☆ Biden's latest student debt plan would create forgiveness path for borrowers facing financial ruin
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-25 | by ( Annie Nova | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

US President Joe Biden gestures after speaking about student loan debt relief at Madison Area Technical College in Madison, Wisconsin, April 8, 2024. The Biden administration introduced a new proposal Friday to deliver student loan forgiveness to Americans who experience "financially devastating hardships." The announcement was the latest effort by the Education Department under President Joe Biden to cancel people's education debt. However, the department's previous attempts to provide wide-scale student loan forgiveness are currently being blocked by the courts after a wave of GOP-led legal challenges. Former President Donald Trump is a vocal critic of policies to reduce or eliminate the balances of student loan holders.

CNN —Costco is recalling smoked salmon products over possible listeria contamination. There have been at least 10 reported deaths and 59 hospitalizations across 19 states due to the listeria outbreak, according to the CDC. In October, there have multiple instances of recalls like Costco’s salmon products due to potential listeria contamination, according to the FDA, which tracks public announcements. While the recalls come on the heels of the Boar’s Head listeria outbreak and McDonald’s E. coli outbreak, experts told CNN that an increase in recalls over potential contamination isn’t necessarily cause for concern. On October 24, the FDA announced a recall of chicken taco kits produced by Sprouts Farmers Markets over potential listeria contamination.

Young people are stressed out at work. About half, 48% of 18-to-25-year-olds and 51% of 26-to-43-year-olds say they typically feel tense or stressed out during the workday, according to the American Psychological Association's 2024 Work in America survey. There are ways to mitigate that stress — and happiness expert Jessica Weiss emphasizes one in particular: Make friends at your job. "The most important thing that you can do for happiness, happiness in life and happiness at work, is friendship," she says. That "will open up the door to kind of starting to have more meaningful conversation," she says.

A report from travel news site Skift shows that seven major airlines have retreated from the country in the past four months. Longer flights require more fuel, which make flights more expensive. "Indeed U.S. carriers are making hard but very commercial decisions to drop Chinese services and redeploy the aircraft elsewhere," he said.

Collectively, Chinese airlines have increased capacity to Europe, compared to pre-pandemic, even though the market and trade flows were much stronger then, said Grant.

After a months-long negotiated rulemaking process, President Joe Biden and his administration have unveiled a new proposed regulation to provide debt relief to student loan borrowers facing financial hardship. It goes on to list 17 non-exclusive factors that could substantiate hardship. The other pathway will likely be primarily application-based and will see the department considering individual cases for debt relief using these factors or other evidence of hardship. The proposal will soon be entered into the Federal Register where it will undergo a 30-day public comment period. This debt relief action stems from the Supreme Court's ruling against President Biden's plan to enact broad student loan forgiveness in June 2023.
