    For the record, upward mobility is exactly what I was promised when I took out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans to get a bachelors degree. I’m not exaggerating, they had a fucking PowerPoint…

    Also I sure appreciate doing the exact same thing the previous three generations did, getting a different result, and then being called a delusional loser for it, especially by somebody who was almost certainly handed their chance in life on a platter.

    Literally cutting off his nose to spite his face.

    “The intelligent, educated people that we rely on to create the products and services we make all our money on, are asking for compensation and must be eliminated from society!”

      I’m fairly certain once these people manage to solve the need for labor, they’ll start exterminating the rest of us.

        They’ve literally been going around giving seminars saying this exact thing for several years now. The media mostly doesn’t care, 1 because they’re owned by these guys and 2 because it sounds so batshit it never gets any traction when they do mention it

        We all saw how industrialised the killing was in WW2. That was 80 years ago, with equipment we would consider fairly primitive today. They’re constantly threatening WW3.

        Extermination is exactly the right word. It undersells the wholesale slaughter we will be sent to if anything.

    His point is kinda dumb, although not unexpected from an oligarch wannabe. The problem is the middle class is being hollowed out. A majority of college grads are middle class. When the economic system doesn’t work for the educated, of course they’re going to look at alternatives.

      They might even be smart enough to pull it off despite the leverage of the greed demons throwing money at made up problems to keep the rest in their pockets.

      Perhaps why they want more uneducated people

    Mildly

    Implies these are all the children of rich people with his line about the parents house in the Hamptons, but realistically the majority of these people grew up in normal ass homes and went to college to afford to live.
