Before reading the article I’m guessing they are over-represented in a combination of medical debt and lower credit scores.
I don’t care who it disproportionately helps, this is a major win for society as a whole. Now do student loans next
The point is that it addresses a historic inequality. We should care about addressing those
While it may, I almost wish they wouldn’t say anything about that aspect of it because I’m concerned about if it gets the wrong people’s attention they’d try to roll it back. Just want a win that they don’t immediately try to undo.
Conservatives don’t need another reason to roll this back besides money
Precisely why I want their attention somewhere else.
What a f****** terrible way to write a headline. But at least the author is honest about their political views.
I’m not sure I follow. What are their political views?
Edit: you all assumed this was some right wing rag upset about this but it’s literally a self-described Black news site praising it
Even if I were to take the headline at face value. “The other people get more relief than you do!” Okay, I have had shit tons of medical debt. Times I had to make a payment plan. You telling me there is a group defined by race that have it even worse. Well I am shocked to learn that /s.
This doesn’t wipe the debt so no one is in the clear. It just doesn’t hurt your credit so you can actually still apply for the better place or a new home. Chill the f out you asshats.
On Tuesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a new federal rule aimed at removing medical debt from the credit reports of millions of Americans.
Will be undone by the next administration in just over a week. Not concrete enough.
Willing to put money where your mouth is on that timeline?
