Honestly, I kind of wish Americans would stop going to most colleges.  Tuition is so damn high because no matter how high they set it, people will still pay.
That's true of any country, although in some it's the government that pays.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

And then there are the many nations that pay the whole of your college if you have good enough grades to begin with, and the one that just has free college.

Student loans are not nearly as crippling in NZ as they are in the US doe to the low repayment rates and lack of interest. Australia has it even better, annoyingly enough.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Eh. At least you can connect it to the happiness that sooner or later the system will fall apart.

But it won't be the people who were involved in the system that get punished for it, just like in '08.

Sure they will. The generation that popularized the idea that everyone should go to university will be hitting retirement age, and the people who would have been paying their Social Security checks are going to be unemployed or working shit jobs for shit pay and not paying enough into the system.

'cept for the fact they won't really need social security, given they'd have massive amounts of coins from tax evasion avoidance ('cause they're not similes when it comes to the fucking law, apparently) or all the shares in the banks that are too big to fail. /cynicism

You're missing your target there. There are "universities" that are run as profitable institutions. State unis aren't among them. Contrary to popular belief, not everything bad is a conspiracy cunningly orchestrated by a cabal of the super-rich, and acting as if it were doesn't help people working to fight corruption where it genuinely exists. The systemic problems with U.S. universities are due to a combination of mismanagement, poor and often incoherent federal and state fiscal policy, a population unwilling to accept taxation for the benefits it demands, and a generation of people who, after seeing their own (at the time unusual) college degrees lead them to success, decided that everyone should get a degree, thus making it as if nobody had.

Among other things. The profiteering off of student loans I'll grant you. Heh. Grant. Get it, 'cause nobody gets those any more. :I

Got the best possible grade for my 'internship' (the tutorium I held). It may have helped that in my report I mentioned that the visit to the Christmas Market (and subsequent consumption of quite a bit of mulled wine) had 'a rather non-subject specific focus'.

Finally got caught up in RE:Monster EX Quest.  There is happiness and headpats.

But now I am sad, because I have to wait for the new episodes to come out.  In the meantime, it does have parts that I kind of want to salvage for a game.  Namely the Pass+ / Fail+ system.  Hrm...
