Under the Biden-Harris Administration, surprise overdraft fees and bounced check victim fees are now illegal.

Here's where you may experience these junk fees:

In reality, student debt has been canceled for the past two years and the world hasn’t ended because of it. Why not just cancel it all and make college tuition-free moving forward?

Jamie Dimon became a billionaire after his bank was fined billions for mortgage fraud, illegally foreclosing on military families & bribing foreign officials. Now, he's in Saudi Arabia to do business with a country partnering with Russia to damage our economy. Pathetic.

This is key part of Biden admin's legal argument for canceling federal student loans.

Ed Dept argues this surge of delinquency is likely to happen in federal direct loan portfolio when payment pause ends -- and reducing balances by $10K/$20K would reduce that chance.

Navient, largest owner of privately-held federal student loans, reports that delinquency rate on those loans *more than doubled* over past year.

30-day+ late
8.5% in Sept '21
18.6% in Sept '22

These FFEL borrowers haven't been covered by payment pause.

My Administration is making clear that charging Americans for a bounced check they deposit or an overdrafted bank account isn't just wrong.

It's illegal.

wow.

Studentaid.gov is down. Again.

And yet we're going to force 35+ million people back into indentured servitude in January.

Secretary Miguel Cardona, this mishegoss is not okay. This isn't even remotely okay.

The PSLF waiver expiring while Mohela won’t take your calls is like the movie Alive, it seemed like help was coming but next thing you know you’re eating ass.

Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs) are a growing threat to ALL workers.

...almost 10% of Americans in 2020 were stuck in bad jobs because of a TRAP (via Cornell SRI)

But regulators are gearing up to take action! More here (h/t Diane Bartz): reuters.com/world/us/more-…

It's going to be *VERY* interesting when U.S. Department of Education starts the IDR adjustment & folks get credit for decades of payments after being told by servicers their records were 'LOST'

Loan servicers lied to keep people in endless repayment. Hold them accountable for defrauding us.

forming a union would be adding an uninvited guest into the special employee relationship. Now, if you have questions about your pay, email MyMoney; medical queries go to Carebit unless they’re dental; if you need to go on leave, register with Abridgely; IT help goes thro-

In many ways, academia is the dumbest job I've had because it's the only one where admitting that it is actually a job counts as some sort of radical praxis.

Millions of Americans are right now struggling with the outrageous cost of child care and education in this country. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Listen to what Finland’s Ambassador had to say about what it looks like when a nation gets its priorities right.

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

Academia is not a calling. Neither is being a healthcare worker or teacher, or any other role where a sense of vocation and working for the common good is too easily exploited by your employer.
No-one can pay their bills with fuzzy feelings. Workers should receive fair pay.
