What kills me is that this is an ADULT writing this. This man is the author of five books. I believe he is in his late 50s. What a scumbag! The Times should simply not pay this moron for writing this screed.
He wouldn’t have paid back his loans had he been hired day one as a “writer”. If he had a job doing that, it wouldn’t have been enough money. I know this type of scum well. It’s a shame that innocent people die of brain tumors while this waste of breath gets to write like an angry 19 year old for a living.
According to Wikipedia, he’s a graduate of Columbia. HAHAHAHAHAHAH ... I wonder what would have happened had he not paid them money he owed them. Do you think that bastion of liberal thought would simply give him his degree and release his transcripts out of the kindness of their hearts? No .....
He tries to rationalize his behavior by comparing himself to bailed out banks and the like. I suppose he has a point, but I lump them into the term “degenerate” as well. “Degeneracy” is what leads to defaults without consequences. It’s his liberal school of thought that make debt and failure to pay off debt “OK”. Degeneracy and liberalism go hand in hand.
Someday the real world will return and people like this will be panhandlers at best. Lazy deadbeats ...
No way; he’s over 50? And still rationalizing his blatant theft? I suppose he thinks his word is good. Try again, butthole.
Here’s something to raise the hair on your arms: punks like him are writing for Common Core. The crap my son has brought home in 5th grade is so childish and has the same kind of warped morality. I happened to see an ad for writers on Craigslist where they actively seek (and pay crap $ for) writers to put out little essays according to CC guidelines. Then the crap my son brings home made more sense.
These people are why we can’t have decent presidents.
