I'm so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.
Y'know what? I don't think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we've normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.
Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can't do both school and work. Guess it's poverty for you, buddy.
Honestly I feel like a lot of that was just another of the benefits of imperialism we had in the imperial core which have slowly been reclaimed by the bourgeoisie. Less people went to college which mean the standards were lower, which meant they could fuck around more. Fewer educated people also means less competition in the job market. Also of course incomes stopped rising in the '70s but prices kept increasing which meant that they were literally spending less on everything despite making/having the same relative amount of money.
