counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 7hPeople have the same opportunity to agree or not agree to terms of a contract. I shouldn't have to pay for something you contracted for that you now decide you don't want to pa, though you got your benefit. 🤷♂️ BTW, your response is your response and not to be blamed on any group. ;) 100

counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you think you are right about every issue and that anyone disagreeing with you is a liar or stupid, you are likely the problem. One should question their position harder and with as much rigor as used when questioning that of others. 000
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026No, I simply take responsibility for my actions. You don't even know me, and you are willing to say I'm a liar just to not have to admit reasonable people can disagree on an issue? Think I am done. Hope you have a nice day... 000
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't consider entering into a loan a mistake for which I'd say others need to be responsible. I think I'd admit my mistake and work to fix it. 000

counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Neither really, but you may certainly feel otherwise. I disagree with a blanket forgiveness and would seek to provide help for more than just the individual with the debt. I wish you well. 100
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I agree. Yet, I made suggestions: 1. Service in needy areas (rural); & 2. Serve those in need (poor/oppressed) through a nonprofit and agree to write off some or all debt for said service. That helps two groups rather than just one. It seems everyone is just saying, "No, just forgive the debt!" 100
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My initial point was only that a board may need business folk, a finance person, a lawyer, a cpa, etc and they don't need to be focused on the arts to serve well. I made no statement about any currently serving member. 🤷♂️ 200
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yes. So, give them options of working in areas with need (rural areas) or to serve those in need (the poor) in a nonprofit and agree to write off some for said service. Two birds, one stone. A blanket write-off does less.for society, I think. 100

counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I am happy to fix the situation and have suggested limits on interest rates etc. I just don't think blamket forgiveness is the answer. Make one work in a needy area or to serve those in need and agree to write off so much for said service. The idea of holding nobody to a promise gets us what? 200
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I agree with the statement, regardless of who makes the decision. No double standards here. 000
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It likely won't be a significant amount per month for any of them. We don't suggest to forgive corporate debt so companies can spend more to help the economy. Maybe those individuals will save the money? 🤷♂️ I am happy to disagree and think reasonable people can do so. 100

counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I find that most people who I engage with, even if we disagree on issues, have points to make that I understand and may support (to some degree or completely). Enjoy the conversation, and make sure our own position is solid and not based on feelings or bias, as best we can. 000
counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I get it. I opposed that too. Maybe the government, in paying those banks should have considered those mortgages being paid. ;) That should have been the position taken. No, nobody really asked me. 🤷♂️ 100

counselore.bsky.social @counselore.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yes, that does suck. I fully support a limit on interest rates on credit cards and student loans, those primarily keep the poor, well, poor. We can likely get more support for that than we can for total forgiveness for anyone. 100
