This seems to be pretty polarizing. What are your thoughts, friends? https://www.comicsands.com/arj-barker-ejected-breastfeeding-mom-2667857560.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

@georgetakei my first thought was: why would someone take a baby to a comedy show on a Saturday night, which would usually be an adult audience?

Republicans don't mind debt forgiveness when it's THEIR debt. Trump declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy 6 times.

MTG was happy to get her $180K PPP loan forgiven.

But when middle-class and poor Americans need help paying for an education, suddenly debt relief is out of the question.

@rbreich a loan has a borrower and a lender. On student loans, for example, who holds the note--to whom is this money owed? Not all of these loans came from federal govt coffers. Some investors are owed. When student loans are forgiven, does that mean the federal govt pays off the balance to the noteholder? Or does the note disappear unpaid? I am not criticizing loan forgiveness. I am simply trying to understand the other (non-borrower) side.
