Came for this. There are articles everywhere about adjunct professors getting paid so little they need two jobs to afford an apartment. At the same time, many college & university administrators have salaries like CEOs. They make it seem like the school always needs more money, so tuition goes up every year.

Rides with Bicycles but Loves Cars is on point - FAFSA was begun with good intentions, but like most government programs, these financial assistance programs got perverted through BS insider laws and really smart people exploiting loopholes to make a lot of money.

if i can do it all over again i would of went to a trade school, probably to be a electrician, i was so ignorant on the whole process back then but i recently found out about the process and decided to just take the test to get in by the way there is no age limit to join,when i was there the majority of people there…

What Rides said, about FAFSA loans! And also, outrageous use of federal funds to build luxury buildings and expensive facilities (fancy ass gyms, football stadiums, campus pools...) as well as ballooning administrative departments. I went to A&M, which is currently building a hotel and conference center in the middle…

States have also cut a shitload of funding. In Wisconsin, in the 73-74 academic year, Wisconsin covered 44% of the budget for the state schools. Now it's under 17%. Where does that difference come from? Student loans. 

In addition to what the other poster said, part of it is the recent economy has allowed employers to be extremely selective, tacking on “college education required” for jobs that, frankly, don’t.

There’s also the fact that student loan terms are terrible. The idea of deferring that first payment until graduation is nice, but as long as those loans are accruing interest, your finance cost grows exponentially.

Nayaa, who was already maxed-out on loans...

When my family moved into Navy Officer’s Housing in San Diego in 1966 there were a lot of unhappy white people in the neighborhood. My father was stationed in Vietnam at the time when my mother moved her five children including 9-year-old me, into that all-white neighborhood. I was called “nigger” by more than a few…

In immortal words of Sir Lil’ Jon in the seminal Youngbloodz classic “Damn!”;

“So when the Dusty Rhodes-looking woman”

How? He seems like an off-the-grid, drinks-his-own-urine type.

Who would’ve thought Sasha Baron Cohen would be doing more good for the US than Congress in 2018?

Yeah man, if the only thing that comes out of this is that a few racists resign and a bunch of other ones shut the fuck up once in a while, it’s still pretty solid. Who would’ve thought Sasha Baron Cohen would be doing more good for the US than Congress in 2018?

Spoiler alert: most of Arizona is racist. Actually, most of AMERICA is racist. Arizona just stands out for how shitty its racism can be. Looking at you, Sheriff Arpaio. 

I love the stuff. I ain’t gone lie. I tried after wondering why whypipo were carrying it out of Whole Foods literally by the cart. I MEAN EVERYONE had a case with whatever they purchased like it was some kind of “free with any purchase”. I was working Instacart at the Pacific Heights (Ess Eff) Whole Foods and the…

That’s how I read the mayor’s comments.

Kingman: sure, we’re racist, but you should see the other towns around here.

By lying to the 911 operator about someone being attacked, didn’t she already make a false report? Why isn't she being charged for that?

Jesus Christ, this woman wholly created this situation from thin air. And the gall of the police department to encourage this shit by publicly stating she did the right thing. See something, say something doesn’t really work if white people are seeing things that aren't there.
