So what I'm getting out of this is a couple points:

  • Births have been declining, meaning the student population has been declining.
  • College has gotten insanely expensive and unaffordable.
  • The job market no longer guarantees a good job just for having a degree.
  • Federal funding cuts to colleges have exacerbated the cost.
  • Young adults are re-evaluating whether the increasing cost of college is really worth the trouble.

All this will lead to the college bubble finally bursting (it's been coming for decades now). Top-heavy school administrations won't cut their own budgets, so the bust will first harm teachers, students, and quality of education. We will ultimately have a less educated population, which will only further empower the fascists.

You're only competing with yourself when you run. The fact that others are ahead of or behind you doesn't matter, let alone who they are or what's in their goddamn pants.

Also it's national Italian beef month.
