The Borg are all races and Romulans, though majority portrayed as white, likely have multiple skin tones the same way the Vulcans do. Though the idea they purged different skin tones at some point fits with their overall narrative.

All the Dominion races were white, more or less. The Changelings have a whole meta commentary going for them.

Might have been true with Star Trek as of early TNG, but not sure it's been that way since. I imagine there was uproar around Tuvok being a black Vulcan, but would be hard to imagine Trek fans caring about that today.

Many of these students lay at the generational divide between college guaranteeing a great job (during the generation when most people went to high school and then trade) and college being a prerequisite for any job (today). And those universities only became so expensive because the federal govt guaranteed loans in the first place. University is radically more expensive than it was a few decades ago.

It's not as simple as you lay it out to be.

Though result would just be a lot less people able to go to college.

IIRC, PAYE requires you to pay taxes on the amount forgiven. Depending on how large that is, this just repeats the cycle outside of this "student loan" bucket.

The vaccine has been well demonstrated to provide significant reduction of both of those, actually greater than any prior vaccine for the original strain of COVID.

The key infectious strains we see today are variants that, in no small part due to increasing herd immunity to prior strains, are microevolutionarily driven to evolve around the vaccines. The same way the flu develops strains that bypass vaccine protections throughout the year.

Even with the different variants, the vaccines have reduced the transmissibility and infection rates vs nonvaccinated individuals, with some allowance in limited datasets (ie. Ottawa) for behavioral changes between vaccinators and nonvaccinators.

Not sure where you acquired your misinformation, but you may need better sources.

How do you think vaccines don’t contribute to herd immunity?

This could just as easily be related to increased infections among young people at this time. You have no reason to pin this specifically on vaccination.

Two wildly different issues. Medical debt is still generally owed to payers, student loan debt (as considered in debt relief) is largely federal. The impacts of forgiveness of either would seem radically different.
