Jade, I saw a headline the other day and I didn't dive in.

Yeah.

But I know you have and I know you've got an opinion.

So I am seeing that now in our outrage culture, some student loan borrowers are going, I'm not going to pay. I'm going to

protest. Wow. Yeah. That's one thing to protest in the streets over a political candidate. I'm all

for that. Or some civil society problem. But this is not that. This is you borrow the money.

And now am I hearing this right? Am I reading the headline

right? Yeah. I mean, I think, listen, that's my take on it as well. Some student loan borrowers

are refusing to pay out of protest. The article says millions of borrowers with existing student

loans still have not made a payment since the bills resumed in October after a three-year

hiatus.

And some admit that they're refusing to pay for spite, like strictly out of protest.

In an Intelligent.com survey conducted this month, a thousand federal student loan borrowers.

25% of those people said that they had not made any payments at all.

And 9% of that 25% said that they were holding off on paying their bills intentionally in an effort to

pressure the government into canceling their debt. That's going to work. Oh, man. 44 percent said

they believe their protests will lead to cancellation of some federal student loan debt, and 28% think that it is likely

that this boycott will convince the government to cancel all student loan debt.

You know, that's like me believing if I commit to leg day that I'll be able to dunk a basketball.

Listen, it's not going to happen.

I don't have the fast twitch.
