According to the NYT article[0] "about five million borrowers are in default" which means like 1.5% of the population is about to have 15% of their wages garnished. Seems pretty intense.

What is this word salad?

If I can follow it and I’m not sure if I can, I don’t think it’s as insightful as you think it is.

I think you forgot to actually critique anything, come back and edit your comment.

Yeah nah it’s rubbish, mottled with excuses.

Pretty sure you’ve edited a bit of it as well.
