Forty-five million student debtors need to see this and get very, very loud," the Debt Collective said.

    They want indentured servitude. The reason they want to make this illegal is that airlines will have people sign contracts for “free” education in exchange for abusive work commitments. If they forgive student loans, then these airlines can no longer force people to stay in their jobs… also don’t be surprised that it is Democrats writing these laws. Just look at what Biden did when it came to railroad worker unions.

    First it will be airlines, then it will be schools trying to force teachers into indentured servitude.

        Biden worked with Sanders and gave the railroad workers everything they asked for

        Categorically false. The NLRB worked with the unions to achieve SOME of their completely reasonable asks but not all and nowhere near as much as they could have gotten if Biden hadn’t told Congress to take away their most effective weapon and force them to fight with one hand behind their backs.

        It just didn’t make headlines because it happened like a week after the media decided to move onto something else.

        It made it into the body of countless propaganda articles giving Biden undue credit for the work of the NLRB and not giving him the blame he’s due for taking away their right to strike, though.

        For all his “middle class Joe” posturing, when push comes to shove he’s on the side of the rich people and industries handing out legal bribes to him and his buddies every time.

        The media doesn’t like to report anything positive because it doesn’t get clicks
