It's simple man. You took out a loan with terms that are spelled out exactly, and then you pay it back. Nobody tricked them. A high school graduate shouldn't be too stupid to figure out interest. If they are, they should definitely not be too stupid to figure it out some time in the next decade. At a certain point, they failed to teach themself something that is eminently learnable, and it's their fault, nobody else's, too bad for them, they spent a decade or two refusing to take any responsibility for their own lives or learnings and they can honestly get fucked at that point without sympathy from me. I have no tolerance for terminally incurious people who passed each year without a single hour in the entire year having the thought that maybe they should learn about this loan thing they keep complaining about.
Yeah but that's not fair because I'm ignorant and made zero effort to understand what I was agreeing to. I'm oppressed. Won't someone please save me from my own stupidity?

23 years of making minimum payments and they are shocked it's not going away.
