Student loan forgiveness is a complete non-starter for me. It rewards a certain group of people who happened to graduate at the “right” time, it ignores the underlying structural issues and reasons of why there is so much student loan debt in the first place, and is a complete handout to mostly white, middle class, families.
Plus, let’s be selfishly honest. No one paid for my student loans other than me. Yeah, it kinda sucked, but there is absolutely no reason why others can’t do the same.

I dont think "right time" is a good argument. Nothing would ever progress. "I lost fingers in the factory, it would not be fair to put safety conditions in now"
However you are right, loan forgiveness doesn't solve the problem. In fact it would create more loopholes for the rich.
