@CivilityFan @Huntn00 @gwensnyder Interesting spin on the reasons for cutting appropriations and increasing tuition. I don’t disagree. I went to Utah St. Univ from 1969-72, then graduated in 1975. Then worked on MA at BYU 1976-78, and PhD at UoAz 1978-82. Didn’t finish either grad degree. Later went back to USU for MEd degree (2006). I’ve taken out no loans, but that would be impossible today. My kids made it thru on scholarships, so no loans.

@Huntn00 @gwensnyder I attended SF State from 1969 to 1971 while Reagan with CA governor. My student loan was for $1500 and besides my college expenses, I also used it to buy a stereo (a record player with an amplifier and AM/FM radio), and covered my rent and food. The students then were demonstrating against the Viet Nam war and for civil rights, which conservatives found appalling. In the years following, they pursued the policies to raise tuition and cut public spending on higher education to cause financial pain to anyone seeking an education because those are the folks whom they know are their enemy.

Putin announced that Russian state (read: propaganda) media will start working in African countries soon: TASS, "Russia Today", RT channel, VGTRK and "Russian Newspaper".

"We suggest to prepare the grounds for creating a common information space in Russia and Africa, within which objective unbiased information about the events happening in the world will be broadcast to the Russian and African audience" - Putin said during the Russia-Africa summit.

So there is a #ukraine poster who does a lot of good works raising money keeping people informed.
Months ago he went on some rants about how some climate protesters needed to be dealt with harshly for defacing art etc.

Well, now thousands are dying around the world, preventable deaths if people would have paid attention.
Those people were willing to put themselves to the hazard, go to jail, not hurt anyone, to try and save lives.
So rethink your drink on that one

Now that I'm a parent, I'm suddenly realizing what huge feminist issue student loans are.

My loans are around 130k, which means I'm HEAVILY incentivized to stay out of the workforce to keep them in deferment. I don't even know that I'd bring home an income working, between childcare costs and loan payments.

In principle this should be a both-genders problem, but of course it ends up amplifying the pressure on women to stay home.
