Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

    You absolutely have a choice.

    Clearly there should be debt forgiveness for people with medical issues. Otherwise people should think ahead.

    And I started all of this by saying that university should be free. I’m not the enemy here. You signed an agreement to pay those bills, now do it.

      Otherwise people should think ahead.

      The vast majority of people are thinking ahead when they get a loan to get an education. The rest of your comment is telling people with problems “fuck you, got mine” and I’m done with it. Enjoy your block. Enjoy your blessings and enjoy being hateful to people who had different luck in life, I’m sure abandoning human decency will really help in everything you do.

        I’m sorry you can’t handle when someone disagrees with you. I’m not abandoning human decency when I say things like “university should be free” and “if anything all education loans should be refinanced with a interest rate ceiling”. You are a coward.
