This week has been one of those weeks where I wonder if we are entering a very dark period of time. On a normal day I get a certain number of phone calls, zoom/face-time video calls.emails, etc..

Why Aren’t Workers At Unions Eligible For Public Service Loan Forgiveness?
In 2007, the Bush-era Congress created the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, also known as 20 USC 1087e (m)(1).
