Let me save you all the money to read it with this prophecy of a TDLR:
It'll try to whine on about how privileged Donald Trump Jr is and how his opinion should not be regarded, how he looks down on the poor gender studies students with debts and trying to paint him as the most inadequate son of a president when Hunter Biden exists

Oy vey!
Isn't Vanity Fair a magazine for wannabe elites to feel like they are rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous? When did they start attacking the wealthy?
It's funny characterizing the student loan bailout as populism. But that's what they're pretending. The liberal MO is to idolize the undeserving rich, pretend to care about the "oppressed", and shit all over anyone who worked for however much they've got.
They couldn't pay me enough.
Also, female writer. Of course.
Welcome back.
Vanity Fair: Barron Trump is a Big Poopey Doodoo Head, S**ts and P*sses Pants Like Whiney Baby
The writer is a nut job that vanity fair hired as a political “reporter” her other job was Wall Street gossip/drama…
Fr tho. If I want to see crass in an article I'll pull up, idk, Vice. I get Vanity Fair isn't The Economist, but dropping swears in is Idiocracy-tier trash.
I'm not sure you're going to find anyone here who's ever read it, outside of being stuck in a dentist's waiting room.
I'm not even sure all these magazines exist to make money or are anything but CIA propaganda vehicles. Haven't looked into deeply but there's probably Hearst-Deep-State links if you go back far enough. This one might be owned by the Apple heiress but that doesn't change anything.
If these loan companies knew these were bad and sometimes borderline predatory loans based on what the college was offering (and pricing for it), why don't these loan companies just have to eat the bad loans, and not, say, the taxpayers for example.
Wouldn't that be a better idea?
It's not at all the fault of loan companies. It is the fault of one organization, the US Federal government.
Most student loans — about 92%, according to a July 2021 report by MeasureOne, an academic data firm — are owned by the U.S. Department of Education.
The government decided to get into the student loan game. The government decided to give out the bad loans. The government doing so spiked the price of colleges dramatically over the last few years. Therefore, the government had to keep issuing bigger loans, which meant the debts people had became higher and higher. It is 100% a government problem.
That said, I do say that the government should eat it. Not the taxpayers. Start taking from bureaucrat and politician bank accounts, starting with every politician supporting bailing out people with student debt and Department of Education employees and keep going based on seniority in other departments until you've either bankrupted every single government employee or paid back the loans.
