I'm sorry is this an I-love-getting-fucked-in-the-ass thing that I'm too Scottish to understand?

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 52 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yes.

See, Americans dont have an England to fuck over its citizens, so we have to do it all by ourselves.

I'm sorry is this an I-love-getting-fucked-in-the-ass thing that I'm not USA enough to understand?

Whilst it would be lovely if us Englishmen didn’t have student loans, they could be a whole lot worse. We only pay them once we earn over a certain threshold, and they’ll disappear after 30 years. Plus our unis are funded in large part by international students (which has its own issues), so Brits’ course fees are slightly subsidised.

Not good, but hey at least it’s not the US(!)

You missed the chance to say "At least it's not the US, eh?"

The United States is a free country and freedom to shape your own destiny is one of the hallmarks of being an American. So everyone whining about how hard it is should have thought long and hard about the consequences of their actions when they decided not to be born rich.
