1980 the median CA household income would have purchased 17 UC bachelor’s degrees. Now, barely one.

What then of heroes like Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, Walter E. Williams? Will they have to find REAL jobs too?

Yes. Somehow, I find it hard to believe they would have difficulties doing that.

Elite liberals have an inflated sense of their worth... fools.

Why aren’t they oding it themselves? Would they have expected a abolitionist become slaveowner by inheritance or marriage to free the slaves? Or are THEY continuing to live off the fruits of a form of indentured servitude upon captured youth?

Well, then let them do it. Empty bragging is easy. Drop all the pensions and derivative positions associated with the poisoned fruits of the modern academic tree.

They already have second jobs as media commentators.

And in a truly competitive academic environment, they should be able to more than hold their jobs.

With "Professor" in front of their name. What I'm saying is DROP all the benefits direct and indirect that the academic title and association presents. And then see who pays them to speak.

They would probably still be commentators, if nothing else than by their prior body of work.

It is entirely too easy to get ‘Professor’ in front of your name. See the recent anti-nuke idiots in Japan, for example.

For years I tried to come up with a solution for the
“good academics”, for a “soft transition” Now, although
ultimately I have confidence that there will be support
for such in the long run, I am not sure that the transition
will be pleasant for any.
