  • I was gonna make some joke like “is one of them ‘being pressured into taking out a predatory loan at age 17?’”, but then I went to actually read the article, missed the “Continue Reading” button, and mistook the list of “Trending Now” links at the bottom of the page for the qualifying factors… I was very confused as to why:

    1. Your 50-year-old mom building a $1.3B startup
    2. Being a 29-year-old making $125,000 working in tech without a bachelor’s degree
    3. The value of bitcoin being ‘halved’, or
    4. Nvidia stock prices soaring over the past 5 years

    Would qualify someone for debt forgiveness. Hell, I was confused why your billionaire mom would let you take out student loans to begin with. I thought billionaires loved nepotism. And who’s this guy with student loans without a bachelor’s degree? Needless to say, I had assumed the whole administration had lost its mind.

    (“being pressured into taking out a predatory loan at age 17” is not, explicitly, one of the 17 factors.)
