If you’ve made it into the club in America - if you’re within the circle of institutional compassion either through luck or finance - then no place could be better. The critical problem in America today is that not enough people can make it into the club. Not enough get a chance.

1/That’s why healthcare matters. That’s why access to higher education matters. That’s why removing college loan debt matters.People who live with chronic economic anxiety, barely above survival level, have little chance to actualize their own productivity and financial capacity.

I'm so glad you are saying this; I've danced between the two, and I know both camps. And what I've come to realize is, "the fight to earn financ security" is so damn demeaning and rigged, that those who have never had to do so, really DON'T HAVE A CLUE! Honestly, it's torture!

I never liked clubs. Capitalism didn’t end slavery, it just gave some slaves the chance to be slave owners.

I paid off over 90k of Student Loans 30 years ago. I'd like that all back plus Interest then.

Please don’t take my taxes so Becky can get a liberal arts degree costing 20-100k. You want to fund nursing school, small farms, trade tech professional training cool. But please don’t advocate for taking out money like to continue the hypocritical outdated higher ed model.
