Much easier to do though.

You're right, it isn't sufficient to fix the problem but you can't make it right without forgiveness for those stuck eternally with the bullshit loans they were coerced into.
As someone who has paid off my own students loans I gotta say I fully disagree. The system we have for paying for college is super predatory and creates incentives for all kinds of shitty, but still legal, behavior by colleges, loan companies, etc. School shouldn't cost so damn much in the first place, it didn't for our parents, it shouldn't have for us, it damn well shouldn't for our kids.
I get that people won't like the decision, and it sucks that the world is in a place where this kind of thing has to happen, but the decision really makes sense. Real people have to host this stuff, admin this stuff, out of their own (or donated) money. Asking them to be legally and financially responsible for someone else's decision to pirate copyrighted material, regardless of what you think of the morality or ethics of piracy, is a really fucking big ask.
Escalators are moving stairs that can suck you into the gears underneath and turn you into ground meat if you get caught in the teeth at the end of them. Doesn't surprise me that people are hesitant to walk on them as you're much more likely to trip and fall walking on stairs vs standing. Better to let them safely carry you up or down, then safely step off at the end.
This is some solid grade A pandering. You're aware there's no karma to farm, right?
Read the first book of each series and see how you feel about them. No need to commit to the whole series until you're sure you like one. Both are great in their own way. But it is worth noting that Dune gets really different after the first book and books 3 and 4 of Hyperion are like a whole different story. You might consider reading the first book of Dune, then Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion. Then see about the rest.
When you steal the company just raises prices on everyone else to cover what you stole. You aren't stealing from a shitty faceless corporation, you're stealing from everyone who pays. As a paying customer, fuck you.
Lenovo is a Chinese government data gathering operation though.
Hell yeah, he's been lights out lately.
I literally paid my debt. I'm not in this for money. They got my money. Does it fix all problems? No. Does it help the current massive buildup of debt that is clogging this generations ability to thrive economically? Absolutely. Do we need systemic solutions? For sure. Forgiveness of these loans is good even by itself.
