It's amazing that we denigrate the foundations of a classical education for fellow members of the working class, and rather than blame the politicians (and the body politic, of course...) for failing to shape the market for our fellow citizens to thrive (including taxing billionaires, controlling immigration, etc) we simply blame the working class for choosing the wrong subject at the ripe age of 18 and doom them to a family-less, apartment-dwelling class forever, as though they should have had the foresight to "compete on their merits" in the same system that cut taxes for the billionaires after "forgiving" their COVID loans. "Meritocracy" was always a dystopian fiction, but the disconnect between even "good worker" and "stable, good income" is so severed that we watch as thousands of our tech compatriots are laid off after record profits, and I have to wonder how deep the cuts have to come before we the slightest inkling of class consciousness takes root.
