College should have never been presented as the only way to the middle class. In high school they shutdown my advanced trades class, maybe I could have been ready to hop into a decent job after graduation.

I recently spoke to a young art school grad who talked about getting on disability over a life of the corporate grind.

Who am I to disagree ? The Pentagon has never passed an audit, the government coffers are effectively a slush fund for defense contractors.

At this point, I think a universal basic income is the only way.

Not enough jobs exist for everyone. Poverty doesn’t need to exist

Not unless you were willing to compete on price against people in China learning the same advanced trades.
