re: #9 ggt

So, what you were told (go to college, get a degree, get a job) was wrong. Yeah, that sucks. Find another way.

It’s not just that it turned out to be wrong: it was made wrong. Adressing that and correcting it is essential to “finding another way”.

There is no sense in telling the victims of the fraud that has been committed that they just need to bootstrap themselves out of the hole others dug them in to.

Demanding justice is not naive, it is the only way any civil society works. Dismissing that demand with “life’s a bitch” is not realistic but merely cynical.
