We are the 99%

Post by Jesús Malverde »

Free secondary only education made sense when that was the level of education demanded by most employers, now employers generally demand a post-secondary degree. It's in everyone's interest that as many qualified students as possible have the educational qualifications the economy demands. It makes no sense to provide disincentives for this to occur or to saddle the people who do the "right thing" and prepare themselves to be productive contributing members of society with a crippling debt load just as they go the the job market.

In Germany they have free post secondary education up to the doctoral level and they have a better educated more productive workforce as a result. This allows them to profitably make stuff other people actually want to buy and makes them economically strong. Americans are Obsessed with throwing up obstacles to people them deriding them when they cannot overcome those obstacles. It's a relatively very mean spirited and punitive culture, morally challenged.

Recently there has been a lot of discussion about capitalism in the news and among activists. Many people are taking stances on either one side of the issue or the other, but very few are stopping to consider the fact that capitalism may have never existed in the first place...

"When you've got this kind of economic disparity between people on the line, it's not something that can go on for a long period of time."

i have issues with the ows movement at the moment and am thinking more tents n bags are NOT what they need; they need to cut the Zucotti park umbilical chord; quite thinking lika cum-bay-ya party; take the revolution on their backs; split up into movable hordes that will occupy different places; hit it and run to the next; right now, they are depending on the generosity of the enemy (not too brilliant) and REACTING to what the pigs do; defense is never a good place to operate from...especially if one is NOT gonna defend a fuking thing; standing around while that cop pepper-sprayed the sitting students, was the last straw for me; by splitting up and occupying various places, you effectively divide the enemy as well; Nietzsche had something to say about people that have consistently bad things happen to them: something like: "after a while, one starts to think that they deserve it" human nature is this way and OWS better snap the fuk outta it; i am betting that you did NOT expect to hear this from me today :D from Barbara A.
