Tuition is high because the feds give out so much free money to pay for it. I want all the free money gone, the grants and the subsidized loans. Starve the universities.
Dude, I go to a community, and I plan on transferring after my A.A. this is probably the only money i'll take out for college. It's a massive help for me personally. What would you suggest I do if pell grants are gone? I still want to pursue a education in my major.

Nothing, because along with abolishing Pell grants, I support bulldozing all universities and salting the earth.
 
A college education is a liability, not an asset
Depends. Most people prefer that you have a degree over anything. It's only a liability because of the price of most colleges. Most people who work in trades would rather work in an office compared to out in the field if given the option
 
If you still have the chart, could you post it?

I'm not a journalist. I want to stick to only publicly released info here. I'm not looking to air anyone's business anywhere. This is only a hobby for me.

If you're interested tho, just start connecting dots on paper. Who pays who? Who invites who to which events? Who's married to who? How do timelines line up? Where did they work? Who were their parents? You'll find there are many connections and direct gladhanding no one talks about, which will allow you to suspect other connections... which often end up later being admitted or forced into the open.

Given this forum's focus and political bent, I'm surprised no one ever talks about any of it...or very little of it.

Only one problem with that:

Absolutely. We agree. After about 2000, the world was in a bind. The US global reserve system (much more opaque and obscure than the public will ever know) was the best we had for global finance and economy. We used it for our benefit, obv, but it wasn't designed to do what it does, so it's very "broken" or you could say has lots of problems. It has little elasticity, for example. You're pointing out one of these problems (depending on your viewpoint) and it's a growing issue.

Personally I think the US has cut a deal with the other major powers to globalize governance at an elite level while regionalizing power blocks to continue resource extraction. This is why MAGA believes they're winning, as the US is regionalized and it appears the "Deep State" is on the retreat (and made to look that way), but if you acktually follow things, it is merely being shifted to an all out global, total police state system. This is why no one should have been surprised when the administration, apropos of nothing, started talking about taking over Greenland, Canada, etc. This will be one of the regionalized power blocks. If anyone bothered to read anything, you've have already known it was coming.

Thanks for coming to my circlejerk.

Get a job, work and school at the same time. Tough it out. Countless others before you have had to.
 
Be wary of CFR and any points they’re putting across. These are the people who persuaded Obama to cuck over the individual mandate in the ACA. Their current president, Neera Tanden, was Biden’s staff secretary and allegedly hers was the hand on the auto pen that authored all the screwball social engineering.

If they tell you the sky is blue think twice.

Fuck that. The thought of sitting in an office all day makes me want to suck start a shotgun
 
On the subject of reserve currencies, it’s more likely that the concept just ceases to exist, than some other currency takes over.

The trend has been towards diversified currencies for the last decade.

Good info. Thank you. Too many people don't understand: there doesn't have to be a reserve currency. Also, cash dollars are not the only or even primary instrument in the current global reserve system.

Really it's my belief those in charge are working on a new global reserve...which won't be cash money at all and won't look like money in a way people even understand. I sort of laughed at the convo you all had about beads and shells being money historically....because that's true but new theories of money, which are being implemented, are far more interesting.
