Love your work, always, but, on student loans, hate to say it, but, you're out of touch. I went to school the past 5 years (and I am 60) with (much younger) community college nursing students, and they were almost to a person, working 1 or 2 jobs single moms (or dads), with kids to support, working 24-7 - from millenials starved out the housing market to up and coming poor kids trying to get into the middle class working like crazy, trying to cope with skyrocketing apartment prices, food prices. And they are doing nurse tech jobs which are EXHAUSTING - and working their butts off to become nurses - another EXHAUSTING job. Many of my fellow students were working full time as nurse techs, doing their college work on the side, barely able to pay rent and take care of their kids, while paying tuition. IMHO, from what I have seen, y'all are a tad insensitive to this massive demographic of folks who (unlike me, in the 1960s-1980s received massive support for college education - remember the GI bill? and tons of federal aid? And reasonable prices for college tuition?) have been hung out to dry by society, the economy, Reagan, the neo liberals and everyone and everything else that's going on, and could use a break, right now, because it is very very hard to be a young person in America, right now - just saying.
