Universities were destroyed on purpose. Look what happened in society in the 1960s and 1970s when they were well funded, mostly autonomous and nearly tuition free. Education is greatest threat to autocracy. Well educated youth have the power to wreck it all for kleptocrats.

The conspiracy, Chris, is 10 administrators for every real teacher, and posh dorms, facilities, and amenities that did not exist on university campuses 30 years ago. Since the government was willing to loan whatever universities charged, there were no market forces to halt these trends.

The assumption here is college is a necessity to get ahead in life. Our entire high school experience is geared towards college. Whatever happened to auto repair? Trade school? Apprenticeships? Welding? We have a society that LOOKS DOWN on those that do not have a degree but these same folks keep our economy running.

Yeah, but The People Who Matter can just send their offspring to private school, so why should they care?

And what Important People want, Important People get.

All part of the evil corpocratic kleptocracy plan to take humans back to the dark ages of base survival greed ignorance and dividend rule. Uk is stuffed too. It sickens me to see greed and systemic discrimination and isolation of disabled woman like me who see it all for what it all is. Another form of Nazi fascism designed to cause pain and suffering and internal fighting for survival. All planned . I need to get out of UK they have removed services from me and are mentally torturing this autistic. I need help. My country is nazi at every level

All because Ralph Nader and similar folks tried to get a better America. Private equity firms, ownership of homes by investors should be outlawed - the rich only consider their right to profit by whatever means okay. dumb enough to die for the country that considers you extra baggage is the goal of today's enslavers. biden bombed the pipeline and should be sent to a Russian zoo where people of the world can throw feces at him imo.
