7. The dumbing down continues....

Only rich kids deserve to get a degree. Poor kids should just forget all that and get to work. No union protection, no retirement plan, “right to work state”, no social safety net. Fuck you, get to work and do that until you die. Fuck you, you should have been born rich.
Oh, and if you lost your job, it’s because that brown person (who the government says I don’t have to pay as much) took your JOB!!!!!

Sad reality. I’m not advocating that everyone needs to get a college degree, I was able to ge an Associates degree via my experience in the military, but there are an overwhelming amount of jobs that the requirement is a Bachelor degree. Fortunately for me, I’m close to being able to retire retire and don’t need to worry about it anymore.

Many successful people went into trades, they are a valuable commodity in our shared society, but with no protections and states that catered to business over employees what’s the point of going to a trade school and becoming an apprentice with the hope of 3 or more years later becoming a certified tradesman.

Saint ronny wanted a service economy, all that he wanted is here. Media will convince everyone that you don’t need education, you need to get to work. Media will convince everyone that you can’t trust a union, they are leftist or in the case of teachers unions, they want to indoctrinate your kids.
Media will convince everyone that the way to your prosperity is dependent on YOU, work for yourself, not the “man” and do your own investing for yourself retirement. Every stockbroker can’t wait for the dumbasses to come calling.

Sorry for the rant, Cardinals suck and I have Scotch…

Cheers everyone
