For all the "Ra Ra you can succeed by going to school and taking 100K of debt" nonAnon out there, I want to give you some background on me and my complaint from the last bread.
I get my health insurance paid by being a full-time worker for a branch of a government, but I make my own schedule and am pretty much unsupervised. My real work is owning several companies in various stages of startup.
You have no idea how rigged the system is. I was just like these "i got a good college" fags when I was 18. I had a ego the size of TX because I was going to be a doctor and got into every top 10 biomed engineering program in the country and a full ride plus pocket money to at least one of them (Texas A&M). Like a dumbass I went to one that cost 20K a year at the time, because it was #2 instead of #7.
I wound up being a lawyer instead. I have at least 3 professional federal licenses besides the ones I've mentioned. In the course of becoming a lawyer, I learned about the true underpinnings of our financial system.
The academia to upper middle class trajectory is nothing more than a false meritocracy. Bankers print money, every one else works for it. For good grades, and degrees they pay you a little more so you can buy a nicer car and house. Ultimately, you wind up working constantly for daily bread.
If you have to keep a job to maintain your lifestyle, you are not a free person. You are working on a centuries (millennia) old model called Babylonian debt slavery.
The truth is, that any one of you should be able to provide all the materials you need to life your life on your own plot of land with about 20 hours a week of labor and trading. The reason you can't is the governments and bankers destroy your ability to do this with regulations and a financial system that will not allow you to preserve the monetary value of your labor.
If you are in the middle class, you have been programmed to think, "work hard you'll succeed" and those who are not successful are not working hard or somehow inferior to you. The truth is almost all individual seek higher levels of responsibility (Any non shill head shrink knows this), and that is universal. There will always be some lazy people but they are the ones who go after the gov't and banker jobs, where you do no meaningful work and get to keep everything.
There are very few reasons that any individual actually deserves several hours of other people's labor for a single hour of his/her own. This is a legal fiction that we should tolerate only when it makes society more productive.
The best way to elminate "free riders" is a sound money standard, and we do not have that. This is the thing that we have to make sure we get. Why do we all know so little about money, when we spend the majority of our waking hours pursuing it? That is by design. Understanding this building block leads to understanding the rest of the system.
