Up until 2008 the primary federal loan program was FFLEP loans Those 4 million borrowers did not refinance with a private lender they got their loan from an entity that issued or bought the loan from another loan originator. Those loans carried with it a federal guarantee against default. These aren't borrowers who decided to refinance with like sofi they took out a loan through the federal application for student aid like loans are today. Back when that program was around if you went to a school that use the ffelp program then those were the loans you'd get. It sucks for them
This reminds me of a thread from long ago that I think was on here. Some dude got a job offer in Altus, Oklahoma and was trying to get advice from people familiar with the area. Usually,no matter where it is, you'll hear some bad stuff that is buttressed by a few redeeming qualities like "yeah, the dating scene sucks but it has a beautiful lake". This was the first time I had ever seen unanimous warnings about a place. One dude said "if you're moving there, make sure to call ahead and clear out the rope from the stores so you don't kill yourself". It was so bad that I kinda wanna go there just to see it once.
Red state? No abortion access? Passing anti-lgbt laws? No freely recreational weed? No defining geological feature? No public transit? Weird why I don’t want to live there

If anyone was curious how all those dark money funded school board takeovers in dfw suburbs turned out.
My dad was parroting Dan Oingoboingo who had the same thing to say, that he’s sure it was the US. Dumbasses.
My “not involved in human trafficking” tattoo has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my tattoo
Not looking to deep into personal stuff but my brother passed away on Tuesday. He made a lot of poor decisions and spent 6 years in federal prison in the early 2000's. We didn't talk much during that time in large part bc I was like 22 and broke and couldn't afford to take long collect phone calls. I'm not blaming it all on that but our relationship never really recovered from that time period. For years I said I needed to fix that but put it off for this and that and now there's no more time. Huge regrets for me. Maybe it wouldn't have been any difference but not having huge bills from something as stupid as fucking phone calls could have made a huge difference in the trajectory of his life during and after those years.
