We need to invest more in our schools. We just don’t have the proper money to teach these kids.

I'm doing just fine. But this whole conversation is not about me an individual. It's about the macroeconomic factors fricking over several of the younger generations.

I was assured that massive illegal immigration, uncontrolled money printing, eagerness of companies to offshore jobs or bring in H-1Bs, and skyrocketing cost of living and inflation has absolutely no effect on your daily life and the real problem is that you’re just not trying hard enough.

I’d say one possible solution is Demeny voting, giving children a vote by proxy. It’s unusual for society to have an inverted age pyramid and to be so gerontocratic. I think the needs of the young need more representation, or you end up with policies like prop 13 or single family zoning that are essentially wealth transfers from young to old.

Absolutely not. The problem is that politicians don’t give a shite what their constituents think or want. They do whatever benefits them the most because there’s nothing the avg citizen can do about it. They also know that if they don’t do what they’re told, someone will replace them and play ball.

That isn't magically getting worse. It has always been dogshit. We used to call it growing up. Unfortunately, we have raised another generation with such warped expectations, that the slightest bit of adversity, discomfort, or inconvenience is the growing injustice of the universe.

Some of this is absolutely true. A lot of them think that luxuries are some sort of human right. I know a lot of them that actually work hard, do the right thing, plan, and save yet their prospects look grim. They’re supposed to compete in a business environment where a lot of companies view them as expendable, their entry level jobs are at risk of being squeezed out so investors can make and extra 0.001% or get offshored to some Indian for pennies on the dollar. Hell, telling them to go into a trade to compete with some illegal who’ll do the same job for $5/hr is starting to sound suicidal too.

Look, if their answer is they can’t do anything but just bitch, well then say so.

Everyone can do something no matter how small but to act as if they can get out of the massive quagmire that was created for them and is completely out of their hands by “just doing something” is about as retarded of an argument as you can make.

That’s like saying if the Germans would’ve just done something instead of bitching in Berlin in May of 1945, they could’ve won the war.

Perhaps they are the ones who convinced our parents, grandparents , Aunts, Uncles, mentors and teachers. I guess we should have had the foresight at 11 to shun all the grownups around us and opted for the welding academy.

His biggest mistake was saying “college loan corporations”. The biggest frickup ever made in education was taking student loans away from banks and allowing the govt to take over and guarantee the loan. University costs skyrocketed once that happened. I guess I can’t blame them. They’re getting free money on the backs of the kids they’re barely educating.
