately discharge the debt after graduation" meme. Yes, just add a delay and let them rot on the streets if they are that cheap. If people can't repay their student loans within 10 years then it was a bad deal to begin with.
- tomcooks 5y agoHot take: public schools
- runawaybottle 5y agoIn what way?
- lupire 5y agoAlso don't forgive debt or lost opportunity incurred by people of the same generation who were more frugal and careful.
- runawaybottle 5y agoOr better yet. Sue your school for a refund. Why make the rest of us pay with our tax dollars? Hypothetically, even if we did collectively bail out a bunch of liberal arts majors, I would still want to see an extensive shuttering of half the country’s higher education institutions for hoodwinking so many people out of their time and money.
