least for the US, it’s a direct consequence of the federal student aid process. a pipeline literally written by investment bankers to milk the american public for every $ they could instead of taxing rich people for the public good.
schools naturally want as much of this $ as they can as well so they lower standarda and just let anyone through, it’s not their problem if someone doesn’t learn anything
tbf wolf of wallstreet is a pretty accurate representation of how the US markets operate. it’s all one big rigged casino designed to seperate people from their $ in the name of “providing liquidity”
what gave it away…the republican endorsements at the DNC?
the “benefits” are mostly people with addictions losing their executive disfunctions. re-realizing you can just…do things you want to do is powerful experience
plenty of oligarchs in the US are making bank on this, MIC has had the whole government by the balls pretty much since WW2
pretty sure they’re just asking for sources
i prefer vintage story
as someone who can’t be bothered to watch Lost, what are some of the reasons given for him remaining fat?
escalator up, elevator down
seriously, what the fuck is/was Epic doing with 4000+ employees?
they don’t make games and the team that develops UE is apparently <200 people.
3800 people being paid to…add nothing to their game store?
i prefer “i’m not superstitious”, because that’s what all religions are
i always liked how bleach’s creator justified fanservice, instead of some long-winded in-universe reasoning he just went “i like big titties”
i’m austistic and love the word retard, really don’t understand peoples need to be offended for others. it’s not remotely close to the n-word, saying “r-word” just makes you seem like a tool imo
while i understand where that comes from…hard not agree accelerationism is working.
the american people as a whole are…kind of dumb as shit (this being by design, our public education system meant specifically to make compliant factory workers), many will only learn through direct personal pain.
someone correct me if i’m wrong, but wasnt it not till the great depression that the US has its first major surge in left-wing activism. maybe we just need a economic collapse so severe and widespread that it scars a generstion into thinking “maybe we do need to work together to survive”, regardless of how some talking head on a screen tells them to feel about their neighbors
it’s a big club and we’re not in it
