Yes. Of course. Some people in the comments will lament letting the dum dums into college but that’s not the problem. The problem is we consistently see this pattern across our society. Profit above all else. Our entire society in the western world now is a big game to extract as many dollars (sorry, value) from each other as possible through any means necessary. And we are not learning our lesson.
