1) my favorite quote on leadership is from ben horowitz: "Even if you know what you are doing, things go wrong. [...] If CEOs were graded on a curve, the mean on the test would be 22 out of a 100. This kind of mean can be psychological

the core problem with college loans is that they are non-dischargeable. this means that no matter what the student's ultimate financial situation (long term unemployed, finances wiped out, etc) they still have to pay down the debt, and
