    Can we start doing that with rent payments en masse? I really wish there was a big, organized campaign around this to force rental companies to stop charging these outrageous made-up numbers for rent based on “market value” (which they themselves set).

    With student loan payments, I sympathize and hope they all ultimately get their loans forgiven, but ultimately I think the rental situation is the worse offender that’s driving more of the issues that we’re seeing today. I try to pay on my loans/debts religiously, even if I hate the idea of paying all this extra interest on top of it.
