I really wish e,players had to give a valid justification for requiring a degree. So, any jobs require one for no damn reason other than elitism.

They don't even borrow their money to you, they were granted the right to print that money.

Unless you live in a country with free education. Or borrow from a credit union. Or work as a contractor. Other that that, very Spot On.

If you're living in country with free education you borrow money from poor people to get education to make rich people richer and make poor people poorer. Taxes are regresive.

You borrow money from the country who takes it from every taxable entity in it so that everybody can get educated, become less of a burden for the social system, improve the lives of everyone on the country and not make dumb posts on the internet.

Civilized countries offer the poor far more in benefits than they would take in taxes such as the obvious health care and higher education, but housing, food allowances, and even preschool are available without the BS you have to put up with in the US to access such social safety net benefits if they’re even available at all. There’s a huge difference between the poor paying a little into a system that they can access without undue burden vs the US where they pay taxes and get nowhere near the benefits civilized countries offer.

Who are you making rich if you are self-employed? And how is you working making poor people poorer?

Where I'm from taxes are progressive...

It's just typical americans thinking every democracy is run like their little dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it seems to be very pronounced lately.

Don't forget they raise the cost every year to match what it's gonna cost to keep you on the whole wheel in case you get ahead

Sounds like every record deal when you put it that way.
