Loan percents? So what if someone has a lower amount, you don't, you agreed to what you got, and knew what you were getting... and took the loan anyways.
Same with paychecks, people agree to the job knowing what it paid, and then complain they don't get paid enough if a coworker gets more? Then learn to negotiate better next time
Apparently I had first mover disadvantage; the borrowers with the low interest rates borrowed after I did, hence changing the rules in the middle of the game.
Not really, you could have consolidated at lower rates when they were available like I did.

And you also expected you were getting a decent job that would cover the loan payments and plenty more.
The borrowers complaining are those who got the expected downside without the expected upside.
I think you just realized why you are where you are vs other people. Congrats
shrug. the IBR freeloaders were given an option not available to me when I defaulted.
I'd love to know the logic that says I can afford to pay 10% of my income toward my student loans, but the IBR borrower with greater income cannot afford to pay one cent.
