indentured servitude is #slavery by #debt. #healthCare tied to #employment is an engineered debt.
the usa health care by employment is a form of indentured servitude. in other words:
EMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES IS A FORM OF DEBT SLAVERY.
doubly so if you have debt by #studentLoans.
#PuertoRico outlawed debt slavery because post-slavery plantation workers were locked into their jobs by debt ―always to the plantation owner― they couldn’t retire in bankruptcy.
like today's student loans.

CW: NZPol Solar vs Student loans
"Here it is: tomorrow morning, the government cancels the student loan book. Every balance, zeroed. The Crown writes off $16.2 billion of assets against its own accounts, net debt ticks up accordingly, and 622,892 people wake up owing nothing.
Now the question that matters. What, in the real economy, just happened?"

CW: NZ - student loan border arrest
In the past ten years, just 13 people have been arrested at the NZ border for student loan debts. Here's the story of unlucky number thirteen, a doctor who's worked in Australia for the last thirty years.
It's also a cautionary tale of how 5.6% interest and a further 9.6% in penalties on arrears can transform a once modest debt into a millstone.

A while back I posted that #Trump is trying to drastically cut back #StudentLoans for those studying for careers in #HealthCare. The #Senate is expected to vote THIS WEEK on a resolution to block this terrible rule. If you haven't written to your representatives, now is the time. https://www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/save-student-loans-healthcare

That #median includes the youth who often start with negative worth due to #StudentLoans.
Your highest #NetWorth is achieved in your 60s as you approach your #retirement. The #debts are gone. The median is now $ 410 K. Your stack has slightly more than doubled in height to 45 cm.
At this rate, when will you become a #trillionaire? It will take ~ 108 million years! The #dinosaurs perished only 65 million years ago, you dolt!

The #TrumpAdministration wants to drastically cut #StudentLoans for #HealthCare. This won't just harm students, it will devastate communities already seriously short of healthcare providers. Congress can stop it if they hear from you!

#ICYMI (I know I did)... Apparently, part of #Trump's #BigUglyBill involved withholding future student #FinancialAid if they withdraw from a class. Wow...!
"Beginning in Summer 2026, changes to #FederalStudentAid under the One #BigBeautifulBill Act will significantly affect how federal direct loans are adjusted when students withdraw from courses or reduce enrollment. Several of you have met with me via zoom to learn more about these changes, and I am grateful for the questions and conversation.
What’s changing in brief:
- Financial aid for loan borrowers may now be recalculated based on a student’s enrollment, even in cases where students continue to pay for all of their credits.
Students who withdraw from courses may:
- Lose eligibility for a portion of their aid in a future semester and/or,
- Owe a balance back to the university
Please contact the Office of Financial Aid with questions or refer students directly for individualized guidance.
Thank you for your continued support of our students during this transition."
