@curiouscat3384 In 1970, working full time over the summer for minimum wage was enough to cover all tuition and fees at the major state universities. This was WONDERFUL for young people. Now, they do online image tending and get consultants for all their applications. They don't learn work, they learn propaganda. Tell your sister that. NO WONDER the young are depressed. This is horrible.

@thegoodsmaster Does any of this sound like anything real is being produced? Oh, and more and more of academia is on the list, too. See the documentary on the 2008 crash, Inside Job. There are few honest economists around anymore, not even various "distinguished professors," and Nobel Prize winners. (Or maybe especially not them?)

@curiouscat3384 Total agreement. You are so right. And if someone can become independently wealthy and set themselves and their children and grandchildren up for life in a matter of years, where is their incentive to do real work?? I read this on a French website: Two billion dollars is nearly a million a year since the birth of Jesus. There's a perspective for you. Not to mention most of this money is then placed offshore. Gawd, what they get away with!

@Suze, @thegoodsmaster Exactly! And I am serious when I say so many new "jobs" involve propaganda production: all MSM, all social media, advertising, marketing, public relations, think tanks, NGOs, foundations, PACs and other lobbying organizations, all political party jobs . . . I am sure I am forgetting something big.
