Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

I know people who have fully embraced that they will never be able to pay off their student loans and are just letting them default. It's often easier to get out of wage garnishment and wrecked credit than it is trying to pay back tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

So yeah, the government paying off its own loans is just kicking the can down the road. Accelerating a process that's already happening.
