I thought it was blatantly obvious that I am aware of that, and cool with it no less.
I'm not saying nobody should have their debt relieved. I'm saying I am more than comfortable holding my resentment towards the government for failing me and my fellow constituent. And that even if some other constituent is happy with this move, I see it as too little too late. I avoided higher education explicitly because I refused to submit to their bullshit system and shoulder inescapable debt without any guarantee of recuperability. In doing so, I passed up on coubtless opportunities. I am allowed to be angry that my wise decision now looks pointless in hindsight.
I did not put myself at the disadvantage-- my government did that for me. And I am mad about it. I will continue to be mad about it. I won't do anything about it. But there may come a day when the government compels me to do something. And I will have valid reason to tell them to kick rocks, if that is what I do choose to do. I owe them nothing.
edit: also, if anyone dislikes my attitude or approach-- that's too bad, because I'm long past the point of caring. When I was given a raw hand all the way from adolescence, I took it and used my spite about it as motivation to obsolete any disadvantage I had to come out on top and as close to unmovable as one could get. The spite kept me from killing myself and went on to mold me into a dangerous son of a bitch Silicone Valley would fight over and AI CEOs gripe that they can't replace. I have unspeakably cozy job security and don't ever have to worry about my future. And I have only my spite and tenacity to thank.
