  3. The increased consumer costs from the CFPB's rollback of #regulations on #BankFees, wholesale dismissal of cases against #banks & other #lenders & the failure to disburse funds for harmed #borrowers run counter to Trump's pledges to ease the cost of living, acc/to #Student Borrower Protection Center & #Consumer Federation of America.

    Since #Trump took control of the #CFPB in Feb, calling for its elimination, admin ofcls have sought to reduce the workforce by about 90% & curtail its oversight.

  14. I have found a couple of versions of this online.
    Bridgnorth, Shropshire by Paul Sandby RA (1730 - 1809)
    I think this is the better version. What strikes me is the scale of the people. #Borrowers

  15. …We’re taking on housing discrimination & increasing #Black homeownership. To date, we’ve invested >$7B in historically Black #colleges & #universities to prepare students for high-growth industries. We’ve approved >$116B in #StudentLoanDebtCancellation for 3.4M #Americans so that #borrowers receive the #relief they deserve. And a new #StudentDebt repayment plan is helping Black #students & #families cut in half their total lifetime payments per dollar borrowed.

  16. Through out my childhood, I played different things. Knights, kings, dragons, warriors, explorers, all that wholesome fantasy.

    But you know the one thing I still wish to be now I'm grown man?

    A Borrower. Just a little Borrower, living among the Bigs, with a pin as a sword, button as shield, exploring houses, keeping a herd of ants, riding a mouse or cat, maybe having relationships with fairies and sprites.
