Use Biden’s Student Loan Rich Jerk Giveaway to Destroy Academia
Town Hall ^ | 2 May 2022 | Kurt Schlichter

We need to do everything we can to ensure that the Crustacean-in-Chief folds to the left again and decides to pay-off his constituency of affluent, sexually dysfunctional college loan debtors – throw us in that briar patch, you desiccated old pervert! Now, you may be confused if you watched my Townhall VIP “Stream of Kurtiousness” video last Friday expressing, in an unrelenting stream of naughty words, how infuriating it would be to reward dumb people at the expense of people who were not dumb. But we cannot be carried away with emotion. This is a golden opportunity to raze academia as currently constituted and sow the campuses with salt.

That most of the deadbeats who want you to pay their bills won’t be able to figure out that reference is itself sufficient reason to consign academia to oblivion.

Let’s understand what academia really is – a network of colleges and universities that provide nearly meaningless credentials mostly to upper middle class post-adolescents in exchange for tons of money and access to their soft, malleable minds for indoctrination in the current commie consensus. Unless you are going to Hillsdale or the like, you are not getting what they are selling – a mind-opening experience where you will learn to think as you become an educated citizen. More likely, you will get a piece of paper certifying your readiness to take your place as a cog in both the corporate and cultural machines.

Academia, outside of some STEM research (though STEM is being decolonialized and unpatriarched and generally turned into a joke like Transgender Medieval Karaoke Studies is, except with a little math – and don’t worry, there are no right answers because right answers are racist), is useless and a drain on society...

IF those loans are ‘forgiven’, the balance becomes INCOME & IS TAXABLE.

White males cannot get the pretend jobs. Those are for women and minorities.
I worked at a large utility company. (Gas & Electric)
The only way to make quotas was to make the call center , and billing department, entirely dark and/or female. (occasional token whites)
If you were non white and intelligent, strap on your seatbelt because you are going places...

Let it be discharged in bankruptcy. They should pay a price as well.

How about a windfall profits tax on college endowment funds to pay for writing off student debts? Harvard’s endowment fund made over $10 Billion last year alone.

I'm grateful that I earned my MBA from a state university in 1987 when they still had faculty who actually worked in business. And while it didn't lead me to a decent paying job within a 4000 mile radius of the university, it did lead me to one in another country where I had a rewarding career for the next 14 years with another 18 years back in my home country.

Well actually closer to 20, but I am discounting two years at a "woke" corporation where I became a cog covering for idiot management who had been promoted to their level of incompetence.

Silly author. Academia is already destroyed.

There are cogent reasons why the loan forgiveness program is not a good thing, but that isn't one of them.

When I did consulting for a large manufacturer of important equipment... They had an entire division to hire grossly unqualified diversity hires to keep the diversity quotas looking good. They did busy work to keep them away from the production line. Everyone knew the game but no one dared utter a word about the scam.

Same exact thing occurs anywhere jobs require high IQ and attention to detail.
