News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You wean the one that required the federal government to spend money on marketing to make sure borrowers knew about the form they needed to fill out in order to allow the government to verify the borrower's income so they could decide whether they were eligible for only $10k? Yes.
Even if it wasn't blocked, it ads so many unnecessary administrative costs instead of just processing a single transaction on every account.
Even before the court's intervention, Biden has shown no interest in doing forgiveness well, neither in the amount foregiven, nor the costs of doing so.
"Only" $10k. As if $10k in relief is nothing at all.
The cost of forgiveness is not proportional to the value of the relief. $100k costs the same as $10k. The number he chose is arbitrary. It's telling he picked a small one.
You must be quite wealthy if you think $10k is not a lot of money to be forgiven.
Also, are your student loan debts really $100k? Because they're around $30k-$40k for most people. I would say 1/3 to 1/4 of the way to being debt free is pretty damn good.
Attempting to implement 1/3 to a 1/4 of a policy is failure.
You're right. He shouldn't have done anything at all to help anyone if he couldn't give you a pony.
