After watching this, and also studying the Stanford experiment. It seems to me the source of much human conflict isn’t sex like the sociologist hypothesized, but class structures. But he seemed to refuse to even entrain that possibility.

I come from a red state that is waging war on all public education, especially higher education. They have slashed budgets and closed many programs including trades that I forcing tuition to skyrocket.

I think there are still opportunities for people just finishing, but that’s in areas with strong unions which isn’t much of America unfortunately.

Oh I wasn’t trying to throw shade by any means, in my state they are the same license. My point is when I was in college, there was a large cosmetology school across town that was like $1500 to complete your license. It was seen as a cheaper alternative to college, with a decent career path. Now that same program is nearly 10x as much, it’s still cheaper than college but not by much.

Trade school tuition is already skyrocketing. In my home area hair school is $12,000 and a journeyman’s license will set you back $25,000.
Getting education in a trade is cheaper for now but is quickly catching up to a university degree. Once they hit parity will there be an advantage? I guess AI isn’t coming for plumbers anytime soon.
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 3 weeks ago:
Generations of conservative politicians have sold Americans the idea that government should be run like a business. That if it were fun like a business it would be sunshine and rainbows with low taxes, and high quality services. Many people do genuinely believe this.
- Comment on How come NK doesn't just come out and say we are in trouble and need help? Like their lack of food and stuff? I really don't see a downside for a country admit they were wrong and need help 4 weeks ago:
They already get lots of money without admitting their system sucks.
You assume those in charge are interested in helping out the average citizen, they aren’t.
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 1 month ago:
I don’t live in America, and many people here actually do use MAGA or Trumpism to describe the local right wing people and parties because they are largely just copying America…
