a sitting member of US congress is refusing to pay off her loans, and is trying extremely hard to get loan forgiveness done by the president, and is seemingly(my speculation) not paying off, even the minimum amount, as she (again, my speculation) seems to bank on the loan forgiveness happening. She drives(or was it sold?) a Tesla, but wouldnt make minimum payments.
- thathndude 4y agoBit of an outlier, wouldn’t you say? In this case, the Congressperson is essentially doing a form of performative art, to make a point.
- redeeman 4y agooh please, she isnt even, as far as I know, marketing this fact heavily. When she does performative art, it is the photo-ops down at the border, simulating arrests while protesting, or talking about how her "abuela" has no way to fix her roof in another country. Downvote away, but she simply isnt paying the student debt, and that is because she feels that it is a god given right to get it for free(aka have other people pay for it). Thus proving my point, people do not neccesarily pay simply because they are able to.
- bandyaboot 4y agoYou realize there are much simpler, reliable, and time-honored methods of monetizing a congressional seat, right?
- redeeman 4y agoobviously i am not at all suggesting that she had an ambition to take office to get rid of student debt. But clearly it is unreasonably to say "anyone that could pay off would do it"
