Have you considered trade school?

2018-08-08 13:05:03 UTC  

No money for tuition.

2018-08-08 13:05:06 UTC  

Ah

2018-08-08 13:05:35 UTC  

I'd want to pay my own way through such a thing. Which is impossible.

2018-08-08 13:08:14 UTC  

It's *astounding* how little boomers understand what's happening.

2018-08-08 13:08:28 UTC  

"You get a job flipping burgers and pay for college that way! That's what I did!"

2018-08-08 13:08:48 UTC  

What do you even do? They actually believe this is still how it works.

2018-08-08 13:08:57 UTC  

How is it possible you're the potential first person to tell them?

2018-08-08 13:09:00 UTC  

How can they not know?

2018-08-08 13:11:27 UTC  

This whole nightmare would be at least easier to navigate if more people KNEW what was going on. Conversations could begin.

2018-08-08 13:11:38 UTC  

But only the people with the least power even know about how little power they have.

2018-08-08 13:12:08 UTC  

Everyone else assumes the gears are turning just fine. "You get a job, you go to college, you get a career!"

2018-08-08 13:12:17 UTC  

"Simple! Nuff said. That's all there is to it. Fact."

2018-08-08 13:12:25 UTC  

"PERIOD."

2018-08-08 13:14:51 UTC  

When few have college education, college education has value. When everyone has college education, they end up snooping through your social media accounts...to see if you're the "right stuff".

2018-08-08 13:15:30 UTC  

If something the boomers thought was true, still was, there wouldn't be a problem.

2018-08-08 13:15:31 UTC  

not having taken economics, I assume this is as simple as supply and demand

2018-08-08 13:15:41 UTC  

That whole idea of walking up to the manager and looking straight in the eye

2018-08-08 13:15:54 UTC  

"I'm the first one in, last one out. I'm your guy!!"

2018-08-08 13:15:57 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-08-08 13:16:27 UTC  

Doesn't work like that. You'll get halfway through asking for the manager before getting an annoyed look: "The application is online.. Just fill that out and blahbblablblhl"

2018-08-08 13:17:18 UTC  

If we could reconnect a tactile sense of humanity to all of this, everything would improve.

2018-08-08 13:17:32 UTC  

The solution could even be demonstrated with positive results, and still, no one would follow it.

2018-08-08 13:17:44 UTC  

"Hey Cobra Kai is really popular."

2018-08-08 13:17:49 UTC  

"Yeah and it's against social justice."

2018-08-08 13:17:54 UTC  

"Think there's a connection?"

2018-08-08 13:17:57 UTC  

"No don't be silly."

2018-08-08 13:18:00 UTC  

"Haha."

2018-08-08 13:18:02 UTC  

"Hoho."

2018-08-08 13:19:12 UTC  

You guys imagine if we made Cobra Kai but it was PRO social justice. o:

2018-08-08 13:19:16 UTC  

It would be GANGBUSTERS!!

2018-08-08 13:19:27 UTC  

These fools, they've missed out on a grand opportunity. And it's ours, all ours.

2018-08-08 13:19:56 UTC  

no idea what that is

2018-08-08 13:20:33 UTC  

Cobra Kai is the youtube red series continuation of Karate Kid

2018-08-08 13:20:39 UTC  

Cobra Kai were the bad guys in the first movie.

2018-08-08 13:20:43 UTC  

no idea what youtube red is

2018-08-08 13:20:46 UTC  

...

2018-08-08 13:20:53 UTC  

You're very behind sir.

2018-08-08 13:21:02 UTC  

probably

2018-08-08 13:21:19 UTC  

or way ahead
