      I hope it crashes honestly. Sharp short term pain is a far better than this engineered, perpetual state of tens of millions barely subsisting to meet the growth/metastasis expectations of our plutocrat owner class. It’s never enough for them, and today will look like paradise if they continue to get their way.

      That’s wishful thinking, but make no mistake, this exploitative economy cannot be repaired. It is too corrupted, too controlled by the tiny class of beneficiaries at the top through governmental and regulatory capture. The worst case is that it survives this and survives the climate apocalypse it caused, because that just means generational misery without end.

      I’m sorry you and your family are struggling, it’s wrong, and it speaks ill of me and all my fellow Americans to allow it to continue.

      How much student debt did you get and what degrees did you get? Any reasonable degree and as long as you didn’t just waste time at college for 10 years on a bachelors, you should be completely fine.

        “should be” doesn’t account for the realities of the hiring process, the intense credential inflation, or being positioned well enough to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.

        People didn’t go out and get useless degrees, they were trained for fields that were rendered obsolete by the time they graduated and are facing intense competition with absurd requirements.
