    Neo cons unironically love all of those degrees, at least in the US. Don’t forget that student loans are a big business.

    Non-occupational degrees give a steady supply of young workers with massive debt and qualifications that won’t enable them to get a job with a high enough wage to pay back the principle of that debt.

    This is how the gig economy flourishes.

    This is how Amazon stays in business.

    This is how the hospitality industry thrives on a deliberately broken business model.

    This is how landlords profit.

    This is how the post-boomer generations are oppressed.

    We are cannon fodder.

    Rise up.

    Become ungovernable.

      I was with you, but I don’t think becoming “ungovernable” would help anything. Cool slogan and all but seems pretty counterproductive.

        It’s really just a call to change by not playing by their rules, eg get a degree and then move to a jurisdiction where the loan people can’t get to you, or get a degree from another country where it’s less expensive.

        I’m not really advocating for riots or anything.
