      Today’s phrase is “garnish your wages.” If their protest doesn’t involve moving to another country it’s not going to happen. I’ve thought about it too, but my contingency,for that definitely involves moving to Scandinavia.

        Ah bullshit. Civil rights weren’t achieved by threatening to leave and not be the oppressor’s problem anymore, they were achieved by standing ones ground damned the consequences. No one wants to be a martyr, but that’s how battles are unfortunately won, especially against today’s brand of fascists.

        The US government: let’s enable the economy to get to the point where it’s basically impossible for young people to even participate in society.

        Also the US government: damn, why do people keep going on suicidal mass shootings? If only there was anything we could do about it.

        Ppl need to know that student loans (federal or private) and medical related debts don’t impact your credit scores nearly as much as say private loans, mortgage, auto loan, etc.
