  Too many people don’t realize that raising the floor on the standard of living in this country makes life better for everyone - even if one specific policy doesn’t affect them directly. 
  
  Unfortunately we live in a country full of selfish assholes who 1) are against things that help people because they themselves won’t benefit and 2) against things that help people because those other people would benefit.
context: Cancel PPP forgiveness. I’m a small business owner w/ no employees. Why didn’t I get PPP? >
  
  You need to be the hero sue someone to get rid of PPP loans for the rest of us. Should be a slam dunk by citing the Supreme Court decision about to come out. >
  
  This is an executive action versus direct congressional action. Granted this EA seems well within the scope of previous legislation, but PPP is directly from congress which gives it even stronger legitimacy in court >
  
  PPP was/is legit no doubt BUT what more than a few did with the money (vs intended purpose - to keep them afloat during tRumpvid20) was and is FRAUD! Kinda like if I'd have used my GI Bill payments to buy a new Bass boat without enrolling in any classes. >
  
  Worse. It would be if you impersonated a former service member, got the GI bill and spent that money on a new bass boat and then the government just decided it wasn’t important to investigate >
  
  True - I keep forgetting Nixon killed the draft to stop STUDENT protests, so there's a bunch more folks who never served except in their local militias. Nixon knew you had to placate those who had learned to think rationally, the rest could be simply distracted with BS, a lesson well learned at Fox. >
  
  I'm sure the two "plaintiffs" are being amply compensated by the billionaire sponsors of this suit. >
  
  Assholes like this do it for free, or for clout in the movement. They are ideologues, not mercenaries. >
  
  Yeah, like the gun rights activist that keeps suing everything fun in Atlanta. Goodbye Music Midtown. I hope that guy gets spit upon every time he shows his face in public. >
  
  My school loans are paid off but I’m all about student loan forgiveness.  It’s not right to send young people into adulthood in crippling debt simply for getting educated.  
  I’d much rather my tax money go toward helping people (and by extension, our country) than going into an already-bloated military budget or used to offset the loss of tax revenue from keeping billionaires rich.  Too many people don’t realize that raising the floor on the standard of living in this country makes life better for everyone - even if one specific policy doesn’t affect them directly.  Economics trickle up, not down.
