  • Somehow I’m getting the impression you don’t understand the problem here.

    People need jobs, prevailing wisdom told them to go to college so they would become hireable. It turns out a college degree doesn’t make you hireable.

    They are right to feel betrayed about the debt they took on to the benefit of landlords and banks, at the urging of pretty much every adult in the country, and to the end result of ever expanding debt all from a time in their life where they could not have borrowed a similar amount of money to start a business or purchase a home.

    They were used. They were tricked. They are being taking advantage of and we all are going to suffer mightily because of what that leveraged wealth is able to do in terms of political and financial power.

    The kids who took on this debt are not your enemy. I think it was pretty clear to some of us growing up at the turn of the millennium that this is where it was all going, but it’s hard for me to condescend to the kids who believed their parents.

    I’m just really lucky that I had experience working with computers and was able to get a job that has nothing to do with anything I learned in school at any point along the way.













  • Why would there need to be?

    Republicans were just fishing for any excuse to stop the clintons from forming a cohesive universal health care plan and in general just obstruct the government because Democrats had power. They would have found something. They had already latched onto a 43,000 loss The clintons made on a land deal as if it was proof of high crimes and misdemeanors.

    If they knew about the blowjob they would have gone right for it. Instead it was something that popped up during cross-examination when they were investigating the whitewater scandal during the government shutdown they had caused and managed to catch Clinton in a lie . They realized there actually was someone else in the oval office with him even though he said that he was alone.

    That’s why the whole conversation about what the word “is” is even happened.





  • Silimar, I had a teacher ask us to write down the first animal that came to mind and I wrote, “wolf spider” because to an 8 year old, there are few more bad ass sounding animals.

    She said “really? That’s the First animal you think of?” Eye roll

    Me: looks down at doodles of giant spiders battling tanks that shoot lightning, “it’s the only animal I’m thinking of right now…”
