PPP loans must be one of the largest transfers of wealth over a short period of time in history. So much of our money funneled into the already rich and corporations. And in classic American fashion those "loans" will be forgiven.
Fucking country is a circus.
I mean isn't Nickelback Candian? But my 10K left of Parent Plus Student loans.. Well fuck me evidently...
Nah that's alright, you guys can keep em
How bout we make a deal and just stick them on one of those gods forsaken islands in the middle of the great lakes.
Poor people's loans obviously wint be forgiven or forgotten
To be clear, the thing being talked about in the article was not a ppp loan, but a grant. There is no indication anyone, intended recipient or not, is supposed to pay this one back
Grants have rules, and it looks like these rich fucks (who never needed any of that money) just pocketed it. People are fucking losing their homes and are starving and these goddamned talentless conservative grifters are profiting from the misery.
Why would the oligarchy allow proles to have any taste of financial freedom? The point of their existence is indentured servitude...
But dare to forgive student loans or even mortgages? SOCIALISMS!
What, you spent your whole $1200 relief check already?
But student loan debt is shackled to you for life with little relief. When we fought for it we were told to fuck off by republicans. Cool. So PPP loans for millionaires are a-okay. But not the average citizen; who pays the taxes in the first place btw. Cool. Cool cool cool.
Dw it will trickle down :^)
