Chris Fixes Student Loans (And Insults Half of America, Probably) - Impolite Company 06152023

Impolite Company host, Chris Cyr, meant to talk about multiple subjects, but got carried away talking about how he'd fix the student loan crisis, while also talking about the idiotic notion of fairness that too many people in this country cling to as the support for every argument they have about why they're better than everyone else. This episode is probably sponsored, by Adderall whether they want to or not.

Our theme music is by Lyfestile and Kenautis Smith. Check out their music on Amazon and wherever else to you listen to good stuff.
