Is….is this satire?
It's a pretty good troll. They had some shit in a rust community when they joined five months ago that is either pretty smart or total bullshit, I'm not smart enough to tell.
Now they're doing this today. I like this one the best.
the last thread I read had this same little chimp stating that steve jobs was essentially god like and that he could pay people 8 dollars an hour to work in his crypto empire.
How funny, I just had a post in a year-old thread of mine where someone talked about how China was going to buy Apple.
Except that most of Western Europe for example has essentially free tuition, exactly because people recognize how important education is. Germany for example even has interest free loans for students on top of very low tuition fees (500€ / year) and subsidized housing and transport.
All my life I've heard that interest free student loans wouldn't work because folks wouldn't pay them and it made a sad sense to me... I'm angry-relieved to hear that isn't the case.
Read their username
Edit: oh woops, I read it as cybergeezer not cybergazer
Weird. I work at a college and there's tons of money for everything except what directly relates to education. We have a nice new stadium and community theater, but they keep canceling classes and not replacing professors. I know for a fact that stadium was bankrolled by the alumni, so if my tuition fees aren't going towards a professor that physically works at my university, where are they going?
Pointless administrators that physically work at the college. They will have titles like “alumni integration and diversity standards affairs events coordinator” or “student relations and planning manager for community engagement” or some other word salad title that you will receive spammed in your inbox constantly while your professors emails somehow get routed to your junk mail folder.
