Reply to comment by akhier in Temple University deactivated health insurance of all striking graduate workers today by TransFattyAcid
We would have had it like 50 years ago but our heroic job creators can’t come to a consensus. They hate paying for it but love having the leverage over us peons.

Reminds me of the convo I was privy to a few years back.
Person A: "Thank GOD for Trump and getting rid of that goddamn Obama care."
Person B: "Wait, what? Aren't you on Obama care?"
Person A: "DUH, NOOOO, I'm on the affordable care act insurance!"
Person B: Stunned silence.
Gump said "stupid is as stupid does" well I guess stupid is as stupid votes? Or something like that...shrug

And we already have the top research universities in the world.
Addressing the runaway inflation with public university tuition would be a much more practical and beneficial approach.
I’m not sure a bunch of High School graduates would have split the atom in the 1940’s or got us to the moon within 50 years after the first flight.

It’s essentially everyone’s family now that it’s become clear how easily influenced everyone is on social media. There is at least one…
