Well, you seem to be living proof that America is the land of opportunity, and that few obstacles to achievement remain in higher education.

Actually... the education industry has worked hard to shame kids into getting a degree. It's how they have become the most powerful entity in the country. It's the same as the law makers overreaching and making laws "for our protection" when it's really to perpetuate the legal industry and put more money in their pockets.

It's all about money.

Because uneducated rednecks follow conspiracy theories, Fox lies, and elect right wing Fascists to be President and thus are a serious threat to humanity.

Trump is in love with Putin, the world will end in a fascist uprising of his followers. Obama had acres of FEMA caskets and those were conspiracy theories, but Trump and the daily BS from the left is driving them to riot, buy guns and bug-out bags, stockpile food and ammo, because the end of the world is coming.

Yep... one idiot to another... that makes perfect sense... right?

Bravo!!!

We are all idiots, it's just that some of us believe ourselves to be an idiot above the rest, which makes them morons. Morons among idiots, basically.



HILARIOUS!

When the German engineering company Siemens Energy opened a gas turbine production plant in Charlotte, N.C., some 10,000 people showed up at a job fair for 800 positions. But fewer than 15 percent of the applicants were able to pass a reading, writing and math screening test geared toward a ninth-grade education.

“The toolbox is now a computer,” said Andy Winnett,


Its a false narrative that the country club capitalist cares more for uneducated people than teachers, social workers and the government workers who are on the front lines of an uneducated citizenry.
