Nightly Nuance - April 6, 2021

Hello, my friends. At Jordan’s request, I want to talk about student loan forgiveness today. There are lots of links here because I want to make sure to highlight ways in which we’re already forgiving student loans. So as not to bury the lede: I’m pretty agnostic about student loan forgiveness. There are compelling arguments on both sides of the debate, so I try to share those arguments here. I’m always interested in your opinions and questions.
