Occupy Wall Street was a fucking mouse fart compared to the damage our generation could do to the system if every last one of us suddenly decided to stop making payments on our student loans.
I doubt it would take all that many conscientious defaulters to reach a tipping point — maybe a few hundred thousand — and the student debt bubble would burst. Credit scores would be meaningless. Ivory towers would crumble. The entire fucking economy would implode.
I dunno, it might be worth doing.
Photographer Elliott C Nathan had placed a seed in the dinosaur’s mouth. He explains: “I took these photos in my yard in Boulder, Colorado. I spent about half an hour getting the squirrel to trust me with seeds then I started putting them onto things. He was careful about the dinosaur at first, but finally his hunger got the best of him and he went in for the kiss.” (via Pictures of the day: 4 January 2012 - Telegraph)
Patrick is so underrated.
