Not being able to cancel our student loan debts through bankruptcy is such an american move. Good thing POTUS will fix this issue đ
"Now you see me" "now you don’t" what a lost opportunity
I… DECLARE… BANKRUPCYYYYYYYYYY !!!
You never realize how much #JohnOliver cusses until you watch an episode with your 90 y/o #grandmother. It’s literally cringe-worthy when you realize how many times he says "fuck" during his show. Could John Oliver actually get through an episode w/o cussing? I challenge him.
Anyone starting college at this point should know not to use student loans
20:42 two of my favorite YouTube Channels intersect! James Blackwood’s channel is fantastic.
America be like: "Here’s a system we put in place to help you"
People use said system in any way like it was intended
America: "no wait you weren’t suppose to actually use that, here lets make it harder for you to use that rather than work on what brought you to it"
and i actually subscribe to the channel of the guy feeding racoons hot dogs…LOL…great channel by the way, especially if you are an animal lover â€
Who here was recommended this from a Secular Talk video?
Let it go to collections, ignore them for a few years, offer pennies on the dollar, and voila, paid off, no bankruptcy
"If you want to know the truth before you run up your credit cards and decide to stop paying make sure that you switch your address switch your phone number on file to both out of state that you live in… Also get rid of your mailbox and address markings on your house see when you don’t know comes up to you and says your name asking if it’s you don’t say yes. Walk away close the door tell him you don’t live here get off your property… Most importantly do not answer the door if it’s a cop!!! If they have enough for the warrant they can come back and kick the door in if not then they have no reason and no ability to come on into your house legally unless you open the door DO NOT open the door! Either way you must start waiting 10 years… Immediately try to rebuild your credit and let those accounts fall off don’t answer the phone to collectors or anything else and also don’t have a voicemail setup that we know we can leave messages on your phone… They can only send text and you can block the number or act like you didn’t receive it"….. All of that is some Robin Hood good for the common people illegal credit advice I got from some onetime… Just figured I would share that here.
Well for the haters out there, until your news outlets start criticizing your own, you got nothing to say. Biden wasn’t the best choice, but he was better than that weasel trump…
I really liked that credit counseling video at the end!
Ha ha ha.. Very true.,
I owe over a quarter million in student debt. I earn about 800 dollars a month and get no assistance from the government. I’ve exhausted my job options. Cool.
Now I believe God wonât come down to save us an angle will be sent….Iâm so fortunate to meet my God sent angels @joehackBTC on telegram…after long time hardship he got me 3btc đđ
Seeking a job that pays more is the default Politician/Talking Head advice to the poor, ala Ben Shapiro, Joe Biden.
17:45 damn Biden used to able to talk so much more coherently
How soft you became in just a few months. Suddenly there is no pandemic, no migration crises, no political issues. How biased you are was always pretty obvious for anyone to see, but you keep surprising us đ
He missed one thing: While Congress was busy figuring out how best to take away our entitled right to declare bankruptcy, the Terri Schiavo conflict was put in our faces, distracting all of us from what what our Congress and credit card companies were doing together. Bankruptcy lawyers were filing hundreds and thousands of cases in order to have them heard under the rules of the existing law knowing things were going to get bad. The day before the new law went into effect, mounds of cases were filed. Now, if you own a house you cannot file bankruptcy, or have any money at all – etc. Credit cards will not be written off and it is now so difficult to qualify to file, that people are stuck with abuse from bill collectors, having property taken away that was not allowed to be taken under the original law, etc. This has been a travesty pushed onto us – without our consent and mostly without our knowledge thanks to Terry Schiavoâs face being all over the place. Thank you John Oliver for bringing this out – wish you were here when they were fâing us over!!

He hurried out of the outro like me telling my parents Iâm staying over at my friends house lol
Oliver is a corporate tool
"When things are designed to become harder for everyone, for the rich they just become a bit more expensive, and for the poor they become basically impossible".
This is the good thing about John Oliver. Whoever is the president, he can stand in front that person and criticize
Hey, John. Can you take turn at David Ramsey?
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
OH MY GOSH YOU FEATURED THE RACOON WHISPERER!?! Some of the most wholesome content out there. https://www.youtube.com/c/JamesBlackwoodRaccoonWhisperer/featured
Anyone else unable to turn on notifications for this channel?
I seriously hope people learn not to trust scammers
Kevin O’Leary’s biggest thing that he does is be a hypocrite…
Miss the days when this show and its writers were worth a damn and had integrity.. especially from a self made immigrant as the face.. disgusting
I fear for the hotdog man’s safety if he ever has the misfortune to run out of cylindrical meat.
In my country, Malaysia, bankruptcy is not a fresh start. You end up losing many of your rights… You are no longer allowed to own a business/be a director in a company. Getting loans is also unlikely.
I don’t know much about college tuition; I come from a country with free education. However, now that you have the system that you have with student loans and so on, wouldn’t you prefer a system where people can’t erase their debt by declaring bankruptcy right after graduating, right?
Or did I misunderstand something?
That man is chanting âYES! YES! YES!â With the confidence of someone who knows what they are doing is causing a demon to be summoned, and is happy itâs going so well.
"I’m happy that LastWeekTonight still has things to cover" is the single most bittersweet statement I have ever uttered.
Continuing our tradition of government of the people by the corporations for the corporations.
It’s one thing to say that there is predatory behavior in the financial system and call it out, which is good. It’s another to shit on the idea of taking personal responsibility for our actions.
Most debt is bad behavior. And I say most, lest a bunch of people comment on their outlying situations that are out of their control.
Dave Ramsey… look him up. No get rich quick schemes… just education regarding how to make a budget, follow it, pay off debts, etc.
Just don’t ever go to school cuz you can’t get rid of student debt start companies in Delaware the first state where you have immunity from disclosing who owns the company and run the company’s build them up build credit then eventually run them into the ground and bankrupt them will not affect your personal credit and free money, Merica!!!
Damn, no offense big John, but you suck now
The issue here is ppl not educating themselves in credit fluency. Use the system for your benefit. It is built against the regular man, but if you know how to play credit against itself within the modern US imperialist system you can trade debt on debt. If you have no credit, you can’t get credit. So let’s say you lived your life perfect without credit, living outside the system and you’ve done good, but for whatever reason you decide, let’s get a loan. Without previous credit they won’t give you a good interest rate or solid loan vs the person who miss-used their credit – it’s ridiculous. Get little credit, build it, use it, pay it off, and then take more credit. Never use cash. Always use credit – never use debit. Even Buffet will say don’t use cash. When you build small to big credit you can trade debt for debt. When you get 10k in credit you can trade it to another card with no balance fees for 18 months. Trade your debt over and over with transfer as necessary to build out the dream. If you over spend, then that’s your issue and that is because of a lack of financial literacy, but hey – the US doesn’t wan’t you to be financially literate. Borrow against nothing and move it up until you trade off for income generating assets. Take more credit and more credit and trade it over or else how are you going to beat the system and break the cycle.
United States, the ‘Best Country in the World, The Country of Freedom’ never ceases to amaze me. It does everything it can to screw their citizens left and right.
"I declare bankruptcy"
This is gigantic fallacy after gigantic fallacy. You fail to mention why chapter 13 doesnât work. People who file them simply canât even pay the fractional payments. I have zero sympathy for people who make stupid financial decisions.
Add to that : people who think its fashionable to offer more than asking price for a (already overpriced) home , and brag to their friends about it : "oooooh you’re so baller with that borrowed money" (moron)
Just one more example of many that proves why Joe Biden is such a self-serving POS
Passed by George W Bush.
"once in a century global pandemic" Ohhh boy, this isn’t gonna age very well. See you in 10-20 years or so.
It is painful to understand how rigged is the game
