PSLF has been life changing for many that have benefited already. Many of us have made life altering decisions based on these promises. It is disgusting to pull this promised debt forgiveness for choosing public service out from under them.

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.
