<p>People are either A.) too stupid or B.) in denial of the fact that the modern American way of life is a thing of the past. The middle class doesn’t exist anymore. From the very get go, the entire game is rigged for 95% of us, we’ll never get ahead, not when college tuitions keep rising over double the rate of inflation while American middle class incomes continue to do this:</p>

<p>The vast majority of Americans are simply too stupid to realize that their entire system and culture is *****ed beyond belief. The greatest con ever invented in this country is tricking the majority into believing that you can get ahead with more education via the collegiate education system at the cost of THOUSANDS of dollars of debt. Congratulations bait biters, you just forked over 20 years of your life paying off thousands in debt plus interest for incomes that you could have made as a high school graduate, carpenter, or plumber. </p>
<p>If I were a science student these days I would learn Chinese or Portuguese. Brazil and China are going to absolutely dominate the US in the next 30+ years. The US will be the **** boy of the world economy for the foreseeable future due to idiotic domestic and economic policies that have shot themselves in the foot. A science graduate these days needs to think globally with regards to employment. Eventually you just may have to move to China, Brazil, or Indonesia for sustainable employment, because that is where real money is being spent on things other than weapons technology and bombs.</p>
