This is the FCB podcast Network. This is Pillow Talk with Allie Michelle on
the podcast network. Welcome back to an episode of Pillow Talk with Alie Michelle.
I am your host, Alie Michelle. I wanted to record an episode
where I am talking about the student debt relief stuff, and with that we're
getting right into it. Just imagine, okay, put yourself in this shows.
Just imagine being so mad that a single mother who put herself through college
to have a better life for her child to support independently. Okay, she
scored a job, she has her life together, she paid off her own
student debt, and you are mad that you, as a single person,
you yourself alan only have to take care of yourself. You're so mad that
she won't pay your student debt. Please explain that to me. And also
and then okay, so hear me out. Parents have five kids, They
put all their kids through college, took out loans to pay the loans,
paid those loans, or just work their bought off and paid off their kids
student loan debt. Now imagine being so mad at them that they're not going
to pay off your student loan debt. You take out the loan you pay
the loan. We as a society have become so comfortable with the fact that
you know somebody else will handle your responsibilities. You're not being held accountable.
It's like taking out a mortgage and saying, you know, I don't want
to pay this thirty year mortgage. We need mortgage debt relief. That's so
silly, you know what I'm saying. That's just it's just completely ridiculous.
And I don't think it's your fellow Americans that you need to be angry with.
I think it's you know, the amount of the amount that these colleges
are forcing you to pay in order for you to quote unquote be successful in
life. First and foremost, I just want to state you should pick up
a trade. Trades are in such high demand right now. But everybody wants
to be a psychologist, or everybody wants to be a psychiatrist, or everybody
wants to just be a counselor, which is great jobs, and I think,
yeah, we do need them. But if you pick up a trade,
you will never not have work. Say, something terrible happens and you're
running little on funds and your husband's out of work, and you know,
counseling is just not paying the bills. What about now, say something terrible
happens and your husband's out of work and you're struggling to pay the bills and
all you have, you know, your counseling isn't you know, paying the
mortgage. And you have a trade under your belt, you can go hop
in you know, cut a blue haircut, couple of haircuts, a couple
of hair collars. That's a trade. Beauty school, women beauty school,
or a nail set. Or maybe beauty school isn't your thing. You can
get into painting. You really like painting, so you can become a painter.
Or you like building, so you become a carpenter or electrician or truck
driving. There's endless possibilities of blue collar work. Right. We have become
so brainwash set the only way to be successful is getting a degree. And
I'm not saying going to college is terrible. I love learning, I love
school, I love everything about it. It's just a little too costly for
me, you know what I'm saying. There's so many other routes that people
can go, but we've just become so like I said, brainwash that the
only way to be successful is going to college. But if you do,
and you do choose to go to college, and you you know, you
run through school and you and you get you know, you do your thing.
You do have to pay your own bill. That's just it. Period.
And if you want to, if you are so desperate into believing that
the government will save you every time, you're very wrong and you will be
set up to be disappointed for the rest of your life. Never depend on
the government to handle your business. Period. Why would you want to Why
would you want the government to have that over your head for the rest of
You're like, oh, I guess what who paid you? Who paid you?
And then you're gonna fall for every time when they let you down.
Every single time, every single election season, you hear the same spiel,
especially from Democrats, you hear the same spiel, well, you know,
you know, universal healthcare or abortion in and oh, we'll pay your student
debt. And nothing happens, nothing ever happens. And quite frankly, I'm
glad, I'm glad. I'm glad that it does not happen because it continues,
It continues to wake people up, slowly, but it still wakes people
up. But I do feel bad for those that continue to fall for the
narrative due to some politicians fake promises. They only care about power and power
only. They only care about their agenda and agenda only. And you want
to know why people keep bringing up all the pppee loans, You need to
really look into what that actually is. And another thing these politicians are don't
care about your money. They don't care about what you're making. If they
care about do you need us, because oh guess what, we'll give you
this, We'll give you this. Biden human angus, humongous tax Oh my
gosh, I can't even explain. I can't even fat like, I can't
even I can't even get to the point to where I need to break it
down to explain how how our taxes have increased. And he wants to say
Bidenomics, Oh, Bidenomics, we're gonna build from the middle, middle out,
not from the top down. Excuse me? Does that? Does that?
You know? Are you holding your son accountable for that as well?
They guess he did some crazy stuff. It's just it's insane to me.
It's insane to me that people continue to fall for that rhetoric and these gen's
ears are so they so want change, and I think everybody wants to change,
right, we all want change, we all want a better life,
we all want a healthier earth. There's no doubt, doubt, there's no
doubt that. But they the gen zars are so so manipulative that they believe
it. And I understand because they're young and they need to learn it.
But that's scary that they're praying on the younger generation, literally praying on our
younger generation, and the school systems are failing them as well. They're not
teaching them the outside part of everything. They're not teaching you know, they
only have one They only have one lesson that they want to teach, and
that's it. And it's sad. I really feel like millennials had the last
chance to have that foundation of learning where we know to look outwards. I
had a historian teacher. Okay, he was a legitimate historian and my senior
year at high school and he was off grid, right. He didn't,
let you know, no cable, no TV. His kids were like in
the woods. It was insane and it was so I didn't I didn't understand
it at the time, but the more I grew up and the more I
have done my own research, I'm like, WHOA, I think his name
was mister Harris. You literally taught me a valuable life lesson and for that
I'm forever thankful. It could be wrong in his name. I have to
I have to look, but I really do think it's mister Harris. But
he totally off the grid, and he took us to like I think it
was like our only field ship senior year, um where he was. I
went to a trade school, and um, he took us to this place
where it was in the woods and we saw like, you know, World
War One memorabilia and World War Two, and it was it was freaking cool
at that age. Though, I don't think we necessarily understand how critical and
how important it is to know our history. We just you know, we're
being shoved down these dates that we can't ever remember. But I continued my
education in history, in history in my adult years. Actually, these last
five years, I've just gone nose deep into learning my history because it is
extremely true when they say history repeats yourself, like just think of it.
Just think of it as like clothing trends. Everything comes back, right,
There's always the cycle of oh, retro or you know what I'm saying.
I know it's not the same as clothes, but in the same thought process
of things coming back around, it's totally true. And to understand how we
prevented the negative way of living, how we learned how to not do that.
We can't let that be forgotten. We can't let wars be forgotten.
We can't let slavery be forgotten. We can't let you know, fascism and
socialism be forgotten. We can't let the Holocaust be forgotten. We can't let
any of this to be forgotten. We can't let our following fathers be forgotten.
We can't let the idea, the idea of what America is, to
be forgotten. We can't remold a freedom of a country that is based strictly
on freedom and you know, prosperity to become a socialist country. We can't
allow that to happen or people, or we will fail as a society.
People are running here, pouring through our borders for a better life, majority
of them, some of them are taking advantage of this and committing heinous crimes
on our citizens. But you have to think, if America is so bad,
why are we why why are people pouring into our country and why people
are seeking education in our country? But to rely on the government is what
I'm getting. But to rely on the government to solve all problems will only
cause more problems. We will no longer be free, we will no longer
have the equal opportunities that we have. We will no longer have competition,
which then creates you know, scientific breakthroughs or medicine, or thriving businesses or
people who will be successful in this life because we're all said at the same
amount. How equal. That doesn't sound like equal to me in theory sounds
great in reality, it's not. And with that, I'm going to let
you guys go. Thank you so much for joining my podcasts. I love
the support for those that continue to share and continue to listen to my episodes.
You are true rock stars and you are helping a girl's dream come true.
And remember America is the best country. It has been the most successful
country. And just remember we're all in this together. We all want the
same thing. We all want we all want the same thing. And with
that, I will see y'all next week. This has been a presentation of
