Ah yes. The old, “I suffered, so everyone else should have to suffer too”. It’s worked well for the measles vaccine.

Incidentally my college debt *is* fully paid off, and I’d be thrilled to see my young students not have to be caught in predatory forever-debt.

This is--and I want to stress this fact--fucking stupid.

Passing seatbelt laws is a slap in the face to everyone who survived a car accident.

It just shows the selfishness in our society, where no one wants to let anyone get something they didn't. Meanwhile, no one addresses the real issue. Student loans are socialism to servicers. The govt guarantees loans, lends the servicer $ at near 0 interest, then they charge >6%

The thing about making things better is that it is done so that more people no longer suffer. This is a good thing, my good dude.

Someone: *dies due to disease* Doctors and legislators: Hm, we gotta find a medicine so that we can administer it so that more people no longer die. You: Actually, a medicinal cure would be unfair because the future gen gets to live while the previous gen suffered and died!

Man, fuck this argument. “I suffered, so you should suffer too” is for frat hazing, not for government policy

It’s not even good enough to justify hazing! Which we have all agreed is a bad idea which has resulted in people dying! Government policy should not be based on a hazing mentality! Ffs!
