Tim, watched your pod w/ Lovett - who I stopped listening to months ago b/c I find him annoying even tho I'm a Dem. So I have a request: if it fits w/ The Bulwark mission, I'd be very interested to hear why you and Sarah are against student loan forgiveness.
I was very opposed when it was first mentioned, but now I'm not so sure b/c of various things I've heard: it's for teachers, firefighters, drs. and others in helping professions; and that some of it is simply forcing the lenders to abide by the terms of the loans.
To me, that's a very different scenario from an entitled someone who goofs off for five years at an expensive university, then gets a job which contributes little to society, and thinks he shouldn't have to pay off his debt. What I see in so many young people today is an attitude of "the world owes me" - which sends me right over the edge.
