U.S. Supreme Court struck down Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan. What now?

Published

The student loan forgiveness plan was a second chance for many. So what happens next for thousands of students who are struggling to make ends meet already?

 
When the Supreme Court struck down the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness plan, for many people it was a case of what next?

Already dealing with higher living costs, a struggle to find a real good paying job.

And while the President tries to find a way to help the younger generation, many of whom are more likely to vote for him next year, the simple fact is this- The secretary of education does not have the authority to forgive US$430 billion of student loans.

That kills the president’s proposed plan to forgive up to $10,000 in student loans per borrower.
It’s a significant sum, especially for low income earners.

“There’s not a county in this country where someone can rent a one bedroom apartment on minimum wage salary right now,” said independent journalist Andrew Hirschfeld.

“So if you have all of this money going to paying off student loans, especially with the predatory interest rates that are generally across the board it puts your life on hold in a lot of ways.”

Rise in parents purchasing homes for adult children sparks concerns

A growing trend of parents buying houses for their adult children is causing a stir, raising questions about the potential downsides of such arrangements. While the gesture may seem benevolent, experts warn of the pitfalls associated with this practice.

Financial advisors express concerns about the impact on both generations’ financial independence. By providing ready-made homes, parents might inadvertently hinder their children’s ability to learn crucial financial lessons, such as budgeting, mortgage management, and property ownership responsibilities.

The trend also sparks debates on the long-term implications for the housing market. Critics argue that such parental interventions can distort property prices and exacerbate existing affordability challenges, particularly for younger individuals aspiring to enter the property market independently.

There’s a call for a broader societal discussion on the balance between parental support and fostering financial autonomy. While the intention is often rooted in care, the unintended consequences of sheltering adult children from financial realities are prompting a reassessment of this well-meaning practice.

Victoria’s Secret is facing backlash after issuing an apology to a transgender woman who had a negative experience while trying on bras at one of their stores.

The incident has ignited a debate about inclusivity and sensitivity in the fashion industry.

The controversy began when the trans woman, who remains anonymous, visited a Victoria’s Secret store to shop for bras. She reported feeling uncomfortable and discriminated against by store staff.

In response to her complaint, Victoria’s Secret issued an apology, acknowledging the incident and expressing their commitment to diversity and inclusion.

However, the apology itself has come under fire from both supporters and critics.

Some argue that the brand’s apology is insincere and merely an attempt to save face, while others believe it is a step in the right direction towards a more inclusive shopping experience for all customers.

It also highlights the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals when accessing spaces traditionally designed for cisgender customers.

As the fashion industry continues to evolve, many are calling for a deeper examination of inclusivity and sensitivity, not just in policies but in practice.
