@VeroniqueB99 tbf, the eu looks pretty collapsing to the feasibility for a criminal like musk to profit on death, suffering and collapsing environment

@VeroniqueB99 that infant mortality rate jumps due to the current maternal genocide against black women, with us dying at a 3.5 higher rate than white women

America was always a joke

@VeroniqueB99 student debt is zero in the EU? How is that calculated?

[quinta@mastodon.uno]

@timmy @VeroniqueB99 we don't have student loans. public universities are extremely cheap
1 yr tenure (aprox)
politecnico di Milano 3.9k
Delft University 2.3k
University of Amsterdam 2.5k
Technical University of Munich 1.2k
Politécnica de Madrid 1.5k
Paris universities 0,27k
University of Copenhagen 0,15k

[margarit@mastodon.uno]

@timmy @VeroniqueB99 that's because I'm the EU (most of the European countries) universities are public and the cost in most countries is zero or calculated on the family's income.

@margarit @timmy @VeroniqueB99 saying that it is a big problem in the UK. So, after Brexit, we are kinda student debt free. In Poland, you had these loans during my time. But these were given to students to help them with living without the need to work while studying (to pay for living, not for fees). Not sure if these still exist.

@VeroniqueB99
For Germany, the "student debt" is not 100% correct. If you are eligible and get support from state, half of the sum is a credit that has to be paid back - but actually at most €10010 minus deduction (up to 21%) if you do it in one payment.

OK, almost "nothing" compared to typical US student debt.🙈

[veroniqueb99@mastodon.social]

@deborahh @the5thColumnist TYSM!!

[veroniqueb99@mastodon.social]

@ErickaSimone 💯 👍 it'll worsen too.

[veroniqueb99@mastodon.social]

@timmy Education is free. So 0. Public education 0-12 to uni is free, even private tuition s ridiculous compared to the US. It's maybe 10% of the US tuition.

@VeroniqueB99
So : shame, shame, shame, shame for Us

@Va 👍

[dartagnan_c@mastodon.world]

@VeroniqueB99 well, it is a nightmare from their pov! No student debt? Shocking!

[wmd@chaos.social]

@Justbeep @VeroniqueB99 yes also Netherlands has student debt. This looks wrong.

[nsh@mastodon.social]

@quinta @timmy @VeroniqueB99 It's misleading though. There definitely is some student debt. At least in France, there are interest-free state loans backed by the state: https://www.service-public.gouv.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F986?lang=en

And various banks offer student loans. They're a lot smaller than in the US because tuition is cheap (for public schools and unis). However, you still need to pay rent through student jobs, grants, family or loans.

@VeroniqueB99 Excellent. Sources ?

[turlup1@mamot.fr]

@nsh @quinta @timmy @VeroniqueB99
+1
+ EU doesn't exist, hudge differences btw countries.
But U.S. is their model, so governments are aiming to be like U.S. 🤷
