Ah, The Man is sending the goons to collect the juice loans.
(TBH, having a goon break your leg for not paying a juice loan may be a better option than what The Man WILL do to you if your college juice loan is in default.)

This may be of interest for some: what happens when a family member has guns, and guess what, you are inheriting them. Now what? In my case, I have at least one family member who owns guns but my guess is they likely will have their children inherit. Whether the kids keep them or not is another story.

> "State Terror: A brief guide for Americans" by Timothy Snyder
https://snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror
We're the baddies. The US has joined the baddies.
The despot, dictator, authoritarian says to you 'I need to take your right in order to protect you', he says it's an emergency (https://shorturl.at/V0iXc), defies the courts, and then never gives those rights back.
This is followed by 'I need to stay in office indefinitely because no one else can protect you like I can.'
And human basic rights are no longer deemed important.
The Trump regime removed items from list of human rights abuses that is reported on annually... because America would end up on the list if they didn't.
The report will be delayed while it is retcon'd. No longer listed:
- Denying freedom of movement and peaceful assembly
- Retaining political prisoners without due process
- Restrictions on "free and fair elections."
- Involuntary or coercive medical or psychological practices
- Arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy
- Serious restrictions to internet freedom
- Extensive gender-based violence
- Violence or threats of violence targeting people with disabilities

Sure, if you can afford to take the time off because these leaves are pretty much unpaid, good luck.
And then there is actually getting mental health care. Good luck if you need to find an affordable, accessible therapist.
Oh, and do you really want your employer knowing this about you?
