      …how. I make plastic medical devices and I need to support them for 10 years by law, since that is considered “lifetime” for it. How is a company not supporting them before the lifetime of the product (i.e. before they need to take them out) and gets away with it?

        If your company goes bankrupt before 10 years is up, what happens?

            There was so much worry about lawyers going bankrupt on $5000 student loans… They had to stop it!

            Locked in till-death terms, skyrocketing tuition, and Sally Mae getting both the privilege of loaning and contracting with the government (and being paid to do so) to collect on defaulted loans.

            I’m sitting on about 8k left of a 30k loan and I’m really hoping to get some good news but I’m seeing now that our Republican friends want to reverse the forgiveness that’s been issued so far…

            Vote blue over Q and take everyone with you!

        They were probably still experimental and installed for a trial and that is likely legislated differently.

          Yeah, but for a trial to go forward, it needs to meet very specific criteria. This doesn’t sound like it did.
