re: #78 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

Millennials are pissed off at capitalism because so many of them are saddled in college loan debt and, to a lesser degree, medical debt from the crappy insurance plans they’ve been stuck with. Starting one’s professional career $100k+ in the hole is no laughing matter. That takes a lot of time to pay off, unless you happen to be a fucking sports star.

When I got out of college had problems paying off the $8,250 I borrowed. When I started at Pitt in 1973 Tuition and Room & board were both $405. Now they are 15X as much!

in 2016 we hired kids in our office whose college debt approached $100K. It’s f’n insane. But this is part of the Republican Master Plan to dumb down the masses.
