Do you think that the first part of this question is already resolved?

predictedNO

@jorge I'm deferring to Metaculus on this, which gives 88% probability. The remaining uncertainty is about whether it actually happens (rather than the executive order being struck down in the courts, which I don't think is on the cards but I think is in theory possible) and whether the student loan forgiveness is enough to meet the 90% of debt holders threshold.
