re: #143 Kid A

Congratulations, seriously. You did what most will never be able to do, and their financial futures are going to suffer and enrich the cockbags that prey on them.

The powers that be in the US have really set up a very efficient system.

Jobs are in chronic under supply, making everyone desperate to have one. One of the many benefits to capital of this state of affairs is the importance of education in improving one’s odds in the job market.

Thus education becomes insanely expensive, and capital is there, ready and waiting, to make indentured servants out of much of the work force. Making student loan debt persist through bankruptcy was a particularly galling recent law change to this effect.
