re: #473 Eclectic Cyborg

The bigger point is this though: I am not in some weird minority. There are A LOT of people without financial support, educational support so they qualify for schooling, family support (because let’s face it, if you’re worried about food and a roof, school will be that much more out of your reach), who simply work as hard as they can and still can’t make it. So what do we do? Write them off without knowing the first thing about them? And then what happens to people like me? We have kids but we’re not able to help them financially and then they can’t go to school either. And even with decent grades, the cost of even a state school or skilled trades training might as well be a million dollars. And so another cycle of no financial mobility begins.

No one should have to pay forever for one shitty mistake or for a crappy dysfunctional family life. But in Conservative Land, the motto is Fuck You, I Got Mine, The Rest of You Can Die.
