@BlackAzizAnansi @kwanza Higher education as well, now a glorified trade school. Effective debt peonage for college grads (and dropouts) is another feature-not-bug situation. The endgame is to go back to the time when few people went to college, return to the glory days of a finishing school pipeline into the upper stratus, populated by legacy students leavened here and there with sports phenoms and a few actual geniuses plucked from the plebians to continue the Horatio Alger bullshit narrative.
