that's an interesting video, wooz, and it makes a lot of sense. food for thought, any way. i like the bit where he mentions the cost of educating 10,000 children being less than the cost of educating 100. so if schools are more efficient, have more people attending them, how is the price going up?
i guess the problem is that the government knows how to extend hope to the consumers. credit allows us to feel like no matter what we do, we'll always have money. there's none of that "well people simply can't pay for it, so they have to slash the price and in turn lower the operation cost" because no matter how much shit costs, we'll always buy it with money we don't have and worry about the bills later.
but lets not confuse the issue with facts. it takes 4 years to fund an irrelevant degree where we come away with maybe 30k in debt and hopes of making an average 40k salary and somehow purchase a home that costs 300k while paying of the debt to that irrelevant degree that only allows you to work some shitty job where you're expected to put in double the effort so the corporate douchewads can cut costs to turn over more profit. wahoo. this is the life we can all look forward too. oh but i forgot, if i "work hard enough" - which is just another way of saying "know the right people and cough up enough cash and time to the education system" - i have a hope at earning a very successful living and becoming one of the corporate douchewads that does the fucking rather than receives it, which is exactly why this system is allowed to survive in america. everyone thinks they're going to be a part of the 1% when, naturally, only 1% is going to be part of the 1%. 100% hopeful, 1% successful, and when the 99% leftover realizes what a shitty system it is to hope you luck into being fucker and not a fuckee, you get all this "occupy" bullshit. but the cycle will continue as nobody wants to do anything about it before they get fucked because of that hope.
life's a circle. you feel like a hamster?
