And advancing your collective education

2019-06-24 21:19:02 UTC  

If degrees are more accessible they become meaningless

2019-06-24 21:19:04 UTC  

I can't afford college so I don't know when I'll be able to go

2019-06-24 21:19:15 UTC  

Meaningless?

2019-06-24 21:19:29 UTC  

What's wrong with more degrees

2019-06-24 21:19:41 UTC  

Are you familiar with the concept of inflation?

2019-06-24 21:20:22 UTC  

I don’t think that’s how that works

2019-06-24 21:20:28 UTC  

Degrees are for learning and stuff

2019-06-24 21:20:31 UTC  

Knowledge

2019-06-24 21:20:44 UTC  

Educating people is good in itself

2019-06-24 21:20:49 UTC  

Regardless of the economy

2019-06-24 21:21:14 UTC  

If you want to get a good job you may need a college degree

2019-06-24 21:21:28 UTC  

Almost all jobs need degrees

2019-06-24 21:21:33 UTC  

If everyone can easily get one why would they hire you

2019-06-24 21:22:38 UTC  

So we should exclude other people from education just to get better jobs?

2019-06-24 21:23:18 UTC  

Or just enact a system in which that’s no longer the case

2019-06-24 21:24:18 UTC  

They aren't excluded

2019-06-24 21:24:43 UTC  

We live in a capitalistic society, with enough work they can acheive what they wish to

2019-06-24 21:25:01 UTC  

I mean,some more statistically minded friends of mine would agree with that notion

2019-06-24 21:25:06 UTC  

But I’m not good with numbers

2019-06-24 21:25:23 UTC  

So...what about the people that work hard but don’t end up achieving things?

2019-06-24 21:25:36 UTC  

They should work harder

2019-06-24 21:25:36 UTC  

Or people who don’t work at all that gain quite a lot?

2019-06-24 21:26:46 UTC  

Everyone that gains alot either started from the bottom or someone else did and passed on wealth to them

2019-06-24 21:27:06 UTC  

I’m not sure I agree

2019-06-24 21:27:14 UTC  

some people start off with significant advantages

2019-06-24 21:27:27 UTC  

And that’s not even taking into account sex and race discrimination

2019-06-24 21:27:38 UTC  

And,take for example

2019-06-24 21:27:40 UTC  

Yes because someone in their family worked hard

2019-06-24 21:27:41 UTC  

Jeff Bezos

2019-06-24 21:27:50 UTC  

His workers work like slaves

2019-06-24 21:27:57 UTC  

They make comparatively little

2019-06-24 21:28:09 UTC  

Considering he’s the richest man alive but doesn’t do much physical labor

2019-06-24 21:28:20 UTC  

That's how capitalism works

2019-06-24 21:28:38 UTC  

Ain’t that unethical then?

2019-06-24 21:28:43 UTC  

At least a little bit?

2019-06-24 21:28:56 UTC  

It's not about ethics

2019-06-24 21:29:05 UTC  

I disagree

2019-06-24 21:29:11 UTC  

It’s always about ethics matey

2019-06-24 21:30:06 UTC  

For example

2019-06-24 21:30:39 UTC  

We have a duty to remove unethical systems
Capitalism is an ethical system
Therefore capitalism should be removed
