Or to get a well paying job. Or even to get wealthy.
But the main reason I don't like it is because at this point it has nothing to do with the pandemic. Halting payments was one thing that WAS done that did make sense. I don't know if they also froze interest accrual because if they didnt then they didnt really give anyone a break. If you use the state of emergency for this then in the future a trump-like president could pull anything to excuse under a similar state. We shouldn't even BE under a SoE anymore anyway.
