Capitalism ruins everything it touches, and destroys anything that gets in in its way. The only thing that matters now is money. The USSR used to set the standard (Were the only people who stood for something other than money, and could back it up with military power), but ever since they disappeared, the rich have slowly been realizing they can go back to treating people like objects again. The importance of education and knowledge? pptttttttttthhhhhttttt. An honest day's hard work? pppppptttttttttthhhhhhttt. Doing the right thing? pppppttttttthhhhhtttttt. Helping your fellow man? ppppttttttttthhhhhttt. Respect for all labor, from the college professor or mayor, to the ice cream man or janitor? pppptttttthhhhhhhttttt. The only thing that matters now is money. I mean really, it's been going in that direction since the 1960s, so probably something else going on, like the tax on the rich declining from 100% during WW2, to 30% today. Unionization dropping from above 40% post-WW2, to 11% today. The rich have been taking back control they lost during the New Deal era. We'll soon be back to having children losing their arms in machinery again. Already had news recently of children found working cleaning cutting-machinery in meat processing factories. 1960s was the age of "decolonization" and the transition to neocolonization. From Boots Bombs Bullets Barracks and Bayonets (traditional colonialism), to Banks Bonds Businesses Police and IMF Loans (neocolonialism). Post WW2, the US took over as colonizer of the 3rd World from Britain, which allowed the US to start to increase its standard of living above the USSR, which lead to the USSR being jealous of the US's living standards and to its eventual downfall. Once the US's (and therefore the rest of the West, which are just puppets of the US) living standard was higher than the USSR, the capitalists had "won" and were justified in going back to treating people like objects again. Especially after the USSR collapsed, and the further deindustrialization and financialization of the US economy during the 90s.

That's why it should be fucking free. Why is there a profit motive in fucking schools? I teach at a university, these days it is a race to the bottom to keep the kids (aka your customers) happy any way you can because they are your cash inflow, thanks to years of neoliberal management gutting government funding and professor protections like tenure.

I wish I could block you.

This comment made me laugh and got me yelled at in the office. Cheers.

Dude would never work in higher Ed again in his life

it's about legitimacy and first hand experience. I'm not fully disagreeing with what you're saying but this person's perspective is harder to dismiss as it is based on first hand experience rather than connecting the dots and desk reserch.

@@Enothrae That’s fair

He’s saying enough that the university system would retaliate against him. Sorry if a lot of it is banal and not spicy thriller movie stuff
