Hello, thank you for your AMA on this topic. Do you think it is a good idea for the Biden, or any administration, to cancel student debt via executive order, without congress (I know) first addressing the predatory lending practices that lead students to acquire that debt to begin with? I'm concerned that if one generation of student debt is relieved by a debt bailout, that it will simply lead to later generations stuck in the same predicament and wanting another bailout, much as we have seen in the predatory practices of banks, housing markets, airlines, agriculture, churches, fossil fuels etc . . .

Katee, There is wind in space, there is wind on the planets, do you think there is wind within the atoms that cause chaos and dictate the flow of the sub-atomic particles?

Why do cities that are near freeways tend to add more and more stop lights that seem to add to the congestion getting onto the freeway from city streets, rather than relieve it? Also how much influence do wealthy citizens in wealthy neighborhoods have on city planners, when it comes to traffic engineering in the way of making their specific neighborhoods have easier/faster access to freeways/city centers? Thanks for your time, I find this very interesting.
