i dont know if you've noticed, but the point of my posts is actually to make fun of the shitty american economy in these post-reagan, post-industrial, clusterfuck with china times of retail and telemarketing jobs.

oh, on that note, here's another great feat of american ingenuity

im sure all the parts are made in china though

what we excel at is advertising

as a friend would say, we can turn bullshit into "egyptian dung"

long live the declining middle class

krispy kremes are kind of more awesome than thighmaster vibrators, though. so I took the suggestion more seriously.

Our universities used to be completely free, but that changed decades ago. Everyone who works in govt now never paid anything to study, that's why (imho) none of them understand what it is like to be a student now.

It is one thing I believe very strongly in, that if anyone in a society wishes to educate themselves on any topic, they should be given the opportunity. Regardless of social/financial/"need for that kind of 'qualification' in our market". The moment you start restricting education is the moment the society is doomed to fail in the long term.

private college type places like SAE are rarely government sponsored though, they usually only take full fee and offer scholarships.

ah ok... so either i misunderstood or the dudes i talked to are dumb
