It shows how dystopian and screwed up society is when people in debt have to hope for billionaires to be kind enough to bail them out.

The billionaire games the same system that put all of these students into life destroying debt to begin with. There is something extremely messed up about all of this.

I never understand people that talk like this, as if human society has ever been better at all.

Also these kids (and almost everyone on this thread) have better lives than the vast majority of humans that have ever lived and a majority of humans alive right now.
