For visitors to this thread: I would really recommend that you scroll down a little bit to find the person who was claiming that aktually this is all Biden's fault, and then trying to defend it like it made total sense when people asked WTF they were on about. It is interesting.

He could raise money by taxing billionaires who wouldn't suffer but he goes after people who took out loans for education. He also looks especially toad-like in that image.

Didn't this guy default on most of his loans several times?

He also ripped off contractors

Trump supporters can't even read, much less take any kind of higher education degree

While that may be the statistical correlation, it’s not true as a blanket statement

lol, you think most of those guys went to college?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Doesn't take a lot to get through college

Umass boston was largely a joke. I do agree with that.

It's mostly a time and money sink for a piece of paper unless you're going into a profession that requires it... though you don't usually need a degree, instead you need to pass various certifications. There's even wacky exceptions like not needing a degree at all to take the BAR exam in Vermont.

Then there's the hyper conservative colleges out there.... I couldn't tell you at all how those go but I wouldn't assume very well.

College in the US is largely a big day-care system which interferes with the students' ability to cope with realities of adult life, if they didn't come in with it already, and also a money gate which serves to keep people away from high-paying jobs unless they come from a wealthy family or are willing to enter an indentured servitude relationship.

It has some other subsidiary functions, some of them legitimately important, and education is a wonderful and crucial thing. College in America has been drifting further and further away from education, though, as the society it is forced to exist within has been steadily cared less and less about education with every passing decade.

This dildo is practically asking for another attempt on his life.
