I, like many and hopefully some of y'all, stopped paying my student loans during Covid and never restarted paying because we're supposed to have gotten relief from this debt that should've never existed in the first place. Now we have Trump coming back which kills the possibility of debt relief. So should I start repaying so I don't get my wages garnished? Or do we think the government is going to be too inefficient to come after it?

Edit: At one point when I heard that it was the only way to get forgiveness, I moved all my debt from a third party to being a government loan. Does that change anything?
