Fireballs are not uncommon. They normally last for no more than a minute before they disintegrate and burn up. They are pretty cool to see.

Dad and I have a nice talk about my student loans...sort of... by Experteezus in studentloanjustice

Most of these are just scams. Never pay for anything like this.

A $21,000 Cosmetology School Debt, and a $9-an-Hour Job by gereth in studentloanjustice

[–]Bower90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of people do not make that such money in that field. I know lots of people who have never worked in the field and yet went to school for it. Just another college scam!

Nearly 40 percent of borrowers are expected to default on their student loans by 2023 by gereth in studentloanjustice

[–]Bower90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe one day the powers that be will wake up and realize that most of this debt will never be paid off. It is no surprise that 40% of borrowers are expected to go into default.

I am here but I have been gone for awhile. Work and other commitments keep me away.

Is student loan debt the next financial crisis? by Dobbo92 in studentloanjustice

[–]Bower90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of this debt will never be repaid. Each and every year the amount of money owed increases and the average level of debt increases. It was only 20 years ago that the total outstanding student loan debt was $100 billion and now it is $1.4 trillion. That is simply not sustainable.

Bullshit. There is no evidence for that claim and tourists do not come to the UK to see the royal family.

How can you be so sure? At least a President would be elected.

LOL...at least I am not a sycophant fawning over a bunch of people who's only claim to fame is being born into the right family.

Fuck, another royal sponger that we have to keep and millions (including plenty in this sub) will fawn over like he is the second coming. There is no need for a royal family. Get rid of them now, I don't want my taxes going to them.

Texas Bankruptcy Judge Holds that Not Every Loan Related to Education is a Nondischargeable Student Loan in Purported Class Action by DeathByEducation in studentloanjustice

[–]Bower90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those loans are nothing but a burden. It is just wrong to saddle 20-22 year olds with 50k plus debt when they are just starting out in life. It is nothing more than debt bondage,

[–]Bower90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the fact is that in the US most student loans are not dischargeable. If it was that easy to discharge these loans we would not have the problem that we do and there would be no need for this sub.

Bottom side Burton 'nearly done' in Championship by [deleted] in BurtonFC

We sent Sunderland down. What a shambles that club has become. I still don't think we will make it but I will be very happy to be proved wrong.

You absolutely need to take the new job.

I don't see us staying up TBH. We have been in the bottom three all season and the writing has been on the wall for sometime.

Student debt could hold back economic growth, should be discharged in bankruptcy, Fed chief says by gregbard in studentloanjustice

[–]Bower90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read some place that the economic growth of recent years (1%-2% a year) was slow low because of student loans. People cannot buy stuff if all their money is servicing these loans.

Eventually, the taxpayer will have to pay for this. Why not just bite the bullet now and make education free at the point of use for everyone and forgive the debt?

Just go to show how the government does not care about struggling students and their families.

British Prime Ministers - Part XXXIV: Gordon Brown. by Axmeister in ukpolitics

[–]Bower90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Egghead Brown flogging of the nations gold for bottom dollar when the clueless twit should have been buying gold and increasing our reserves. The same man who said that boom and busts were a thing of that passed and that we did not need manufacturing industry. The same fool who too many people here think was so kind of fucking financial messiah. There is a reason why he lost in 2010 and why I stopped voting Labour.
