>As for student debt relief, there's a huge difference between someone depositing money in a regulated major bank and expecting that Federal regulators were doing their job and that their money would be safe,

I've made a couple posts about this already but I don't see how people don't see the optics of the situation look incredibly bad. First off student debt is a special kind of debt, you can't bankrupt it and this has led to several adverse affects, namely skyhigh tuition prices and zero due diligence. You can't say in one breath that CEOs of tech businesses are completely helpless to audit whether their bank is trustworthy, and in another say 18 year olds should have understood the risk they were getting into.

To you it's "disingenuous" but to everyone else it just looks like the haves play by a different system; rig the system against the have-nots, and then tell the have-nots they should been "more responsible".
