Yes it would, actually. The world can be a better place if you refuse to be bullied by dead people.

You forgot to put the people with other types of predatory loans on the side of the track the trolley would be diverted to.

They're just further down the track. It's a different societal decision to not allow predatory loans, independent of whether to relieve student loans.

Those who choose not to decide still have made a choice.

Instead, lets grind them into a fine powder and sell them as Torgo's Executive Powder

This meme is accurate for me. As a schizophrenic who used to have visions- at a certain point i stopped reacting/responding to them and all i could do was just watch everything going on around me. Quite intense sometimes like depicted above i was somewhat helpless to the info. Explored dimensions, time, space, it was quite an experience. Like watching someone elses memories.

You forgot to fund pulling the lever with money ripped from the pockets of the group you already ran over. I'm not even personally opposed to loan forgiveness - this is just a convenient way of avoiding the actual point of contention.

i like the english version where its a loan but you pay a % of income over median, if you didnt get good job you dont pay.

quick browse suggests a bit less generous, but still a really big positive step. I saved up and bought* a house. i wouldnt much like it if the GOV bought everyone a house and i had to pay for it via taxes. lending them the cash on favorable terms to help them get where i am? sure.
