Avoid marriage?
 in  r/StudentLoans  13h ago

If I was the person you wanted to marry, I’d say have to hold off til the loan is repaid. People have no idea how such a big loan will affect relationships.

U.S. companies say Canadian retailers are turning away products
 in  r/worldnews  20h ago

and Canadians woke up to the fact that their dependence on america for a good economy could just as easily tank their economy if America chose to dunk on them. And they found out it can happen, and has happened. So rather than cave, they are standing up and fighting. Good for them! and us. All countries need to fight back. Even though I am an American, I cannot accept what trump has done to other countries.

Europe to burned American scientists: We’ll take you in
 in  r/UpliftingNews  20h ago

yep. other countries are salivating at the richness of so many skilled doctors, scientists, technicians, etc that the US cut loose. Some are even offering citizenship and help in moving. it will take decades to recover, if we ever do, from this brain drain.

If Donald Trump had never won an election, how do you think the U.S. would be today?
 in  r/AskReddit  20h ago

if Hillary had won, and had her two terms, we'd be alot stronger than any other country. with opportunities for all, regardless of color, sex, gender, age, religion, etc. So much better.

Americans, How do you feel about the fact that the stock market has lost $2 trillion in value today?
 in  r/AskReddit  20h ago

don't forget, overturn of Roe, reinstating segregation, trying to push women out of positions of power and back to the home, gutting education, etc...Sane countries of the world are now writing off the US as a stable democracy. definitely no longer the leader of the free world. So they will move on without us. leaving us to be a has-been 2nd tier country. I don't expect to see that change in my lifetime. I am almost to the point of thinking china or Russia will invade us and take the country.

What would happen to student loans in a Great Depression 2.0?
 in  r/StudentLoans  20h ago

if you get forgiveness by 12/31/25, biden made it so you don't pay taxes on it. after that, we will unless a new president does the same as biden.

What would happen to student loans in a Great Depression 2.0?
 in  r/StudentLoans  20h ago

Biden had moved to disallow medical debt on credit scores and was moving to do the same for student loans. he started too late in his term so the latter didn't get done.

What would happen to student loans in a Great Depression 2.0?
 in  r/StudentLoans  20h ago

I only have loans due to being laid off after 23.years, in the Great Recession, like so many others. Lost my house. Retrained. I had paid my BS myself but didn't have the money to do the retrain. I resent having to do that. So now I am about 9.5 years into my 20 year forgiveness date. I am 68. I am going to pay the absolute minimum and let it die with me or get the write-off if I live that long. I feel sorry for you young ones. doesn't look like the future will be bright for you.

What would happen to student loans in a Great Depression 2.0?
 in  r/StudentLoans  20h ago

with republicans in charge, they won't do a write-off. they'll press student loanees to keep paying. it's possible that yet another forbearance might be done. doubtful since trump doesn't want to and congress will fall into place. I am on save and staying on it. the way things are going, it might stay in limbo quite a while.

Well yeah but…I am a retiree. Under Biden my IRA surged! Last week it dropped almost $70,000. I likely won’t have long enough to recoup.

If Canada offered expedited citizenship for people fleeing the US, what would be the reaction in the States?
 in  r/AskReddit  2d ago

how so? they just made a major long term contract with China and India for oil, gas. They are integrating with EU defense. They are a great tourist destination. all countries have inflation. per recent report, Canada's inflation rate is 2.6%. America's is 2.8%. and they are some of lowest inflation rates in THE WORLD. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/inflation-rate-by-country

CMV: The US can never have normal relations with allied nations again unless the current Republican party is dissolved.
 in  r/changemyview  3d ago

I actually don’t think the US will be able to reverse this. The maga is hell bent on moving the clock back to the 1950s, limit women’s rights,deport any nonwhites and close the door to legal immigration. Our schools are crap. Greedy rich are now running the country. Trump is trying to bully the world into doing what he wants. Canada,Mexico, EU have all said, ‘no we don’t think so.’ So they are moving forward without us. Trying to play catch up will be hard. Oh, do you know all those doctors, scientists, tech, professors are being head hunted by other countries? And they are taking the jobs? A huge brain drain of our best and brightest add to the belief we will never recover in the foreseeable future, if ever.
