    What experts are you talking about?

    So you don’t believe that for the past 40 years, the prevalent career advice given to the youth is to go to college? The experts range from professors, politicians, executives, economists, K-12 schools, to pretty much anybody that chimes in on what everyone should do after high school. If you’re unaware of the advice given for half a century to young adults, then its no surprise you’re a completely out of touch moron.

    If people didn’t research before hand, they are the only ones to blame. Yes the automotive market sucks, yes the housing market sucks. That doesn’t mean crying about it and waiting for a handout will fix anything.

    You’re absolutely right, which is why its important to recognize the problem and then support the policies that fix it, because the free rigged market’s only been making it worse.

    I didn’t have any spoons. When was going to college I realized I couldn’t afford it and the degree I wanted wasn’t going to work for me, got a job, worked my ass off hopping from job to job trying to find something. When my car broke down, I didn’t get the car I want, I got a car that works and can get me places.

    That you had the means, indicates you had a privilege the majority of people don’t have. Luck got you through all that, not your hard work. Contribution bias is a bitch, and it’s time you recognize it. Refusing to acknowledge the role luck played for you is exactly what makes you an asshole.

    You are your safety net. You shouldn’t expect someone else to pick up after you when you make mistakes unless you are a child.

    So by your own logic, we should abolish the ADA, disability, and social security, along with public highways, streetlights, and EMTALA. We should just all be our own safety nets, and fall over dead because of bad luck. It seems like you’re all about luck that favors you, while discounting the misfortunes that happen to others. Sounds like a typical conservative, privatize your profits but subsidize your losses eh?

    People like you confuse want and need.

    EMTALA passed a real long time ago because we as a country decided that life should take value over “muh profits”. I should remind you, EMTALA was signed into law by Reagan. People need a home, access to healthcare, and a way to get to work. Since public transit is unpopular in most of North America, cars are the option available. Funny how you twist my words around to assume when I say “and they can’t afford a reliable vehicle” you infer that I meant a “fancy car”. Same for the allegory of a place to live. People are expected to pay thousands per month for shitty housing infected with bed bugs, roaches, or have faulty heating and electrical.

    Judging by the terrible grammar, I’ll bet you’ve been working on your degree for a very long time, and will continue to do so. I’m convinced you’re lying, and that you actually are an ignorant 50+ year old dumbass boomer. You’re so full of shit or you’re so out of touch, your idiotic and flaccid opinions may as well be scrawled in shit on the side of some dank subway tunnel, with flies buzzing around it.

    Enjoy extinction, you’re a dinosaur.

      I’m aware that people are pushed to go to college. I’m just not a moron enough to think that every degree is worth the same at the end of the day. If you didn’t study up on your path in life, well tough shit. You decided to get a degree in humanities, well your going to live with the consequences. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about when it comes to what you study mattering. Unless you really didn’t pass middle school reading comprehension and still somehow can act high and mighty. The problem isn’t just the “system” it’s also about the individual. I actually am starting to feel bad for you. I understand the exact kind of person you are. The kind that can’t comprehend that they didn’t work hard enough so all they can do it say everyone else is lucky. I’m sorry sweetheart. You just suck. Nice straw man, I hate bringing up these kind of terms but your responses are typical social media brain damaged crap. It’s sweet you think you can argue. Ohhh, thousands for a shit house? So your going to blame other people that you aren’t smart enough to move somewhere cheaper and with a better quality of life? What’s next? You gonna blame Trump that your shoes are untied? Those damn conservatives. Got any other hot button words to throw out? Enjoy the image of that subway tunnel, that’s the only place your simple minded, victim mentality, my problems are everyone else’s fault, attitude will get you. I’m sure once you get some real life under your belt, you’ll realize how. cringy you sounded. Well hopefully. Just remember, money only solves money problems. Your are still the same person on the inside. You can get your student loans erased, you will just find something else to bitch about. A happy life cannot be bought, it has to be earned. Go out there and get it, maybe you’ll stop being so miserable. First step is to stop blaming everything else on your issues and look inside.
